LOL... I can see why they had a fight! She didn't want mother-in-law to come visit! LOL Good story with good characters and the dialogue seems real.

Your story held my interest and kept me reading. The end was funny and with an abrupt change from oh no a break up to mom can come. Thank you for sharing.

Had a good laugh with this one. A mamma's boy for sure. She must live down the road or she picked him up down the road. They both probably wanted to frighten the heck out of her. Lot's of fun reading this one.

Short word count, specific words to be used and you still managed to write a story. These contests are always tough, but this should do well. Bill

Mom can come to visit - capitalize Mom as it's used as her name in this sentence
What a funny ending - I never suspected their argument had been about that! LOL
You've stayed within the strict word limits and you've used the required words well in this amusing story with its surprise ending. Good luck in the contest :-) Brooke

Author,
your flash fiction story is smartly written with very good descriptive writing. In 202 words you've effectively managed to create a setting, conflict, and a resolve to your story. Your story is excellent and a real contender in the 200 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt. As I read your story came to life in my head as i read. You did a mighty fine job using the requires words in an entertaining story. We learn Maria's new husband, Mark, is missing. The art work you used is perfect. I loved the humor at the ending. I wish you good luck in the contest. Keep on writing excellent flash fiction and have a wonderful day. I'd recommend this story with other reviewers too.
Missy.

Impressive. You covered all the bases in the first para, and none of felt contrived. You then build the tension, and finally let us off the hook with a giggle!
Loved it. Cheers - DJ

This is good flash fiction, well written, with a good twist at the end. This would definitely be a conflict in some marriages. Good luck in the contest.
