Excellent

How devastating.
(Well written, by the way)
How bad those neighbors must have felt.
In the U.S., women are protected by the Postal Service not giving out address changes (when requested not to), but this guy had an idea where his ex-wife was.
People are just too mean.

You are right. I think here people are a bit more relaxed, and perhaps too naive. But such people are everywhere. Fortunately it's just fiction, although realistically it could easily happen. Thanks for a great review.

Glad it was fiction. You wrote it forcefully, credibly.

Oh WOW. This was a very well-written piece of flash fiction. It moved easily and told like an actual conversation. That twist at the end really shocked me! Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you Jessi! I am so glad it had an impact. Although only fiction, such things can and do happen. I appreciate your review.

As I finished reading your story, I was happy to see that it was an entry for a Fiction contest. How sad for these people who were just trying to be kind and giving directions, to hear such awful news.

Yes, it would have been devastating. Fortunately it's only fiction although I am sure such things can easily happen. Thanks for a great review.
