Wow - now there's a whole lot of emotion written in only eighty words, Brett... so much backstory the reader can imagine here as well - great job!;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;) Yvette

Ouch, this is some fine writing that packs a powerful punch with very few words. And I must say, not anything I might have expected to come from you, but well done just the same. Thanks for sharing.

What a tragic story of murderous rage and suicide. You did a great job with this flash fiction. I did not find any errors. Have a great week-end. Shirley

It is so sad that some people view the deceit of another as a personal affront, rather than just a failing of the one who tried to and ultimately failed to deceive us. It is so much more fulfilling to just walk away wiser, and free of the influence of the deceiver's evil ways. Free to find real love, true friendship and the enervating power to show the deceiver what they will forever be without.

You couldn't have written a tighter murder - suicide story if you'd tried.
I don't think that young man had much going for him, he admits it himself. So, when he sees his girlfriend cheating, something snapped, and then we have two dead people. Excellent story. Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

No doubt and surprised there was head left. I never found any mistakes I was to busy reading what you wrote. Glad it is fiction. Best to you in the contest.

It is good, but I don't see much conflict. Wouldn't Dereck have felt better after killing his cheating girlfriend? It sounds like he's committing suicide because of his miserable life, not killing this woman. I think you're spending too much time on that murder if it is not the cause for the suicide.

There isn't much hope for Derrick. Even if he hadn't pulled the trigger, he would have faced justice anyway for killing Rosalie. She wasn't so sweet if she cheated on him, but that's no reason to kill her. Powerfully told, and you include all the necessary elements in your 80 words. Best of luck. judi

I have to say, this probably isn't something I would read if it was a book...too much testosterone. However, you did a good job, it got a reaction from your reader. Nicely written.
