Haha! There are a couple like that in my family! I was expecting a little more revenge but that should keep her quiet for a while! Nicely done in your 50 words flash! Good luck! Debbie

    One of them is my 5 year old grandson who's a 'throw the board in the air' bad sport! The other is his father who's just plain smug!

    Neither seems like a great playmate.

An excellent entry for the 50 word flash fiction writing prompt. oh my, that got dark quickly! He definitely is a poor sport and he needs a therapist and a anger management program. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and the feedback. I think the needed more than an anger management program. Some people just can't stand to lose. I won't mention anyone in particular.

I know from my experience of playing chess online that some people cannot bear to lose (or even accept a draw.) I suppose I am lucky they cannot carry their dissatisfaction further.

This story, Poor Sport, has the required word count and has the male character proving to his dead girlfriend who has a queen in her mouth and who will spend forever in prison.

Excellent, it sounds like someone needs anger management courses, though he will get plenty of practice playing chess inside the big house, very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Whoa! Gives new meaning to poor sport! John needed a few anger management classes before he played chess with April. Good luck with the contest!

This is good but you do have an issue, you have made it exactly 50 words but you have a word missing. John took her queen and shoved in her mouth, It need to be shoved it in here. I am sure there is an easy fix. Good luck.
