Wendy, this is a great entry for the Flash fiction contest. Although, it is different from your usual writing (mostly true incidents), it is very well written and a great surprise ending.

    Thank you, Anne! I am trying to be more imaginative, as you are right - most of my stories are based on truth.

This plan came back to haunt him. It is probably better on the whole not to mix work with leisure nor the people who go to make up those activities. Ones sines will find thee out!

I'm not sure I totally understand this one. I can't decide whether it's too convoluted for me, or whether it's me that's being obtuse. The parallel lines seem too close to each other for comfort. Kate xx

Great flash fiction for the contest, Wendy. The ending is a stunning twist to the story and quite unexpected. Please accept my virtual six since I'm out of real ones this late in the week. Well done.

I was smiling all through your "sad" story. I somehow knew it would have an ironic ending. I expected no better of him because he "unfortunately" was married. This should be a winner for sure!

Well, hmm, I guess karma has a play in this contest entry. Thank you for sharing this entry with us. I enjoyed reading and never expected the ending, but one just doesn't know. Good luck with the contest.

The objective correlative of your work reminisces John, the protagonist's access to a cogent alibi that could be used to front his wife's demise and open up a fresh dating with a prospective lover.

The work highlights his lunch date with his former work colleagues; his arousal of romantic feelings for one of his ex- female colleagues and how COVID-19 seems to pave the way for a sizzling love affair.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of anecdotes synonymous with infidelity.

Excellent work. Bravo.

Ouch. Alfred Hitchcock may be dead but his genes were passed on to some dame "down under' me thinks. This could be a script for "Columbo" or Perry Mason, or... Wendy G, it seems.

That's a good one, Wendy. I think we have love here, but it doesn't appear to be true love. It looks like God is pulling a fast one. You should do well in the contest.

Glad that it's totally fiction.
As I heard one time, 'It's a long road that don't turn back.'
Well done.
The Golden Rule in action. The only better resolution would be for the women to heal and 'him' get hit by a truck (or lorie if you prefer) smiley face here.
Best wishes.

    Thanks Wayne. Your review made me smile. You want justice for John, but he?s only made up in my mind ?. And yet, I wonder if such a thing has happened?
    Lol. Glad you enjoyed it.
