All Comments on 'Flying Solo'

True, not HDK, but right there neck and neck. Loved it and thanks for your effort putting it together.

Story.

I've enjoyed your stories very much. Thanks for writing another.

But finding a new Ohio story in the AM is just fine by me. Thanks for sharing this one.

Why did the girl call him Uncle Dave? Why Rio? Why the sex that morning? What's wrong with having over ten grand cash? Why are your stories so short? Are you gay, Puta? (What the hell does Puta mean?) This is just a sample of what to expect if you want to write like your hero, HDK. Questions, and at least one "Puta" comment, but no explanation what a Puta is or why you are called one. Or is it Punta? Great little story from one many regard as the second best writer on Lit. (It looks like WinterFoxx may be the best!) Are we supposed to guess what the title should be? Back in The USSR? Flying? I know..."Lucy In The Sky With (Fake) Diamonds"?

Short, well written, and believable!! What more can a reader ask...or yeah more of them. I have missed your wit and talent. Well done. Michael

A nice little twist at the end. Good work

Landing in Rio with nothing. I wonder how she will get some money to eat? And she'll be left thinking her lover abandoned her. Nice.

I liked it! It was funny, with a Hidden twist (^_^).

I enjoyed the story. What Beatles song? The theme fits the song "Flying Solo" by Ilse De Lange. Lyrics include;

'Cross the bering strait

To a foreign land

I took the sky just like I planned

Left my old life behind

There in the ice and snow

Followed a rainbow to Mexico

Somewhere this side of lucky

Just shy of goin' down

There's a pilot with her wings on fire

And she doesn't even notice

She's got magic on her mind

'Cause she's flying solo for the first time..........

Thank you for another great story. I look forward to new stories from you and HDK. I would love to see Lucinda's face when she figures it out.

I always expect the best when I see Ohio (or HDK)

The "thanks, Uncle Dave" gave this story the extra kick it needed to be really good.

ohio. Always look forward to and enjoy your stories.

You can be sure that a story written by Ohio will grab your interest immediately, be a fun read and have an unexpected twist at the end. Another great job!

HDK has a sick sense of humor and NOW...??? You do as well. I have always enjoyed your stories, and this one is no exception. You don't really have to change styles by the way, you were always good.

However, this one was a nice story in the HDK vein, of short snappy with a twist. Sounds like a good drink, I think I just might see what I can find to enjoy your next story.

As always, Ohio entertains us. And like HDK he can put a kick in the tail of the story. I really hope his wife had pre-paid hotel reservations, other wise she would have been problems. You can not sleep on Copacabana Beach except on New Years morning!

The coincidence at the end is believable. I've seen stranger.

And it was a nice way to get rid of the bad guy in the story.

...keep spreading those wings...

Liked this a lot. How about "Can't Buy Me Love?"

Ohio--you are second to no one!

If HDK and Ohio were using Rolling Stones songs, this one could be Under My Thumb or Satisfaction. My guess is she'll be calling dear hubby in a day or two...

I loved that little twist at the end. Uncle. Great ending.

and more Yawn

WHORE in spanish and portuguese.Punta is point(in spanish).

Good Job Ohio (PaulHB)

Really enjoyed the "uncle" comment at the end. Thanks again and someday hope you use the "nail his nuts to the top step and kick him down the stairs backward".

An after story about what ever happened to the wife and her shithead lover dealing with their separate tales of misery could be an interesting read. Thanks for sharing! Ohio, USA

Well thought, and the twist. I didn't see it at all

Good staple LV stuff. Just what you need on a Sunday morning.

Quick and dirty. Hehe.

I thought that one was way cool! Thanks for another good one.

she gets paste and he gets the money back and keeps the jewelry; and chris is in jail. At least she can made some money to support herself in Rio, for some minimal standard. A nice and deliberate way to work out the matter, and his doing well at the end, unlike her.

The cheating wife goes, but has the talent to sustain herself in Rio, certainly not at the level she'd expected. No great expense to get rid of her and he got him money back. information is power.

Loved this one

I haven't enjoyed myself so much in quite some time. Superb entertainment,as always.

The niece part was a slick kick ending -

A lot of fun

And I ashure you I loved the ending! R.T.

fun

very nice.

The poor wife. Her lover, who she gave the money to, doesn't show and her valuable diamonds are fakes.

However, it is not a total loss. She got an education. And, she is pretty so she can find another older man to take care of her.

Served her well, haha. ^__^

I love it...thanks!

and a lot of fun. This was a very well written story, very enjoyable.

I am reading stories on this website from more than 6-7 years, but his is the only story which moved me to write a comment on it. i am really happy to read such a classic story ...awesome.

That's how you treat a cheating wife and her lover. Jail time and stuck in a foreign country.

HA

Short and sweet. Thanks.

I just love it when the cheating wife gets her just desserts. I generally don't care so much what happens to her lover, but this story is every cheated man's dream.

Ohio is a great writer and not just a creator of Cucky wimp men

Love your stuff RAAC and the odd one of these.

Enjoyable short story...In the words of Hannibal Smith " I love it when a plan comes together ". Very crafty fun read.

This is one of the reasons I like Ohio's tales. When he does BTB, he doesn't mess around.

5 Stars.

I wish writers would be as creative when the husband is caught cheating. It is so often the standard cliche of the wife going out to have an affair to "get even" which is never as satisfying and only makes her a cheater too. Plenty of time for her to find a new relationship after the divorce and her new life.

He hadn't gotten rich because he was stupid.She, on the other hand, was a stupid, cheating bitch since day one. She got her due.

individuals often collect them. TK U MLJ LV NV

There's an old saying, '' Give a dog enough rope and he will hang himself'', clearly, as in this tale, the same applies to a BITCH.

I hope she winds up in the ole Rio whore house good luck bitch.

You are always trying to finish stories that others have written but damn man....Please finish your own!....at the very least an epilog!

Congrats. Short but excellent BTB. Four stars out of five. I would have liked to have seen a bit more emotion from Dave and something about Lucinda trying to contact him and beg for forgiveness. Or at least her reaction when she finds out she's been had. I am a bit spoiled by Jezzazz and DQS1. But I know you said it was going to be short.

it's always necessary to distrust (at first) any woman who seems interested in you. After testing her, if she checks out, fine and dandy but if not, you haven't lost anything. I know the romantics will say I'm a sleaze for saying that but females in general and and gold-diggers in particular are easily swayed by money. If you're a male who doesn't believe that, ask a trusted older man.

In MY world, it makes more sense in the long run to trust and verify so that your assets are protected from the get-go. After all, YOU'RE the one who worked your hands to the bone to be the success you are. Being rich is a bitch!

If he'd purchased millions of dollars in Jewelry, and given it to her to convince her to marry him, why did she need to steal it or the money at all? It was hers, and from before their marriage as well.

Still, like to see a cheater get theirs. But that part just didn't make sense. seems like the wife would have had no reason for all the subterfuge.

I liked where you were going with the story. However I felt you left it way too early. When I got to the bottom of the page I wanted to turn to page two to see what happened and how the characters reacted when they discovered he knew.

"When you have money....

it's always necessary to distrust (at first) any woman who seems interested in you. After testing her, if she checks out, fine and dandy but if not, you haven't lost anything."

i dont agree it seems to me if your a bit smart then as a golddigger you would expect that behavior and as a woman serieusly interested wouldnt put up with it.

A little long and detailed for true flash story but hey, the twist in the tail is neat!

Well, yeah, the jewelry WAS Sweetie's ... gifted to her by Hubby. But they were not in her actual possession (stupid to keep them in the house!)... and likely she had never had them appraised! So the 'paste' copies looked like the real things. Sweerie gets to South America with Very Little Cash and traveling companion has vanished! Sweetie has to think that Mr. Bull took the money and took a different flight to Panama (or Sri Lanka!). After all, Sweetie thinks Bull has a couple of million bucks in US cash! How dare he betray her!

So Sweetie goes to a reputable jeweler to cash in a $10K emerald ring and gets offered $10 bucks. After several more jewelers also tell her (and maybe loan her a loupe to show her the difference between a real emerald and her chunk of glass), she has no real means to launch an international investigation. And no proof of anything except abandoning her Hubby and being an accomplice in forgery and theft (of paste). Nope, the Sting is perfect and Sweetie will be working the 'avenidas' or the 'cantinas' within the week!

Clean and Cute. Hopefully, Hubby has learned that fluff is cute, but without substance. A great story!

Loved the Thanks Uncle Dave, that made the story great.

then the Buyer Beware assumes control. TK U MLJ LV NV

And she's going to fence her jewelry (who would take the jewels and give her any more than 10 cents on the dollar?) for very little as compared to value, why is she doing this? She had a great life. Why stray? Why wouldn't she plan long term? Take smaller amounts of money and squirrel it away. A nice ten year plan could set her up nicely. But this was both premature and stupid. Wasn't she supposed to be "smart"? Okay story - horrible conclusion.

Thanks, Uncle Dave. One of the best story endings in a long, long time. Worthy of 5 Stars.

Stupid. The whore wife was just pathetic. How stupid can you be? I'll tell you. Stupid enough to be in a foreign country with fake jewelry, an asshole boyfriend in jail and an ironclad pre-nup if she ever got back home. Home? How about the nearest brothel? That'll work.

Well done. Loved the ending retribution.

Sounds like Rio just got a new street whore.

The title to my comment says it all nice one

5*

I don't understand the complaints about the abrupt ending.

The point was made, no need to belabor it.

then why didn't you do that annony? Your wife cheated on you from the first week of your marriage. And all you did was clean her out!

Love the zinger at the end! Enjoying your stuff, Thanks!

I agree with you that HDK is a master of the tongue-in-cheek and outright hilarious tale. Glad that I've discovered both of you.

Vote 1* for 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐔𝐌𝐁 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐘 𝐖𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐄™ (that's what her clients call her) aka BONNIE/VASTIE aka NEEDYOU200 aka 5+ANNONY!

bigshot rich wankers always ruin the story for me. i was rooting for the cheater in this one.

Well written but just another burn the cheating bitch story. I read too many of these . How about some where there is reconciliation instead of vengeance? 5 as always.

Why would anyone feel reconciliation is deserved in most cheating situations? The cheater has deliberately lied, manipulated, and disrespected the other person, usually for and extended period of time. The cheater does not think of the other spouse or the marriage and instead only thinks of their own selfish desires. The cheater does not love their spouse otherwise they wouldn't do just about the most damaging thing possible to them. The cheater knows it's wrong and therefore tries to hide it.

There is no reason for anyone to reconcile with a deliberate cheater and most likely no reason when the drunk cheater puts themselves in the situation in which they cheat. Even an emotional and not physical affair is cheating.

I can definitely see forgiving a cheater for their actions but in almost all cases reconciliation is pathetic. The marriage has been permanently affected, trust is gone, and there will always be the memories.

Cheaters just need to accept responsibility for their actions and move on.

AND HE PAID HER BACK WELL AND TRULY....

Imaging what her reaction gonna be when she finds out jewelry are fake hahahahaha

Should be to report all the jewelry as stolen by his wife. That would flag her passport so if she tried to re-enter the US she would be immediatly arrested.

as she will definitely be up one and very soon. TK U MLJ LV NV

This is what we need more of on loving wives.

"Where's the sex?" ... in your hand, while you jerk off in your oatmeal, dickhead.

Good enough for four stars from me.

Bwahahahahahaha!

But there needed to be another page with the details of what happened to her after she reached her destination and found out about everything. How'd she get back (if she did). Did he have her changed with falsifying his ID while getting into the safety deposit box. Any other charges he could come up with. She comes back, he has her arrested and divorces her while she's in jail. She doesn't come back, he files for abandonment and he still gets a divorce. Sounds like a big win-win to me.

Superb plot and nicely arranged

in a flash story.

One of the best LW stories I've read.

Top ratings from me

and a personal salute to the author!

With a neat little twist in the very last sentance. Well done.

Thanks for sharing.

HAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA.....

Too many stupidities in this short worthless story. Really -- a bank would allow one spouse to access a safety deposit box after denying it to other spouse - breach of contract and bank regulations be damned? How could guy find fakes for jewelry so quickly, and wife would not recognize? Wife would be much better off financially with divorce, and so why go through this (may be pre-nup, but nothing about that)? The story isn't even worth the time it took to write this note.

An almost perfect short story. Reason for burn given, and then wife and lover get burned. Now have a word with Marcie.

Covered all bases except that in very short story

Good

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BTFO!

I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND why he says about her wife that "she was pretty trusting for an adulterer!"She was an adulterer FOR HIM,BUT NOT FOR THAT MAN to whom OBVIOUSLY SHE COULD TRUST!

Also,I MUST CLEARLY DISAGREE with someone who said ONLY BULLSHIT in another comment,such as "really -- a bank would allow one spouse to access a safety deposit box after denying it to other spouse - breach of contract and bank regulations be damned?How could guy find fakes for jewelry so quickly and wife would not recognize?Wife would be much better off financially with divorce and so why go through this (may be pre-nup,but nothing about that)"!THAT'S ONLY A BUNCH OF NONSENSES!First of all,WE DIDN'T KNOW AT ALL if the other spouse was present when that deposit was opened(it is possible that they opened it at his request,but WITHOUT HIS PERSONAL PRESENCE!),but even if it was so,the explanation WAS VERY SIMPLE:that safe-deposit box WAS MADE BY THE HUSBAND,who was the person with the money in the couple,and so HE COULD HAVE OPENED IT WITHOUT ANY NEED FOR HIS WIFE TO BE PRESENT!Then,since this guy was RICH,THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEM FOR HIM to find or to get "fakes for jewelry" done VERY QUICKLY!And,besides that,WE DON'T KNOW how quickly his wife and her lover put their plan into action after he found out about the safety deposit box thing!So,THERE COULD HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF TIME for him to obtain those fake jewelry!Finally,IT IS CLEARLY MENTIONED in the story the "ironclad prenuptial agreement",that HE CLEARLY TOLD HER ABOUT before their marriage!So,the "pre-nup" EXISTED!But,even without a prenuptial agreement,IT WASN'T TRUE AT ALL that "the wife would be much better off financially with divorce"!SHE WAS THE ADULTERESS and,therefore,SHE WOULD HAVE ENDED WITH NOTHING(or almost nothing)!This was THE MORE THAN OBVIOUS REASON for "going through this"!Some people SHOULD REALLY THINK A LITTLE before writing IDIOCIES and WASITING OUR TIME with SUCH NONSENSES!

...but this is fantasy! Who says it has to be believable? That was fun. Good job.

Decent up to the ending which was a damp squib.What happened to Lucinda? and Chris wouldn't necessarily be jailed for a first time offence.

Nicely done. No doubt she'll need to work flat her back for a while to rustle up funds.

in general a great start for a story, but lacking a full ending

Reasonable story,but lacks an ending,needs more.

One of the other comments was spot on. Extend the story. Show what happens to a "rich" woman in Rio with no money and with all her credit cards cancelled. Could be great fun.
