She paid the price of being such an awful person. Maybe when she passes she will finally know peace. Maybe..... BardnotBard
This woman is a sociopath. PERIOD. She deserved her end. By the way quadriplegic also can't breathe, they need a ventilator,
A satisfying resolution. Can’t say I believe in ghosts, however I do believe in the power of the mind to create things we don’t understand. Her prison was of her own making.
As they say “ You reap what you sow “ . Great story about revenge for doing someone that much wrong .
Felt like the Christmas Carol.....getting all the different Ghosts of Christmas past. Great writing, but bah humbug. lol
I love reading the strong negative responses, knowing that you are writing and manipulating the emotions of the reader, getting exactly what you want out of them. Fabulous writing!
@ nixrox- Damn, man, grow a pair. Violence is a part of life. Always has been, always will be. You don’t have to love it but denying it ain’t gonna make it go away. Anyway, great one,
‘Tramp, thanks for it. I guess Terry wasn’t kidding when he told her ‘See ya later…’
Still, three decades later.
Thanks again, ‘Tramp. Five stars.
Damn, this guy can write. This one special, gives me chills.
Cheers,
Captcha
Surprisingly, this left me discontented. Not as good as chapter 1. Would have liked to have Helen's sister "force" a memorial service for Terry and have all of Terry's colleague's praise Terry as a person. (adding to Helen's guilt at her lack of respect for Terry). And the lover, Ray, needed some sort of comeuppance too. Nice to see after a slightly longer time than Helen and Terry had been married, Helen finally was beginning to understand the cost.
Just terribly tragic. But good writing, as expected from Saddletramp.
1 star - violence in an LW story always gets a one-star rating - no matter how great the writing.
This is truly one of the best stories I have read here. Guilt can really lead to a nightmare and profound changes. You told one of them brilliantly! 5*!
My sympathy goes to the driver's of the trucks that her car hit, due to the trauma her action caused to them.
Reading the original story I wasn't sure what someone could do with it to make it a full story without completely changing the ending. ST1956 proved me why he's such a well regarded author round these parts by doing a magnificent job with it. A sad story but a well written one. 5 stars, entertaining as heck.
Nailed it again, I know I can always count on you to deliver a feel good story.
5 stars 🤩
Saddletramp you write very well and are recognized as outstanding.
I'll not give you a grade because I have read many of your stories that involve the supernatural: which I don't believe in or have pleasure in reading about.
This wife was mentally damaged, maybe from early in life, as the story maybe indicates. Suicide Husband also is mentally in need of help.
Yes, You say it's your universe; your story.
I can not give you praise on this type of story. No I'm not a Doctor or have a degree.
@Harryin VA: Have you never read Saddletramp stories? If not, here’s some insight, expect the supernatural. If this is not your thing, stop reading and go to the exit. Likewise, the antagonist woman will almost always be some kind of psychopath. Her actions will defy anything you think normal, and the burnage will extreme. But, @Saddletramp writes well, knows how to pace a story to keep it interesting, makes great use of present tense memes, and frankly has a great sense of humor, albeit somewhat on the dark side🤣.
Wait a minute! Did it really take her a dead husband, a near-death experience, and being haunted by a ghost for 25 years in hospice to come to that conclusion?
Прожить 25 лет в таком состоянии и остаться в своем уме? Насколько же она психически сильна? И как она допустила такую свою деградацию в браке?
Is this woman for real? I know it's your universe, but are such women really possible?
"It's only one night. I'll come back tomorrow and everything will be fine." Really?
"And if he had gone away with another woman for one night?" Justine asked.
"Terry would NEVER cheat on me. He's NOT that kind of man. I would have destroyed him in divorce, he knew that"
Is this a 46 year old woman talking? Are these the words of a reputed attorney with 22 years experience? It sounds so much like the reasonings of a 13 year old schoolgirl. How self-centered, how narcissistic, how selfish, how childish could a woman be to rationalise and reason that way. I suppose she deserved every day of her 25 years in the hospital.
I guess BTB wasn't enough. Part 3 has her living in a rat infested NH where she dies being eaten alive by the rats who are controlled by Terry.
The original story was sad.
This sequel is somehow even sadder.
Thanks for the share, author.
Whew! A simple ghost story - no galloping supernatural judges with corny dialects, aliens with pin-wheel eyes or sadistic eternal goddesses. Those are getting more than a little worn out.
TO THE IDIOT BUSTER2U...
..... if every story that you read and review is 10 blazing stars then it doesn't mean anything. I mean come on dude you can't really be this fucking stupid
The first question that comes to mind is how this awful ridiculous Force contrived sophomore story has scores as high.? If you're the type of person that wants to see a burn the bitch outcome then this certainly did not achieve that as the wife got away with a lot and paid very little price.
.
The ridiculous Stephen King type of this entire part 2 is badly done and doesn't really work. Even if the reader is stupid enough to assume and suspend disbelief for 1 minute if the ex-wife is having dreams and visions of seeing her dead husband then wise or sister and the sister's husband suggesting that she spend time alone on a lake where she could be haunted without interruption?
.
This is just badly done by somebody With the writing skill of someone in their first year of college. Quite frankly the author omes across as one of those crazy manhating trumpian Angry clowns you see on instagram.
Nice add-on conclusion to a too-short original story.
I enjoyed reading it, and awarded all five.
Incredibly unsatisfactory. Seems like you took the lazy way out. Take the japanese approach to the death sentence: you never know when you'll be executed, you just find out the day of the execution.
The mental torture is in not knowing and getting your hopes up only for them to burn in front of your eyes.
Be better.
Lame sort of a way to do a BTB; kill yourself and then haunt the widow. Can't imagine that to be very satisfactory. Did he cause her to fall asleep at the wheel? Even if so her quadriplegia is a cold comfort (yeah, shitty pun intended) to Terry. 5 stars for a very entertaining follow up.
That's a nice bittersweet ending. Having her coming to terms with his haunting was brilliant for me. She reached rock bottom and her only companionship at this point, is the ghost of the man she indirectly killed. There is some sweet irony there. And while I don't generally like paranormal in this kind if story, it really worked here. My only gripe would be having others witnessing the poltergeist, like nurse and sister. Having her as the sole witness would have left it ambiguous. Maybe she is really possessed or she just went crazy. And that would have been better to me. Still an awesome sequel to a depressing story.
Well done as usual. ST you always take your stories in unexpected directions and thus one really takes the wife in a very unexpected direction. “was it worth the cost” never had more meaning behind it. Well done.
Why would anyone want to read about such a self centered, ignorant person
Total waste of time
Not the ending I was expecting but it was still good, kind of thought that there would have been a connection with Cam from your "Flash" series and she got a glimpse of what life would have been like after she went, but then with his help woke up on that Friday morning to try and save her marriage.
Overall good story though
5 stars! Really effective follow up from the original M1911A1 story. I liked the original but always felt the ending was too abrupt. Sad, dark and haunting like a good Story should!
As always, boss, you don't disappoint. Even though the poor fucker committed suicide and died, it was great. Mrs. Bear again says she never realized I was such a sick F***. She is glad she never cheated on me. 7 stars. You're worth it. Still, it was only BTB. I'm still sorry the M/C died. The Bear approves.
The BEAR
OMG that had to be one of the darkest stories I’ve read on here. I’m not a big fan of dark and depressing stories or movies but I still think it’s worth 5 stars for how well it was written. The original 750 word story was very dark so these two stories no doubt had to be dark too. ST is still one of my favorite authors. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
After 25 years as quadraplegic, she realizes that her affair its something to feel ashamed... damn the audacity of that bitch jajajajaja.
Not much to say, the end its classic ST end, still Terry soul/ghost's its getting fucked in the afterlife so there are no winners in this one.
Well written, of course. I can only hope such afterlife justice is possible and all self-indulgent assholes get to feel the consequences of their actions. Terry needed to "man-up" early in their marriage when she made it clear kids were not in her future. He should have dumped the narcissistic bitch and found a true loving wife. She earned more than him and they had no kids, her pals could not have raped him in the divorce, he just lacked the gumption to move on. He ended up having a pity party when she left and offed himself - proving he was as weak as she believed him to be. ST56 at least gave her a taste of the misery she visited on her pathetic spouse. Thanks for sharing.
A good story but in a way a bit unsatisfying. In the same way the last story you wrote where the husband died. They're different stories but left me feeling the same at the end.
The husband is dead, there is no justice for him, ever, all you have is vengeance and that's not satisfying really. The wife can't make amends, can't get forgiveness, can't help him move on to a better life. All she can do is suffer.
Sometimes that's enough, sometimes it isn't.
This poor femdom invaded Loving (or Hating ?) Wives category, really needed (and still does) the Saddletramp cure: very good contribution, well written, original and bringing, as usual, the due Justice. Full 5 stars !
One of the best followup tales in this Femdom-Cucking-Wives category, with one of the higher, and well deserved, users rating. It's very, very rare to see a cheating slut wife, with her brain between her legs, paying for her disgusting betrayal. Now we could see another similar followup where the slut wife, filled with guilty and being remorseful, shoot herself: it would be just fair, since till now we have only seen cheated husbands shooting themselves. And besides, "it's just fiction", so no problem at all.
Excellent story ST, but I knew it would be. I don't know how you invent your stories but damn glad you do! 5 BIG ASS FUCKING HUGE FLAMING NOVA STARS! Thanks once again ST!
Great story, great ending. I don't think she ever repented of what she did, she just thinks it came at too high a price. So she's learned nothing about right and wrong, or what a bad person she is, especially with what she was planning, and I'm beginning to think she's brain-damaged in some way. Like a sociopath/psychopath or something.
.
Have to admit, I was feeling a little bit sorry for her by the end: I hope she finds peace and mercy in the afterlife. Yeah, and her husband deserves to rest. 5 stars, as usual.
A very long drawn out burn the bitch for eternity story. OK, she's still only sorry because of what it ended up costing her. She loved it, was going to continue it, and has no remorse or guilt about becoming a cheating arrogant cruel whore. A very depressing and unsatisfying story. Congratulations.
I can only hope my father in-law did that to my mother in-law, as she cuckolded him for a few years that I knew him. At the time I didn't know what it was, or that it had a name. He hung himself in the garage on her side.
Spending 25 years as a quadriplegic is a pretty severe punishment for night of cheating fun. Terry will not welcome her to the afterlife either. Great saddletramp ending.
Not to much in favor of Terry committing suicide as retribution toward his wife... it was a cowards way out... the whole story was just vengeful and nihilistic... no redeeming value whatsoever. 2-stars
Powerful and excellent story…… Helen being haunted by Terry longer than they were married. Took Helen an awful long time for her to realize her weekend wasn’t worth it…….
Thank you for writing.
Another fantastic tale. It is your universe and you describe it wonderfully. Reality is a subjective perspective. My wife claims to have seen her deceased grandfather standing in the middle of the road when she was falling asleep at the wheel on a lonely country road. My grandmother swore up and down she heard my deceased grandfather's wheelchair rolling about the house an hour before a break in occurred in her home. I listened to my deceased mother in law walk across her former room and sit upon the bed (feeling the mattress sink beneath me.) It is a matter of perspective and belief. I warned my children that even in death I would never leave them and would watch over them. The religious find comfort in similar thoughts. In a cinematic paraphrase "I see dead people. And am comforted by it." It is unfortunate that the husband committed other acts. Perhaps he could have instilled guilt without destroying her actual life. How long can we function with out sleep? Aw to sleep and perhaps to dream. Why is a good dream a dream and a bad one a nightmare? Well done. five stars is all I am able to give. I dream of more to offer.
Near perfection. We read about characters taking their own lives, but this is truly the first, "Resssst of the story... Good day!" we have read.
After her husbands suicide, the loss of her career, the lack of support from colleagues and being left alone in life besides her sister... It still took her decades to come to the conclusion that her weekend wasn't worth it. That's one narcissistic bitch! Good haunting, though!! LOL 4/5 BRB
I'm a bit surprised you thought 25 years in a nice nursing home was enough....and 25 years for the epiphany? Just didn't feel her remorse.
Wonderful, 10 stars. Helen figured she was the smartest thing that ever happened, but found out she wasn't. She got hers, and the punishment kept on giving... You're still the master, Saddletramp!
Ehh, I still don't get what her punishment was?🤷🏾♀️.. she ended up getting EVERYTHING instead of the half she would've gotten in a divorce🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾♀️🤭.. now he's roaming the earth bothering her... whopee... I still think she made it out better than she would have had he just divorce the skank and move on.... she has all the money for her care.. the only thing she gave two fucks about was the money... she didn't shed a single tear over his death. Throughout the story all she cared about was her losing her career and money.. even him visiting her in death was no longer a punishment like he thought it would be.. she now takes comfort of him being there... he was wimp, he died a wimp🤷🏾♀️.. he really should've gotten rid of her when she changed her mind about kids.. she waited until after the marriage to tell him she didn't want kids. That made her a liar, she was not a woman of her word.. if she'd lie/deceive him about something like this, what else would she lie/deceive him about?. He spent the whole marriage catering to her & her needs, loving her when she didn't love him at all.. she couldn't give two fucks about him.. the contempt, selfishness and disrespect wasn't new.. he just glossed over it🙄... it has always been what SHE wanted.. what he wanted has NEVER mattered to her. This was a very one sided marriage, he was just too stupid to see it.. he wasted 24yrs on her and took his life.. I don't understand why money( paying her) was so important if he divorced her, which is the reason nwhy he decided killing himself would be better than paying her.... when she STILL ended up getting 99% of the assets in his death?. His math wasn't mathing.. he didn't make a lick of sense.. 2 yrs paying alimony vs death by suicide.. the stupid wimp cuck chosed death..the saddest part is, he can't even move on in death... he's still there with her.... this is truly sad...
Nicely written. Life as a paraplegic. And still it takes 25 years to come to a conclusion as to the worth of that weekend. Fuck her, I hope Terry continues the nightly torment.
Another wonderful tale by the Old Saddletramp! While I quickly lose interest and often bail on the stories that go off into the metaphysical verse, this one cleverly kept it in a space where the phenomena could easily be within the MC’s own mind so I was happy to read through to the end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent writing, don't see how it could be any better. Worth more then 5 stars. One of the few times I have seen an ending with closure that fit the story. The impact to her sister is something I never saw coming.
A very sad and creepy story. It sucked she ended up with anything financial from his demise, but I guess you can only do so much on short notice. It's great to see something from Saddletramp again. He certainly can spin a story.
What a finish! This exceeded my expectations. By a mile. For a young guy, you're very perceptive. I've read these two installments with my wife of nearly 54 years, and she wholeheartedly agrees. It's truly sad to see what it took for Helen to finally admit the truth. Ten huge stars for this instant classic.
Brutal….but well deserved consequence for the bitch.
.
One thing that was never really explained/described was WHY the bitch ever married Terry in the first place…and WHY she bothered to stay married to him. That said….25 years in a wheelchair and she is only NOW figuring out that her behavior was unacceptable? Mr Tramp….your description of this woman has to be of one of Lit’s all time narcissistic creatures.
.
Only thing I didn’t like …. and it was something that you probably couldn’t change give the suicide of the original story … was that Terry seemed to living in his own Hell even as he put Helen thru hers.
.
4 ****
Very nicely done. I would give it more than 5 stars but that is all that I can give. I loved the hauntingly touch to the tale. It was a change from the basic BTB more of a subtle take. Thanks for the great stories, Keep em coming.
Just for future reference, the funeral home would be getting the death certificate and arranging for the certified copies, not the family. Enjoyed the story, though.
Wow! There is a lot of quality inloving wives again. Thanks saddletramp 1956. 5+
Can your carry this over to October for Halloween competitions?
I like to think that it's the little details that flesh out and give depth and substance to stories. The honey for the tea, taking care of business in the morning and the fact that mom's scrambled eggs were the best.
This is why I see writing as a craft. I also think this is why you are seen as a master weaver. I am looking forward to your next tapestry but not too eagarly. I wouldn't want to rush you.
Thank you for sharing your creative efforts.
Even better than "burning the bitch" is letting her do it to herself; turns out she DID have a consicence!
One hell of a ride on this story. I was hoping more for her family, friends, etc., to turn their backs on her- in varying degrees, leaving her to feel the very real world of hurt. But ST didn't see it that way in the main.
The author seems to be in an after-death & in the grave mode. I'm not sure I'm liking that, but at the same time in this story, I loved it. Go figure.
Helen was a self-centered cunt of a human, with little redeeming value. She didn't feel all that bad for her husband's death, just what it did to her. Her admission at the end of the story that it wasn't worth what happened, in my view, was more to how her life ended, needing to resign her job, than losing her husband.
>> This story was a tour de force of writing; 5 stars Bob
A solid four stars story. Diligent proofreading would likely have made it five stars. The Bledsie/Wilson thing was the most egregious.
JPB NOT BOB
Your females are usually cartoon characters but not this time. Helen was interesting and developed extremely well. She felt like she could be a real person.
Terry though was flat. I understand that he was a ghost but every interaction with him was repetitive and didnt really add to the story other than making Helen tired. I DO like the haunting plot, i just think you could have easily fit this into one chapter. I think that would have eliminated the the feeling of repetition.
It was different though, so you still get 5 stars (your editor should have picked up those name swapping issues on page 3)
