....not too well thought out.
Think about it. 1* for having so little regard for the audience.
Crap story after crap story on this site lately. If it wasn't for the subject matter, I'd think this was a site for eighth grade writers. Don't you have to have some minimal standards? I guess not. One star.
Don't know which is worse..this idiot author or this pathetic site.
...because the first 80% of this "story" would have made an interesting start to a REAL story. However, that said, the way this one was cut off at the knees...sheesh!
...that this author's next story will be titled, "Einstein?" And that it will begin:
"You should trust my judgment," I told the four people standing in my giant, well-furnished living room. "After all, my name is Einstein."
Your just sitting there minding your own business then POW! your hit by a drive-by story leaving you with a smile on your face. Thanks
3*, but this story left out a lot of questions unanswered...There are short stories that say it all, but this wasn't one of them...
Could have been posted in humor. As a flash story, I liked it.
To come up with that weak plot. More likely a Wal-Mart cashier.
Will there be more?
However, can a 'brain disease' really be cured by a couple of injections. And why did he need the gun?
Thought that she was a cheater couldn't figure what brain surgeon had with it, but the used syringes gives a wee bit of fore telling to keep you to the end .5*****
Definitely something new and refreshing. You did a very good job on such a short story. No married gay men here. Love it. Keep writing.
Not sure what to make of it. Grateful that it is short; less time wasted. P.S. He should have shot Eric anyway, just for the fun of it. If he's so macho why does he need a bulletproof vest? Pussy!
I admit that doing brain surgery with a syringe is out of the ordinary, perhaps he was injecting nanobots in which case it should be Sci Fi. Classification is not that important
but I recognize that I enjoyed it... and would not have read it in any other classification!
Why? Shouldn't have been a flash story. Needed build-up, lots of build-up.You should have made him fear she was having an affair, then had the slow release of facts that would make him think: "Wait! What is really happening here? Is she having an affair? Or might there be a medical problem?
I suggest you do a re-write a long re-write. *3 Stars for the story so far. But you could use this as the basis for a 5* story.

Wife tied to a chair and unconscious. Why? For what reasons are the rest of the people there? And how does the minor god, a brain surgeon, become proficient with a gun? Do we really think he'll shoot anyone of them? And the ending. A MIRACLE! A simply drug concoction either saves her life or changes her behavior? Even though he couldn't/didn't test her for anything? Sorry but to be any good this story needed a LOT more information. As a flash story it was a miserable waste of time.
I have read heaps of stories and in my opinion (leave sleeping dogs layor you don't flog a dead horse) IT'S SHITE! You know the stuff when you walk through the park and it is a dog friendly park and you step barefoot on doggie land mine you can't get rid of the smell because it "STINKS" LIKE THIS STORY LOVE YOU ALL! BYE! OH 10 % OF READING SHITE GREG
Most of the LW audience is looking for something else entirely.

I like short if it gets the job done and I like stories that play with the reader's mind. This did both. That was a lot of fun. Thank you.
Again. I’ve gotten older since I read this previously. I’m not sure I get it this time.
