“Oh—my—GOD!”
“What?”
“Says here Michael McClusky married Susie Penny.”
“I heard that. It’s strange how he found her, asked her to dinner and tied the knot lickety-split.”
“It’s forty-five years since he cheated on her and had to get married, right?”
“Something like that. What happened to the shotgun wife?” Barb asked.
“Divorced after twenty years and three kids. Didn’t need a shotgun neither; she lied to him and her daddy.” Mary stared at her sister, eyes bulging.
“Susie was broken-hearted for years afterwards. I can’t believe she forgave him.” Barb scratched her nose and squinted at the newspaper.
“I don’t know; he’s dead now.”
“What?”
“Yep, a week after the wedding.”
“Was it natural?” the sisters squealed together.
You are funny! I was all ready for this shattered dreams to happily ever after. Wrong!
Good one Tess, you got me ~ BB
Glad I got you. I was surprised when it came out this way. Freak accident or Karma (as someone mentioned earlier)? I LIKE Karma. Thank you BB.
Hehehe – karma’s gonna get you
Karma. Love it. Does it really work, I wonder? Thank you, Optie for the finger. LOVE it, especially in this case.
Revenge of a woman scorned
Or maybe just the Universe, righting a wrong – good story Tess
Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. I LIKE payback even in fairytales. Thanks Ghia.
Yay go Susie hahaha!
Hope Susie doesn’t get caught. I won’t tell . . .
hope he had a $1m policy. Revenge they say is best served cold. Great one Tess.
Hmmm. I hadn’t thought about that. I’ll have to remember that detail for another time. Thanks for the input, Valentine.
You’re over here having too much fun. That was funny. I can see these two mature women so clearly.
It’s not Toys ARE us but Toys OR us. Ha ha. I had fun–wouldn’t do ANYthing otherwise. Thank you for thinking I’m having too much fun. Glad you can see the women. I guess age does stand for SOMEthing. Ha ha.
Talk about best served cold!
Btw. If you add more than 12 tags, posts don’t show up in the topic reader, only in the “blogs I follow”.
Yes, cold is best.
I had NO idea about the tags. Of course I have no idea about a lot of things. Thank’s for mentioning. I’ve lots to learn. I appreciate your help, Delft.
Ooh, chilling! I like little dialogue driven pieces like that.
Sometimes, these dialogue driven pieces not only fall together, they seem to jump at it–sometimes. Thank you, Vanessa. I appreciate your support. Depending how life is around me, I DO enjoy these short story-ettes.
You made me smile with this, Tess. Funny and a bit wicked. A great combination.
You make ME smile, Len. Thank YOU. You are most kind.
Awesome! I am so glad to see you join. Send me an email so I get the right server. I have to get a couple details from you for the book.

I’m trying to stretch / challenge myself. I hope I don’t stretch too hard, I might burst like a water balloon. You hear that sound? Pthrrrrrrrrrrr. . .twap (it’s a REAL word. I MADE it real darn it. All you need to do is LISTEN.
I’m pleased to join in and looking forward to more of the same. Glad you’re back. Hope you’re in the PINK.
A very mysterious story! Are these people real?
Do you want them to be?
That’s a really awesome short short micro short story. I usually don’t like those, but this one really works for me. Again, awesome. You should submit it somewhere.
Rebecca, you have made my day! Thank you!
I don’t know that I CAN submit anywhere else now that’s it’s been published on the blogosphere. . . Do you know anything about this? I’ve always understood blogging is publishing.
Such dinner table conversation, my my! Sounds like someone is gittin’ back at someone else! Great short piece, Tess!
Lol!
Hi, Angie. thank you.
