Three Times Cheat

Great

I love the little ironies of life.

Papatoad has started a school! You ought to tell folks that they can flesh out these stories or we are going to run out of plots!

3 unfinished stories

I think I would score you better if you had finish the stories. I would certainly enjoy seeing them completed.

Flash!

some people dont like it. some cant understand why. i like reading these flash stories. something to think about.

I generally dislike the format

but the first two were not bad. The saddest and best for me was where the husband had not opened the family portrait for 6 months. There was no no feeling of suspense or drama or something else missing that torpedoed the last story.
You are one of my favorite authors in this genre and I hope to see one of your regular length tales soon.

Flash stories

This is my first encounter with flash stories.
By the time I am getting into each story, it is over.
They tend to be clever, but not my thing.

Different but good

A refreshing change from the typical inner and outer lips and rubbing on the G spot. It reminds me of the time my ex-wife rumaged through my briefcase and found that damn letter....

neat style

Wonderfully different style. So much different than the usual on this site. These short storys tell the whole thing with no wasted words. Love them and please do more.

Three Beginnings

Three good beginnings. Zero middle parts. Zero Endings.

It's why I am not crazy about flash stories.

Interesting.

Each of these stories is a nice setup for a tale which could be spun into something full-length. Nice work.

Cute but belong in Readers Digest as jokes

They do only one thing, show how stupid people really are.

Thank You

You are an excellent writer. I have enjoyed your work, and comments. I look forward to further stories, no matter what the form. Don

Decent, however...........

Each story was well written and quite poingant, however, each lacked one thing.......Eroticism!

Well.....

big things come in small packets. It was well written. There was no need to worry about the consequences. Thanks for the wonderful story.

Generally rubbish

The only one that was vaguely credible was the second. The first and third were rubbish, making gigantic leaps to conclusions that didn't necessarily hold...and that would have been laughed out of court.

Fun!

I liked them. They were a bit of fun and someone always got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. It's probably not important what happens afterward because the cat's out of the bag... Thanks for the fun!

very good quick little stories

I liked all three stories. One thing that would make them a little longer is if you would put in a little down and dirty sex. Other than that I say well done.....Rich

Weak

The stories were alright as far as they went. Too short to even get a feel for the situation. Could be developed more. I know, they are short stories, but shortness is not always good.

THE STORIES WERE TOO SHORT BUT I GET THE JIST OF THEM

Do like your style

How nice to have an erotic tale without the super freak sized penis nor the blubbery overfed bazoombas.

Wow, THREE flash stories...

Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You.

Good flash with 5 stars.

Oh my God !

Are there really that many idiots out there?? Unbelievable!
1 star of course.

Three Up, Three Down

Interesting small stories. Keep it up.

2 out 3 for me

But the score was a 5 -

The first two had all the elements including the twist at the end - the first being the most poignant - the second a nice hard slap in the face -

The third was just predictable enough to be no surprise at all - but was still well done -

You do very nice work -

Enjoyed it

I feel like the second story was good enough to be developed into a larger work. Thanks.

heh...

...enough said.

Two poor efforts

But 'Resurrection' was good, and worthy of development into a longer format. It was an interesting and novel idea, which is a rarity here.

Short stories are like this...

Short stories are like this...If they are good they make us want they were longer and more complete. The first one (The Revealing Portrait) is one that is complete, so 4*. The second (Resurrection) is the best plot of the three but misses his reaction, so 3*. The 3rd (Coincidental? She Thought Not) for me is also complete, but with a weaker plot, so 3*.

THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF LUCK AND STUPIDITY

Comments

Had the husband not told the readers in the first story, the wife really did not have plausible reason to divorce her husband. 2 stars for that one. In story number two the wife most assuredly lied to her husband and was caught in her lies. Full marks for that one. In the third story, all information given were from Fred, who had zero tolerance for Judy's ex and was giving unsubstantiated facts. I felt Cora was looking for a reason to leave her 70-year-old husband, after a full lifetime together. What did she have to gain...unless it was Fred. With reluctance...2 stars. Averages out to be 3 stars.
