This is a great story. I can see why you won first prize in the contest. The only inconsistency I see is that she told him they couldn't make love because... and later they did anyway. Well done. No witnesses. Congratulations on your win. Marilyn

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This meets the contest requirements splendidly with the appropriate opening line. Great story from start to finish. The only winner in this one was the killer. All the best in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Brigitte Elko
This was an entertaining story for the contest "Did You Hear That?" The trials of a waning relationship is told in a way that many a reader could relate to it. I like the twist at the end of the story. It may be fiction but could very well be a true story.
One error you may wish to edit is : set up the tent instead of sat up the tent.
Well done and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
Shades of Alfred Hitchcock, FB. This story had a great believability factor, nice character development, and a boffo conclusion that leaves us wondering if they put their campfire out properly. Neat story.

Comment from humpwhistle
Ah, the couple that conspires to kill one another . . .
A nice little twist at the end. Of all the hit-men in the Yellow Pages, these two had to pick the same one. I do love irony.
I made a few comments as I read.
Peace, Lee
Just then he slid on a wet part of the rock, to the rock Shelly...--this bit is a little confusing, I think.
When the second bottle of wine,(no comma) was opened they were...
This time(,) James quickly threw on a pair of sweats

LOL!! That was sooooo good, JoAnn! The twist at the end was fabulous, they were both paying the same man to kill the other off! I could see that happening too. This is just like one of those 'Tales of the Unexpected' that we used to watch way, way back. I think you have a strong entry here, my friend. Well done and good luck! :) Sandra xxx

Hi there,
I enjoyed this piece. Nice little double crossing on both parts. poor old James...lol
but she thought to herself, 'I'll show him." - it's generally a good idea to differentiate between thought and dialogue by using a different format. At present you use the double marks for both. if you are using the tag of 'thought' then you probably don't need the marks. Alternatively you could use the single marks or italics.
The moon was about half full so there was light among the shadows.- this is little of stating the obvious as without light there would be no shadows...
She lay down on the one inch thick pad, and felt a couple of rocks underneath. She pulled them out and threw them hard against the ground - this threw me a little as most tents these days have ground sheets, many sewn in.
Meanwhile, he sat up the tent - set up.
I's fun, come on up." - It's.
When the second bottle of wine, was opened - unnecessary comma here.
Shit, why did you have to do it. - probably need a question mark in here.

An excellent tale, and definitely a surprise ending! I enjoyed reading it, and I certainly never expected the ending! Unlike you, I didn't write anything longer than a postcard until I was 55, but I am certainly enjoying doing so now, as well as reading tales such as yours!
