Oh, Karen, that story was too funny! Loved the twist at the end. You did a great job packing a full story into so few words.

Best wishes in the contest!

My father often said, "Don't bet the farm." It has some interesting connotations, and you presented one. LOL Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

I have heard of people who gamble their prize possessions and end up with nothing and this story had a strange twist in it, an entertaining story, love Dolly x

    Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Gambling is definitely too intimidating for me; I'll stick to low-risk activities!

Oh no. A wife must come first and foremost. Well things happen for a reason too. This is a well written short story with good imagery and dialogue. It was fun to read.

Best wishes,

Alex

That was a great ending for this flash fiction story, Karen and good on 'the brood mare' for leaving Jim. Well written and I found it easy to imagine this scenario. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! I'm new here, and this was my first time posting any fiction, so I was a bit nervous.
