Oh my God! That's so funny!! I think it's human nature to ask what if. I did that a lot, until I met my husband. It was a second marriage fir us both. I think meeting the person you'll spend forever with, helps if you're both already fully cooked. That's my way of explaining maturity. Thought provoking writing!

Best wishes,

Alex

I gasped when I read the last line! He would rather rot in prison for 20 years than stay married to the girl he had a shotgun wedding with. What a powerful ending, and it puts a twist right at the end as to why he was drinking himself into oblivion. This is a thriller with a twist. I enjoyed reading this very much and think this one is a winner.

I really felt the tension in your story. Especially with how you set the scene with Audrey waking up and finding Gerald. The way you describe the situation with the shotgun - it's powerful. I love how your writing makes me feel the emotions of the characters so deeply. Keep up the great work - your storytelling is terrific!

    Hi Michael

    Thank you for your kind and inspiring review. The tension in the story was meaningful to you and the scene with Audrey and Gerald — both of those things make me glad. The fact that you pointed out that characters emotions were done well too is really very nice of you, that's always what I wish to obtain, the reader feeling like they are a part of the story. Your kind words about my storytelling truly put a fire under my abdomen to get writing again. Thanks for taking the time to comment, this is exactly the kind of feedback I need to continue! 😊

    Kind regards
