Very creative and a nice twist for the contest. Wish I had read it while the voting was still open!!!! The characters are well-defined and the scenes are clearly outlined. Meets all contest parameters and is well-written in every aspect. ann

Sure. That believable. It's Alabama where flirtatious advances flow with the women there as ice does on the Rhine in winter. ............................................................

Comment from giraffmang
Wouldn't it be a crying shame if the woman was desperately abused by her husband and this as her one shot at true happiness... lol
Nah, this was a well written piece but I do think the narrator is a bit of an arse as his revenge was against women in general rather than the specific one.
All the best

Comment from Ann M
Good topic for a flash fiction ....thought you did a great job. Wasn't sure where it was going until the paragraph about the wife... Loved the text.
I think you said this was a contest ...so good luck!

Thank you for reading, the mystery writer.
Comment from Marienkiefer
This is a terribly charming story. Terrible it played out that way, but charming for the authors-s voice, story and resolution.
I seriously thought I could predict what the ending would be but it turned out differently.
My favourite line in the story: Not any one line. There were many great lines in the story. Great conceptualization and flow, threaded with nice bits of humour.
Very enjoyable read.

Comment from leather
My mind must be on holiday because I couldn't keep all the calls, blocks, redials, etc. straight. The explanations below the text box, regrettably, didn't help much. I know you tried to clear things up, and I appreciate that, but it didn't help me.
Good effort and no spelling mistakes.
Best wishes.

Sorry my writing was so bad and confusing.

Now...wait a minute. I didn't say your writing was bad--it was just more complicated than my brain could follow.
I think you still have time if you want to change or add anything and are still in edit mode.
I am constantly rewriting things--it's part of writing.
Take care--be positive.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Ha! Ouch! Well, he made a choice, didn't he... Had he called, the woman would have known he wasn't Dudley, so I guess texting her was his way of getting back at his wife... But SHE wasn't his wife, so I hope he knows he had no business impersonating Dudley. (LOL)
Very amusing, and well done.

Comment from lyenochka
Lol! This was brilliant! I felt bad for the narrator having to deal with this woman continuing to send messages to the wrong number. Maybe Dudley changed numbers? The ending text was perfect!
Best wishes in the contest!
