Hello Karen,
well, I see that having a relationship with you could prove to be dangerous. Your mind seems to work overtime in thoughtful ways to eradicate persons of the opposite sex. This was funny gal. Well done.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Yes, something seems to tell me what there are a few people you'd like to get rid of, since you always write about it. LOL. I don't want to kill anyone, but I'd like to torture a few. Thanks for sharing.

    I will not illegally kill anyone. But if looks or words would kill there would be piles. :-)

So you have successfully disposed one more hateful person in your imagination! Very hard hitting flash fiction. Problem solved and money received.. all the best for the contest..

I'm thinking that one reason that you haven't been hauled into prison for manslaughter is A) Because you are SO clever you haven't been caught (yet) or B) Writing off these men is a great therapeutic catharsis and keeps you from doing the "real" deed.

I'm going with "B" -- It's much funnier that way!

    I whack them with zeal. I can torture them. I have simply oodles of ideas all legal on the page.
    In real life,unless it was life or death of another, I don't think I could. On that light note, I have a contest for who writes the best birthday card for me. Two stanzas or more, In the limerick style, meter is not required like:

    I made a cake just for her,
    And boy did it create quite the stir
    it was 7ft tall
    and that was not all
    The man inside wore a loincloth of fur

    Anything you like Pretty Please

    Oh! Wow.

    I don't do contests, normally...

    No promises, but I'll try to channel the muse!

    I haven't celebrated a birthday in years. All my family had moved away and my husband pretended I didn't exist. This is a big deal for me. I am soooo ecited like a kid at Christmas.
    I am not going to politely fold the paper, I am going to rip that stuff apart!!!!! Like I am seven. :-)

Your stories she to be a little heavy on knocking off the lazy idiots. You do a really good job of turning a simple situation into something amusing and rather unforgettable.

    Well, I am a tiny bit ashamed to admit that I truly enjoy legally killing off menfolk. I could spend all day listing adjectives describing my negative reactions to men. I have loved some, I have admired some. But as a group, not so much. Off soap box now. I don't drink coffee. I love the smell though. My husbands all said I made great coffee. They all drank it black. My form of caffeine is Cherry Coke Zero. I need it first thing in the morning. They tried to de-caf coke. That was as popular as a turd on top of of a chocolate cake. We need our fix. Thanks for the read and sweet comments. And, remember you are never lost, because no matter where you go, there you are. Food for thought. :-)

Well this fitted neatly into the 75 word flash! Another day, another killing. Well, no, he did it to himself. And he obviously deserved it! Well done on this clearly expressed little story that can't help but leave the reader with a smile on their face. Good luck! Debbie

That sounds like a booby trap. I don't know if any lawyer could get the narrator out of this one. Still now sure who the "he" is. Maybe not the maintenance dude.
Best wishes in the contest!

    her ner' do well husband. She told him many times in front of people that it had to be fixed or one of them would be electrocuted one day. If the story were more than 75 words you would know that. karen

"It was shocking!" Baby, it always is.
"He shoulda listened" But you're so boringly nagging. Don't blame him.
"I left the cooler on top of the dryer and ran it." Which 'it', the cooler or the dryer? Yes, there are electric coolers, if you must know.
But why was he a 'bad boy'? Yes, you've told him about your electrical issues, but YOU put the running cooler/dryer on--YOU! That insurance company should investigate--long and hard!
Mom's the word, if you cut me in.
Good luck in the contest!

    You were talking about long and hard and I got distracted. I know there are electric coolers Mr. Smarty pants I have one. It was given to me, and it plugs into the car! Kinda nifty. I can cry on cue, bring on the investigaters, I will be so slow and decrepit they will offer to pay me twice! No money for you. But you can send me your wife's email and I can give her some tips on how to get rid of a nasty stain....... Karen

So you left the cooler in a place where you knew he would go and would ultimately get zapped? Who's the bad one here?

You seem to write about men who meet their maker while with you. Get many dates, Karen, lol?

I hope your damsel in distress got a big settlement from the insurance company:-)

xo
Pam

P.S. Good luck in the contest.

    I am a lady so I pick on the men the most. I haven't good luck with them. I don't like many anymore. They still hit on me even in my current decrepit state. Which just proves they are insane.
    Killing off men helps me tamp down my pain, and I do it legally. When I wrote Lorelein It lasted several days. And by the way, in "The Elevator" I killed off a woman! :-)

Such a sad story! Next time try for more humor! ONLY KIDDING!!! This was an unusual and worthy candidate for the 75 word contest. Nice to read your writing again!
