Well, that caught me completely off guard as I am sure was your intention! This is an excellent entry for the 100 Word Flash Fiction contest. It's not easy to get a reader invested in a story with just 100 words. Very well done. I wish I had a 6th star left to give it.

Another vivid lesson on why you shouldn't drink when you are agitated and depressed. Bad combination leading to potentially disastrous results as it did in your tragic flash story. Great job with a great ending, Thesis. - Jim

Wow, great story! Good flash fiction might be the hardest type of stories to write for even the best writers. But you've made it look easy with this smooth flowing post. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a six.

That is such a tragic story, and I enjoyed listening to it. It's amazing the things that we will do when we are in a drink dragon state. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. Also, wish you the best in this contest. Patricia .

An intriguing first sentence hook that makes one ponder why "Travis Whitley was having a breakdown."
Seeing one's wife "passionately kissing another man" would be more than enough for anger to swell and emotions to be overridden.
Things are not always as they appear though. Are they?
What a surprising twisted ending like well written Flash should contain.
Alcohol can definitely destroy the senses and cause a person to do uncontrolled acts, especially in the heat of the moment.
Hand-counted 100 words so meets that stated requirement of the contest.

Oops! I wonder how much his wife will love him now.
I saw a twist coming, but I didn't guess it - a twin, tricky. And the judges like tricky, so you should do well in this contest.
I love flash fiction - there's always a challenge to telling a whole story in few words.
Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Oh boy. I thought this was excellent. I did not see that ending coming. I thought you did a great job in sharing a rather complex story with only 100 words. Great job!
