"Get out of my way, "

OUCH but four stars

Why do writers do this shit? It was a terrible idea the first time someone did it and it hasn't improved. I'm always going to give every one of these 750 word things a one. Enough.

Classic Skippy! Quick fun story.

750 word so called stories are a waste of time for the writer as well the reader. 2 stars for not putting a lot more effort into writing a decent story.

Great little story.

Cold, but extremely satisfying. Nobody wants the real bitch behind the beautiful facade.

Needs a part 2

The story was alright but it's incomplete.

Short and sweet!

5

Have to admit; got a chuckle out of this one.

I keep coming back here hoping for an original idea.

At last, an original idea!

Five stars.

I actually kind of like this. Really short and sweet, no cheating, just being a shit partner.

Stupid story

Best 750 word story I have read on this site. 5*

Whimsical but fun

Short and to the point! Well done!

Started my morning with a good laugh. Thanks

"Get out of my way". What a perfect solution for Katrina to "make things right"!

Well this does beg an ending but for it is its not bad.

Loved the last line the best - "Get out of my way."

He didn't exactly burn the bitch but I understand the intention. I can't help thinking though if he's just a fraction as bad as she claimed he was she'll be celebrating the day he left.

Loved it wonder how many couples either husband or wife would feel the same?

Brilliant

Nice creative approach to BTB

Thank you

You could make a more interesting longer piece of work from this, or as a few (many) of my former teachers used to say to me, Not bad but you can do better!

Clever. Good original approach to a common problem.

Whoa he he

Absolutely unique

GIVE THIS GUY A BEER!

The husband is a sure Hall of Fame candidate for the Bro Code Legends.

Nice work Skippy47.

The true worth of something is what someone will give or do to have it. Apparently Katrina was worthless.

Listen skipper this is so wrong we need our top writers to focus on the long stories that we all remember and keep coming back to time after time (like many of yours). leave the 750s for the wannabe and hack writers that are so abundant in LW. Please and Thank you

Funny - 4*. Now go finish one of your full feature stories! LOL!

Great!!!!! 5 star

Wow - a great story and how did you know what my wife is like anyway?

Short, direct, and to the point. Good work, Thanks.

Unique and well written. The last sentence is truly “perfect”.

Great flash story! It gave me a good laugh! Very creative! Thanks.

It is creative and different. beyond that I at a loss as to how I feel.

Skippy 47 does it again, I don't hand out 5 stars easily, but for a few of my favorite writers. but this short tale was well executed and well written.

The wife didn't cheat, but she was still a bitch.

Not bad for a 750. At the start I thought that those guys were already her lovers and he was using the meeting for the confrontation to then divorce. Nice change and for me at least it was pretty original.

Interesting, but it didn't land. The challenge with the short stories is that you need to stick the landing and your's wobbled.

Enjoyed that!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Boom! Direct and to the point.

.

Easy 4 **** flash.

I do not care for BTB stories. That said I do appreciate quality writing and I find it here. This story represents fine writing skills and easily qualifies for the high score I am awarding.

Great story! If you think of a way the bitch can REALLY make it up to him with lots of humiliation thrown in, please write it.

If only! Free-market solution to divorce.

Now that was refreshing- quick, funny and to the point. You got a 5, altho I suspect such a wife would be screaming mad after such a stunt, instead of crying and remorseful.

generally people in unhappy marriages don't just start begging for a chance.. they get a lawyer and start fighting you for every single item in the house.

Hahahaha! Very nice angle.

I love it!

Clever, as usual for you, Skippy. Sometimes the 2x4 upside the head is what’s needed to make folks see the errors of their ways. I’m guessing this shrew has had her Epiphany and should be given a chance, but with the clear understanding of what’s expected from both of them to make the marriage successful.

Thanks for the chuckle and the break from all the crap that dominates LW these days. Were it not for a few writers like you, i would have given up on LW long ago.

Three dudes, all of which have been flirting at her with work a long time? Not one of them is going to get up and leave, no matter what she said to him on that tape, before they fuck her brains out. It's a ludicrous premise, admittedly yet the characters do not behave in an even slightly realistic way.

Get out of my way……..lol

That’s perfect. My wife isn’t quite so blatant about some aspects, but hey: men have a genetic predisposition to be the provider, protector, and sire children. A woman bitches without thinking about the emasculate effects of her criticism. I’ve come close to leaving at times, just never thought to sell my position!

750 words is an impossible scenario. Hard to tell a good story. This was pretty funny.......

loved the concept and the presentation.

well done!

FACT!

Food for thought!

Hilarious and fun!

Great last line. Perfect way to end it.

Meh

Skippy, you're a genius.After hearing the tape, none of the three were even willing to give her a try-out. LOL. LP

Get out of my way,,,,,,

Brilliant

Ok that was fun. Glad to see someone try something new for a change.

Not only is this the first different story in some time but the only decent one submitted today.

Its been Mentally Ill week around here for over a month so thanks!!

Great little short. Ticked all the boxes. Thanks Skip.

This is a non-story. It is not even an idea of a story, it is just nonsensical. 1 star for repeating BTB flash stories, one worse than another.

Excellent i page story. You never fail to satisfy! 5 Stars.

Looks like he easiest way to get high rating for a story in LW is to write an idiotic BTB story, god forbid reconciliation. Just use a few moronic stereotypes, you could even write "February sucks" drivel. There is always plenty of male couch potatoes angry on women that dumped or rejected them, ready to jump and cheer for any BTB bullshit.

Hope Hubby has an inheritance coming due in a year or two! Or is an electrician or plumber … or deep-sea welder! Or is ready to lose a generous beer-belly! Super last sentence!

Freakin awesome.

I vote ten points for the “line of the year”.

Stupid.

Perhaps too subtle for the quick study. "Get out of my way" is her cue card to reconciliation. All she claimed was a desire to stay married to him, not for him to stay with her. So she gets out of his way, stays out of his way, and does not file for divorce. She can live the rest of her life in hope and commitment, or she can pull the plug and find the better man she apparently felt she deserved. How she stays out of his way will tell the husband if she is worth going back to. Maybe worth a sequel. Interesting as is, but not satisfying. Thanks for the effort.

He's right, the last line is genius. But the situation -- husband auctioning off his role -- is interesting enough to warrant further development, I think.

****Great start greater finish. Thanks for sharing.

sorry for the 3* maybe because I didn't understand the ending. I mean I get him leaving and not taking it any longer, but it just seemed odd. no cheating, just her being a bitch and when she wanted to change it was too late.

Interesting premise, worth 5* for that alone. It would be interesting to expand this and flesh out the characters, real time examples of her bitchiness, etc. Fun read.

To Skippy47, all I can say is DAMN!!!

To the commenters bitching he didn't go far enough, it's a freaking 750 word story. It is meant to be compact. He could not build more depth with the limited space so he went for impact.

I love the premise of the auction! It is something I had not seen before. The MC finds a unique solution for the harpie he was married to to put up or shut up about wanting more dick, and got the exact guys in the room that she had been fantasizing about. He had a whole exit strategy figured out where she could not have her claws into him and make him destitute by having some other sucker take his place. Then he pollutes the well by showing them what life would be like with this shrew in their lives. The Lotharios ran so fast and probably spread the word to where nobody would have a thing to do with her, then the MC bails. This premise was absolutely brilliant for the short story!

5 stars - I love this story - I should have done this 20 years ago - what a great idea.

Okay, that was fun. Nice play with the auction. At 750 words the best you'll get is a solid, emotional scene. This one delivered just that, congrats! Thank you for the enjoyable read!

Killian

Made me smile, short but to the point⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How in the hell do you come up with these stories. They are beer squirting out the nose funny. Author, thank you.

Ahhh such a nice idea. Should be dumping the harpy 101.

It's a good point. So many men get snared by trying to "do the right thing" and go the legal route. Just bail out on the broken person.

Nice story, any chance of a follow-up?

About time she learned what her actions have caused. Not as cute as she thought she was. Good story.

Mostly good but feels incomplete.

Very good!!! I can relate to him...

Good work!! now finish it.

That was fun.

Very clever!

God, he put three torpedoes into and wrecked her lifeboat too!

AWSOM solution

Have never seen this device used!

Welll done!!!

Amusing

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🤣😆😂😆🤣

Nicely done! A good, short btb. No violence for nixrox and his many Anonymous accounts. What's not to like?

1. "I know there have been several other men you were interested in, but they turned me down."

2. "One by one they said 'No' or 'Hell no' and left. The offer of taking my place as her husband was no longer attractive. Two of them offered their condolences for being married to her."

Ego burns, no recovery! Genius!!

I generally hate shorties, but this was also funny.

Like your writing and she got what she wanted. It was short.

2nd time read, and still funny as all get out! 5🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴

Cinco.

Creative and witty

5 Stars on a great story .. My Ex would have done them all for free

Problem solved! 5*

Ed

Great. Thank you.

I don’t offer a 5 star rating very often, but this was classic, great fast and so easy to believe, it’s a BTB in one way, and not in another, but great reading.
