All Comments on 'The Firefighter's Widow'

Very meh. Try again.

her recognition of her vile act was superb!

Well, I liked it.

she'll never be any place where she will see him again. They don't have on duty firemen there. Hat's off to firemen everywhere and there's not a one of them that I know that wouldn't have done the same thing.

Good story thanks for sharing your talent.

Women that are willing to kill and die for their husbands are also willing to live and confront their husbands about lies their coworkers are telling her. Weak, cowardly women react to the lies by assuming the worst, they take advantage of the situation to cheat and even when they find out the truth, they simply blame the others for being duped and slink away. 5 for delivering something more than the usual.

This retired fire chief appreciated the authenticity and intrigue captured in just 2 pages.

Very well written story. This could easily happen in real life as there r people out there that think life screws them over and have to fight back.like the story said they never take the blame for what they have done. Keep writing

5 Stars from me.

I had to fight back tears when the little girl and her family came into the room.

And then when those to assholes came in, so cold.

Wow what a heart wrenching story. Damn misty eyed over here

Judogeezer went to a whole new level with this story. The technical aspects and terminology were used to bullseye dramatic effect as previously noted by Upupa_epopa. In terms of the human angle things went too telanova with clichéd zero shades of grey, rogue fellow firemen and over the moon repentant widow who went lethal with her grief.

Of course there's been hopefully very few badseed affairs in firemen's domiciles.But the no regrets and even glee in their compatriots death was too dastardly for belief. Even Judas threw away the 30 silver coins paid post crucifixion. Overall I give plaudits to the author for the seamless and exciting way he had me in vantage point of firemen.

Joseph Wambaugh was a best selling author examining in full the lives of police on and off duty. I'd be surprised of Judogeezer doesn't have some more rich stories about these firemen in his literary trickbag.

i really enjoyed the story .. very touching .. but i cannot understand the twist ..

"You know Foster, you're not only pathetic, you're stupid too. Do you think that's the only copy? By the way, I came prepared for this. My detective found out about those two domestic battery arrests down in Tennessee."

"This is transmitting everything that's said in this room to a recording device located in the detective's car out in the parking lot. Just for the record, detective Thomas is totally unaware of my intention to confront these ass holes."

so she had both of them by the balls .. so why shoot .. why not let them pay the price of it and suffer for it in the right way

Remarkable story that let us speechless...No more words needed...One of my few 5*

"Just for the record, detective Thomas is totally unaware of my intention to confront these ass holes." - This confused me at first, as I thought she was talking to the creeps, then I realized that she was clearing the detective from any accessory charges.

Good surprise at the end. That sealed it for me. She killed the two assholes and herself. She has been redeemed.

to die just like her husband did.

Ruthless and vivid, gripping and dramatic. Tough love.

4 dead, 2 scum bags. All unnecessary.

This was just depressing. I think it was a waste and unnecessary.

How do you deal with this? A good man died heroically, two jealous assholes were murdered by a wife who was deceived by the assholes into cheating and then took her own life. So glad it's fiction.

No Rating. How can you?

Loved the details and situations that only a real firefighter would know. Going from tailboard to white shirt is tough on everyone! Old saying: If you want to keep your girlfriend or wife, don't take her to the firehouse.

It`s good to read a story like that on literotica "loving wives" than that crap some so-called authors publicize!!!!

Covered with pathos

While it is true that some younger firemen are hunks, judging by the numerous firehalls I have visited as a reporter, by the end of 5 years on the job not one of them are calendar material. Sad but once the probationary period has ended few of them continue to work out.

Joke around here is that the paramedic team that leaves with the fire engines on call is there for the firemen in case of heart attack

Exceptions being the female firefighterds

Good story, great ending. Love to see the bad guys get what they deserve.

Great story until the end! Have to disagree with the last anonymous...one of my sons is a 34 year old fire captain at a class A/1 station and is still (so others say) described as a 6'3" blue eyed blonde 200 lb. hunk definitely worthy of a calendar picture are some of his fellow fire fighters.

Betrayal is painful, but betrayal by people who should always have your six just makes it unbearable........ Very emotional story, twenty two years as an army officer where this was all too common......

Great story! Keep writing. This one caused my screen to get very blurry.

So much pain & regrets. Excellent!!!

As if a faithless whore would kill herself.

(paid) who started ripped stayed ripped into their 40's, fighting Father Time every step of the way. Enough time between training to stay in shape, and a whole lot of motivation to do so, i.e. wanting to live.

As for the story, ultimately she sought redemption, and in a twisted way she found it.

5 stars.

Are about comments. Seems like toes were stepped on regarding physical condition of firefighters. While taking nothing away from importance or danger of that job, firefighters are no different than rest of population. Take construction workers...I have known a few who, while in mid-50s are calendar material...butmost are not. Maybe ten per cent of population has drive to stay in shape regardless of occupation. Take a look at most professional athletes-once playing days are over!

Thanks for the offering.

SORRY BUT I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK RIGHT NOW, LET ALONE COMMENT EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT IS,,,, JUST A STORY!

AGAIN, PURE GENIUS! WOW

This is the end of the story. Where is the lead up to her being seduced?

Much more plausible that Greater Love

Though I feel the murder-suicide at the end was over the top.

He died a hero. She redeemed herself by killing the 2 bastards and regained

Her Honor by pistol. Excellent Story. Thanks.

Thought occurred to me that an act is only revenge if the original party is made aware that what is being done is revenge . Outside of that, her actions were just cheating as far as the husband would be concerned.

Also, don't you think that the wife wouldn't have confronted the woman firefighter? How was the woman photographed having sex with someone, with that picture making its way into the hands of Foster or Chen then later doctored with Roy's face and body in it?

The evocation of natural things, still life, and everything else rang true as a bell. Conversation was very effective and expertly rendered. Human feeling permeated the story in just the right tone and tenor.

Someone said the suicide was over the top. This reader definitely disagrees. The cheating wife, though she may have been ensnared, realized the epic dishonor and insult that she brought upon her marriage and into her fine husband's life. She contemplated death every day as the wife of a first responder. She knew what she had to do.

Take note authors, scribblers and assorted pikers with pen in hand: this is a fine writer in our midst.

Bravo, Sir.

...again.

I hope the two firefighters live to pay for their crimes and their betrayal.

Judogeezer

Hats off to you for packing such a lot of drama, emotion and content in relatively few words. But you used them skillfully. I couldn't help but be taken along for the ride. An excellent piece of writing. Looking forward to more contributions! Cheers!

6*, you are so very close to becoming another "Master-of-the-Quill". You keep writing these and you will be at qhml1/dtiverson/sw-mo-hermit/malraux/TTT/Longhorn level. Hooyah Salute!

You write some depressing, but oh so good stories. Give us a happy ending sometime.

Finest Caliber.

Roy would have forgiven her. He would not have wanted her to die or kill those idiots.

I thoroughly enjoy your style.

she'll never see him again. He'll be in a better place and she'll be in her natural habitat, you know HELL!

She could never make it right, but she did make it even.

but really good. 5*

Again. This.but writes great stories, but they're damn sad.

I thought this was headed in a completely different direction and then she redeems herself. Very good.

I imagine every one of us, who put our lives on the line every day, would really appreciate someone watching our back, supporting us when we need them the most. In my case, I trashed that person plus paid the price for more than 40 years and it will be with me until the end. You never really appreciate what you had until it is lost.

Incredible story!

Damn, what a fantastic story!

Great story, but very sad.

Dude... this is the second fucking stories I've read of yours where the husbands end up dead due to a slut wife... why do you keep killing off the husbands?..... are you a woman 🧐🧐... I don't even like when the slut wife's die. I absolutely hate when the hurt, cheated on husband dies.. so he went to his grave never knowing he was married to a gutter snipe?.. that seems wrong to me.. I don't care about the wife killing herself... good riddance... I don't care about her killing her lovers. All I care about is the poor cuck being stuck in eternity with the slut 😔 😭😭😭😭😭... that seem equally fuck'd up to me... she's was cheating on him with 2 guys. Guys he worked with. Why was she so.easily convinced he was cheating? That whole they were his friends, she never dreamed they'd lie and set her up... it would've taken her less than 5 minutes to talk to her husband. Tell him everything they told her. I just don't get if she "loved" her her cuck so much. Why didn't she talk to him? Why was she fucking 2 of'em🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤭🤭... she just sounded like your typical dumpster variety slut out here, to be honest🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️... they ALWAYS finally remember they love their husband, want to stay their wife and all a whole bunch of nonsense they should've been knew since they said "I do" .... its usually when it's too little too late..

Powerful and believable, Loved it. No Martian Slut Ray here. Just very real humans. Thank you so much.

5 Stars on this one . I hope that everyone knew how she was set up by 2 Of her husbands friends ?

Dark story. Bit surprised for a woman who worked out the setup and how she had been played that she didn't confront her husband about his alleged affair. Juat freaking ask. And I guess she had revenge sex first with the two assholes before acquiring a PI. Huh? Wouldn't that be the first step? So she seems calm, collected, and hellbent on revenge after her husband's death, and maybe leading up tomit when she was going to confess (her mistake, they may have had a chance to reconcile and her husband woukd be alive), but the that her IQ dropped 50 points and she did the dumbest thing possible. Ick.

5 *****

Just wow. Could be expanded but what would be the point.

Amazing story! Loved it. Heartfelt and powerful. Thank you.

Good story, well told KUDOS!

Justice. Shame she killed herself, would of been better for her to live a long lonely life filled with shame, guilt and pain.

100% agree with Rimmerdal, in this case more is not necessarily better. Very good story. Well written, well told. Thanks, Judogeezer.

5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The comment section has SD energy that measures an inch. God you losers.

This was awesome Judo. I felt the pain. Thats not easy. I know you won't read this but if by some chance you do, I want you to know how much someone who isn't a douchbag appreciates your work.

Another gripping and well-told tale from you. I wish you were still posting.

Dark and well written story. Surprised that the she hired a PI after her revenge double f@ck, instead of doing so before. Odd because she seemed smart and level headed. Suppose that she was irrational and distraught, thinking Roy had cheated. Still her terrible choice to strike first without any consideration or verification got her wonderful husband killed. Given her intense grief and self loathing, not sure it could have ended up any differently. 5 stars. But man thse stories hurt to read. Eep.

Outstanding!!! You're really good

5*****

It doesn't get much better than this. Short story, but said it all. 5 stars from Xluckylee

This one brought some tears to my eyes, the first part, not the second part just to be clear. I did 16 years in the fire service and there were a bunch of times when I rolled up on a fire scene before the engines got there. Standing around in bunker gear and not being able to do anything except size up the scene was frustrating to say the least. Luckily I never had to make a rescue like Roy did. The rest of the story was okay but only served to detract for an already great story. Still gets a five for all the right stuff in the story.
