That's so wrong and yet so funny too. Very well written. You had me all the way. I did not see your magnificent twist coming. It makes me wonder if there really are people out there who do that. For some reason I think so.
Great story with a fantastic twist.

To the author of this amusing short story, "Valentine's Day Marketing". Lawyers are the scum of the earth. Ha! Good luck in the contest. Carole

I actually closed this document because the penny hadn't dropped and then I laughed out loud. Yeah, of course the divorce lawyer is preparing cards to send to potential client's partners, just to provoke a bit of jealousy, and by default, lawyer business. Why is that lawyers are the butt of so many jokes? Where there's smoke there's fire, I guess. A well spent sixty words. Good luck in the vote.

    Thanks. A guffaw is the goal of every writer. Either that or tears, but I digress...

A story told in 60 words takes some doing. You seem to have achieved this with a witty unexpected ending.

I would say that you have a good chance of winning this competition.

What evil people will do for money. In 60 words you presented the attributes of a character, the plot and the future dramatic outcome that is destine to occur. Great flash fiction story.

You don't need the comma after 'each', though I would suggest one after 'perfume'.

Amusing short story, though I find the ending a little unclear. How would HE in particular get the 'business'?

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

I enjoyed this one.

It was very amusing.
Should there be a comma after each? And I think envelope should be plural. hope this helps :)
