Very interesting flash. It looks like he did hold a grudge, and got even.

Last week. Unjust accusations. His arrest. Mistaken identity. Too proud to apologize.
- if this part are her thoughts. You may want to personalize it. Perhaps I was too proud.

    I see where you are coming from with your suggestions and I thank you. In my thoughts, I imagine her remembering the moments and what happened and not really having remorse until it was too late. Appreciate the review and suggestions as always.

    Smiles, Carol

That was brilliant, Carole, it was a true Carole teaser!! It's so nice to have you posting again, I've missed your stories. This will do well in the contest, it can't fail, it's incredible! I'm sure there are many men who have been a victim of mistaken identity, but more that haven't. It's hard for anyone to be wrongly covicted. This highlights that fact, too. Well done and good luck in the contest. Love and hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

    Thanks, my friend. I was told I am walking the dark side too much of late, and I suppose they are right. But...at least I am writing so I guess it's baby steps for now till I find myself again. Better to put my dark side on paper than to live it.

    Thank you for the kind thoughts and best wishes.

    I totally disagree with that. I think the more you can put down in writing, the more you are purging yourself of the nightmare you've been living. Keep it up, the fun, happy stories will come. xxxx

I wish I had a six to give you. I love this story. You sucked me right in, and I didn't expect that ending. You did a great job. Have a wonderful day. Shirley

    Thank you so much, shirley. It's been so difficult for me to write the last few weeks so I am thrilled with a virtual six even if it is a flash fiction post. Thank you!

Well done, Carol. Her false accusations scared him with no apology so he decided payback was due. He gave her a big scare. He evened the score... in his mind. Glad he walked away. She said he did it so he did it. Nancy:)

    Hurrah for you, Mamcy! I wasn't sure that everyone would understand that he only did it because she was to arrogant to apologize for her mistake. I appreciate the thoughts and the review.

Whoa! This is a terrific flash fiction contest entry. It should do very well. You snatched my attention from the first few words and did not let go until the very end. You were successful at building tension well done.

My goodness, Carol, you seem to be stepping into the dark side. I'm pleased that this had a moral and a happy ending. Very good piece of 100-word flash. You were able to tell the whole story. This should do well.

    You hit the nail on the head with that one, Sue. I can't seem to get the dark clouds to move away so I can write again so I guess I decided the best thing to do was join them. LOL Appreciate the review and your thoughts.

    You are welcome. Maybe try writing about happy or comical men, rather than abused women. Shrug.
reply by the author on 24-Mar-2022
    Can I abuse the men? Just kidding, of course.
reply by Susan Newell on 24-Mar-2022
    Enough abuse already! :-D

    Perhaps because the world is so dark now I long for more lighthearted stories to read. I learned something from one of Kit Nongklaw's (sp?) stories. His father told him, "Focus on the solution, not the problem." I think we all know what the problems are and I keep trying to focus on solutions. Ultimately, the solution is to have people choose to turn their hearts to God. We must endeavor to find reasons for them to do so.

Sorry I don't have a six for this. Chilling and just enough to stimulate my overactive imagination.

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming flash,

What a scary story and experience for the lady. Sometimes it doesn't pay to report something like that. It can be a nightmare. It doesn't mean we shouldn't report crime.

Well done.

    She made a mistake and misjudged him, but was to proud to say so. I guess he decided payback was better than the actual possibilities. A strange world we live in!

I was afraid this was going to end very badly for her. I am glad it didn't. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. You told an entire story using only a few words. Good job and good luck.
