That's so wrong and yet so funny too. Very well written. You had me all the way. I did not see your magnificent twist coming. It makes me wonder if there really are people out there who do that. For some reason I think so.
Great story with a fantastic twist.

Especially divorce lawyers. Thanks.
Comment from mfowler
I actually closed this document because the penny hadn't dropped and then I laughed out loud. Yeah, of course the divorce lawyer is preparing cards to send to potential client's partners, just to provoke a bit of jealousy, and by default, lawyer business. Why is that lawyers are the butt of so many jokes? Where there's smoke there's fire, I guess. A well spent sixty words. Good luck in the vote.

Thanks. A guffaw is the goal of every writer. Either that or tears, but I digress...

A story told in 60 words takes some doing. You seem to have achieved this with a witty unexpected ending.
I would say that you have a good chance of winning this competition.

It does make one think of endless possibilities though, doesn't it?
Comment from Muffins
What evil people will do for money. In 60 words you presented the attributes of a character, the plot and the future dramatic outcome that is destine to occur. Great flash fiction story.

Thanks, just imagine the trouble one card can create.
Comment from Domino 2
You don't need the comma after 'each', though I would suggest one after 'perfume'.
Amusing short story, though I find the ending a little unclear. How would HE in particular get the 'business'?
Good luck and best wishes, Ray

Comment from giraffmang
I enjoyed this one.
It was very amusing.
Should there be a comma after each? And I think envelope should be plural. hope this helps :)
