Oh my, this is a little gem buried here in the underbrush. Venerable Bede! Passive Aggressive! (or passion aggression?) Clever, well paced, authentic.
except from the narrator's perspective!
I loved the little vignettes as the night passes (sometimes only a few minutes apart) and the narrator's opinions become more and more centered on her quest to shut him up so she can sleep, too. There were a lot of funny parts, but the idea of kidnapping the person who gave the quote and letting them see the error of their ways and her ultimate revenge were my favorites.
Keep up the great work! 5*
So, I feel for this story, even if it feels overlong. I guess, like a long sleepless night.
My girlfriend, on the other hand, thinks it is freaking hilarious, and I hope you didn't give her ideas. Now, I will have to go to sleep with a towel, and well as a fresh pair of shorts . Along with my bruised ribs.
Very funny. I forwarded this story to my poor long suffering wife, for whom I finally, after thirty-five years of snoring moved myself to the guest room to sleep. I get it now.
Cringeworthy for me. I can't help but wonder now if she stood over me at three in the a.m. with a makeshift shiv, conjuring up the courage to put me out of her misery.
Funny but embarrassing at the same time. Like Brad laying in a puddle of his ersatz piss.
Well done story.
Good job.
Thanks for this light and humorous break in the day. Very enjoyable.
A marvelous laugh-out-loud story.
If she ever again graces his bed, she should strap a CPAP on him (after he's slaked his thirst at her <i>Fons Veneris</i>, of course).
Eager-to-please. The world is full of them. Sometimes referred to as Sycophants. Great story. Thanks for the laugh.
How is this scored this low. Hard to read when the Kindle is jumping from the laughter
Funny - scary part is there are a lot of "hers" out there like that...LOL 5*
Wickedly funny. Glad you didn't write so she sharpened the toothbrush into a shiv...
One further thought. The Old West outlaw John Wesley Hardin is said to have shot through a hotel wall and killed a man in the next room for snoring, so... there's precedent, sort of.
Holy fuck, you captured my wife's sleeping habits. She sleeps like the dead and Iie awake snd suffer. I pray for the abyss often ...
When it's written down in front of me, it's funny, and I can pretend that I have never suffered a night like this one where murder becomes a favourite obsession. Or that I make those noises now that I'm old.
Excellent.
NoTalentHack recommended this story as a palate cleanser after his latest post. His talent as a writer is nearly as good as his appreciation for fine satire. This author is breath of fresh aire. Many deep belly laughs and almost constant giggles were the result of the quick, easy read. I will check out this authors other works.
That's one of the most worthwhile things I've read on this site for a while. Thank you for the great laughs :)
Another person here due to NoTalentHack's recommendation and he's right, this was hilarious. I almost want my wife to read it... but she might get ideas when I snore.
Oh, the sorrows of young love! Ha Ha Ha Thanks for this side splitter! 5 stars
Got a couple giggles out of that also. Don't remember either of my two wives snoring and they never complained to me, so who knows? Maybe they were just being polite.
Much as I like your idea here, for me it just missed being good, maybe it’s a sense of humour thing, the difference between us, after all that’s what makes the world go round as they say.
Not sure I would be the complainant or the defendant in the upcoming assault case but damn, this my friend strikes me as funny as hell! Guess I'm some kind of weirdo ........
Hilarious. The seven stages of grief, err sorry, laying next to a loud snorer. Hehe.
Why do we love to laugh at the miseries of others??? Even those we love. One of life's unexplained mysteries. I echo the previous commenters, this is really funny!
