In the 1950s, it was called, "The Bad Seed"! Nature over nurture! 5/5.
That was really good. I love it when they try to turn it around on the husbands and don't get anywhere. I hate it when they try to turn it around on the husbands and the fools end up on the defensive.
Hahahahaha, loved this tale, the closing scene made everything come together nicely!
Wow, great story.
Liked it very much... Nice whimsical tale...
5 stars

like mother and granmother it runs in the family. A smart husband made the right move.
While not associating with people who aren't worth shit is a given, one should also be wary of those who do. If they lack the fortitude to get rid of the bad fruit, it's only a matter of time before the rot spreads.
It starts with not wanting to be the one to rock the boat, but once it becomes the "norm", that can quickly turn into tacit approval and open doors that should remain closed.
Apart from the sadly obligatory 'big cock' nonsense that grates so, it was HDK at his hilarious best.
Another great 5* story HDK, welcome back. You have been sorely missed by many.
Wonderful, as always. Hope Traci's husband takes the bat to both the WHORE and HER MASTER, and continues on her slut mother and slut grandmother. They're breathing precious air good people could breathe.
The ending was just perfect. New complex situation, interesting characters, upright guys, well-written as usual. HDK has a way to put a twist on words that is really humorous and delightful.
Thanks HDK! 5* from me. And as much as I liked the story, your tag, “no fag cuck shit” made my day.
I think we missed the part where Jim was arrested for assault and battery on one-nut. In real life, violence is not free.
While it's a great question, it is a moot point given these men are knee deep in hoes. His wife KNEW, his wife HELPED hide the affair from her own father. It's obvious she doesn't respect the most important man in her life, the one that raised her. So it doesn't matter if she's cheated or not. It doesn't matter if cheating is genetic, nurtured, or some weird combination. What matters is her views of fidelity, and men.
We are human. Of course it'd be a lot harder to judge a daughter caught in the middle of all this, and not taking anyone's side. But she took a side, her mom's side. Over and over again. Author did a good job of vaguely alluding to the daughter being in affairs, without actually saying it out right. While it doesn't matter in my opinion, it's great story telling.
Hahaha.
That was hilarious!
Stupid women.
Thanks Harddaysknight.
I like The Beatles too.
Nice tight little story. Sure does look like cheating, lying, and deceiving runs in the woman of that family.
"That's not her husband. That guy only has one ball," I replied with a sigh. "I made the right decision four years ago. Being with you and seeing Traci now fills me with relief and joy."
Whether its nature v nurture. The author has a point about the lifetime influences close family members with negative trace habits and behaviors have on the young and susceptible. The grandmother and mother are both lying manipulative round heel sluts and the daughter learnt to supports and enables that behavior. The odds were not in his favor that she would not go that route as well as influence another generation of kids in such foul behavioral patterns.
Nicely done with a fun twist at the end. Would have liked some of the conversation when Mike tells Traci she's out on her ass.
Interesting read and, a nice tie-up at the end. A little difficult to read. heck, the page break with your shift in time (4 years) had me going back and forth to make sure I was in the same story...lol. But still worth 5*
Yes! 5***** all the way. I enjoyed that a lot and the ending was perfect. There was just enough waffling in her words to let you know her commitment to the marriage was not absolute.
Loved it -- 5*, short and sweet. Nice to see a guy use his head to understand the situation.
Another flash of brilliance from Mr. HDK. Leave it to him to come up with a great plot and execute it so deftly in less than two pages. My hat is off to him. 5 stars, of course.
would have like to see Tracys reaction when she was served. otherwise average for you.
So he made the right decision or HE would have been the chap with the baseball bat? Say! I wonder if that kind of shenanigans was why Bentley was de-balled?
Good, 5* story as ever. Great start to the week.
The only critique I have is the part where you glossed over Jim's arrest for assault & battery, the wife has a restraining order against him and he gets screwed by the judicial system. Other than that, loved it!!!!
You did it again you little devil; great story. I guess everyone has a Traci and Amber in their lives; good choice for your MC. 5*
But I figured it out. One ball Bentley sure lives dangerously! Funniest line was did we get the contract?
You know... these... 'loving wives' stories you write feel more and more like brain therapy man. Hope all is well.
Ha, what a fun, quick story. Talk about cutting your losses. One-nut's, one nut was quite busy, at least for one family of females. But where will hubby # 2 aim that baseball bat?
If our protagonist had so much respect for Jim, why didn't he tell him everything he learned from his phone recording? That's really the only downside to this tale.
Wish he would finally get around to finishing LiR as he once promoted in an email enquiry.
Life goes on and people still make promises they never intended to keep.
"Like mother, like daughter", to the 3rd power.
Is One-Nut's testicle being passed-down as a "family jewel" in Traci's family Wills?
One of your best ones, HDK!
Classic HDK marital drama infused with whimsy and sarcasm. In that sense, you remind me a lot of of Woody Allen, perhaps my all time favorite comic screenwriter.
There's actually a lot of truth in this. Whenever I was getting serious with a woman, my dad always told me to look carefully at the relationship between her parents. I should have listened to him.
Mr Shock wrote, "While not associating with people who aren't worth shit is a given, one should also be wary of those who do. If they lack the fortitude to get rid of the bad fruit, it's only a matter of time before the rot spreads."
.
Except, of course, this was Traci's mother at fault; does anyone really expect a daughter to dump her own mother?
And really, Traci is a name specifically reserved for Hooked1957's cheating wives characters!
Another HDK special! Loved the ending. I don’t recall any mention of One Nuts marital status, but if he was married, it would explain why he had an “accident “ and Jim never heard from the cops.
Another great story from the master! HDK has not lost an inch off his fastball--this one is fast-paced, tightly plotted, direct and simple and yet utterly absorbing from beginning to end. He knows that we don't care whether Theo and Amanda met in a record store or at a frat party, and how big her boobs are. We're not interested in his love of rock-climbing or her two adorable parakeets, unless they're connected to the story somehow. HDK draws us in, gets us interested, and spins his tale. Aside from the disappointing lack of fag cuck shit, this is a winner!
Thanks, ohio
Wonderful HDK. I wish there was some way that the slut's reputations could be made public. I understand the no fault divorce, but there should be a penalty to the guilty party when they do cause the divorce. Could you imagine any dating businesses and of course the county and state marriage registrars having to notify people that so and so is a known cheater / gambler / spouse abuser / etc... i.e. if you date or marry this person you are doing so at your own risk, and are publicly stating that you are dumber than sh$t!
Honestly SomeOneOther that depends on who you are and where you are. Believe me.
Hysterical. Sometimes it's just good to laugh at an entertaining story. Loved the ending.
Hooked
Re: Someoneother. The idea that the "law" gets enforced in every instance in which it is broken is childish. Violence often is free, as well as theft, rape, murder, etc.
5.
"Are you kidding me? He's almost as old as Dad and only has one nut" - Is that all? How about it would be cheating?
\
As if it wasn't bad enough that Traci was covering for her mother and grandmother, but she got mad at HIM for cluing in her father.
I had to read the first page three times to figure out who was who and why was Callie in Mike’s kitchen. It didn’t need to be that confusing; you could’ve revealed that Mike was Jim’s son-in-law much earlier.
All-in-all, it just feels rushed and thrown together, more like an uncompleted sketch. This whimsical writing style is more appropriate, in my opinion, for a humorous tale like “Not Guilty”, but this particular foray didn’t jell for me.
Thanks again for providing many enjoyable reading moments over the years.
Unless you are rioting with BLM and burning down buildings, like police stations, and making attempts on federal court houses. Or arrested for assault in New York City or San Francisco or Chicago.
Oh, but assaulting a sexual predator without premeditation and with gross provocation, oh, my, we can't have that in civilized pornographic literature. The only mystery is why One Nut is still able to have sex with a woman. I guess Jim didn't bother to finish the job.
I would have enjoyed the obvious drama and contentious dialogue as the cautious son implements his preemptive divorce from the genetically and environmentally infected future whore. If you owned a child skittish dog from a large litter, and you learned that EVERY dog from that litter eventually attacked when a new born baby was brought into the home, what might you do before you bring home your first new born? I think the plot and the reasoning was sound. How about if the daughter was protecting members of her family for drug dealing, theft, or conducting a Ponzi scheme?
The only possible flaw in the story is how these promiscuous sluts kept their moral and ethical corruption from being detected by other aspects of their values and behaviors. I've always found corrupted souls are pretty easy to discern given enough time and scrutiny. Most husbands get fooled because they are deaf, dumb, and blind. They claim its love. I wonder why something and beautiful and wholesome as true love requires a person to become stupid? But that's another story. Thanks for your effort with this story.
Not a fan of people being punished for what they might do.
At the very least I would have waited to see the how Traci reacted to her mother and grandmother's divorces.
Not a bad story, just didn't resonate
To ‘someone other’ in life violence is not free and Jim would have been arrested - do you watch the news or read it? Lots of people getting away with violence on a day to day basis, justified or not.
He’ll, no idea where you live…. Heaven? Or in some wealthy gated community for the rich and famous?
Is there a ...subtraction of the spheres... in the very near future?
5 stars for funny
A previous comment said it all. "Best 2 line ending ever". Just reading that made the whole story worth spending some time. Thanks!! LOL
That this story is rated as high as Robertabob’s recent story is an absolute crime. Not even in the same ballpark. Please folks stop giving sympathy votes just because you see a famous lit name.
Well done, although a bit abrupt. He decides he doesn’t trust his wife, and then *bing* it’s 4 years later! I would have liked to have heard the conversation he had with his wife when he told her he was divorcing her. Nice touch in the end with one-ball. 5 stars!
His decision should have been obvious halfway down the first page, when Traci declared, "I want Mike to father any kids we have. That's one thing I'll make sure of." Right then and there, he knew she wasn't opposed to cheating just like her mother and grandmother, as long as she made sure of the DNA of any babies she had. Game over, hire that lawyer. The rest is just window-dressing.
1 star - If this was supposed to be a Loving Wives story - you failed miserably.
It was the story about a SLUT, as well as a daughter-SLUT and a granddaughter-SLUT in the making.
Where is the Loving in all that mess?
PS - you can delete my comments BUT you can not change the average score - which is probably well on its way down to ZERO where it belongs.
