Cutest re-written origin story ever. So much better than the one on the original tv show. Yours makes the ladies kick-a** from the word go. A trip down tv memory lane that is both fun and action-packed. Good job.

Very clever. The Charlie's angels twist at the end was really well done. Thought the mixture of violence and 70's references was very amusing. Great work with this piece.

Wonderful! You get my vote. This was the most inventive story, told Charlie's Angels style. I could see the action and hear the accompanied music played during the action scenes. Great job!

Yes, plenty of violence - but a very clever story. You wrote it well, building up the drama. Keeping some elements of mystery throughout. Did the girls know who Charlie was, or the contents of his briefcase? What were these contents? We'll never know!

I like this, memories, good writing. One problem I do not think that Charlie ever met the Angels. He was just an autonomous voice that gave orders and direction to Bosley.

    Thank you for the great review and stars, Rikki. Yeah, I know he never actually met the girls but this contest needed to be about Charlie so I just went this route with it. Lol.

Gory, but well written, Mystery Author. I like the way it follows what many remember of the tv show. You did a great job, even with the violence--yes you warned readers. Everything fits with the focus of what Charlie's Angels did on the show though maybe not so violent. But you created a great work from your mind.
Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

    Lol. Yes, I know I went a little overboard with the violence. I never saw them go this crazy on the TV show. Haha I really appreciate the fantastic review and rating, Jan.

Cute write-it took me a bit to realize where this was going but you did a good job with it. It is a good write for the short story writing prompt. All the best to you.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Mr. Townsend...LOL! The pic of the speaker box really sent me back. I watched quite a bit of this show when it first started. I could clearly see all three of them kicking butt in this rail car. You did quite a bit with 300 words and it flows well. Great little story with some action and a cool ending. This has my vote. Well done. Lynda

    Thank you so much for the great review and big sixer, Lynda. I was wondering if anyone was going to catch where I was going just from the title. Lol. I couldn't believe how many pictures of this speaker box I found online. Yes, it took a lot of editing to finally fit most of the action in there in just 300 words. I would have liked a lot more but what can you do? Haha. I really appreciate the gracious rating and review, L. I'm glad you liked my take on the contest. I hope you have a great weekend and thank you again.

This three-hundred-word story, Mr. Townsend, gives the readers an exciting origin story for the trio of agents who we know as Charlie's Angels. Fun stuff.
