This is an excellent answer to the prompt. A complete, interesting and clever tale in less than 150 words. Has my vote. Great job. NG

A good read, exciting, diabolical. Maybe he'll be successful in pulling off the perfect crime. Good sequencing and insight into his thought process.

Excellent story. Great twist. You managed to get a novel's worth of action into less than150 words. Amazing! Calling his wife's phone was a nice touch. I look forward to reading more of your work. Good job. I hope you win the contest.

All go isn't it! Hope you didn't leave a footprint on the door you kicked in.... or that your murderous accomplice doesn't rat you out.... or that your girlfriend hasn't vanished with your money and some Mexican drug lord.... or....

Good luck in the contest

    Rats! I'm not going to make it am I? I knew I needed fifty more words! Appreciate the well wishes. It appears I may need the money. Thank you very much.

This is a prompt story where the requirement is to use some words for the entry. I noted the words listed were used, but I am not quite satisfied on the contents of the story. It is abrupt to come to the conclusive part of the events
surrounding the case. Of course with the limited words of
100 to 150, detailed explanation is not quite possible. Yet, it can be revised to make the story run better.

    Could be some revisions, I agree. I was going for a kind of pop, pop, pop, effect. But, I will give your advice some serious consideration. Thank you for some great insights and a thoughtful review. Most appreciated.

loved the idea of a continental breakfast.
Good plot but do not try it in real life you might not be so lucky

    Darn! I knew I'd have to move from Mazatlan. Russian airport, here I come! Thanks for the encouraging words. In the real world I'm lucky my wife tolerates me and my Fanstory addiction. Hahaha. Thank you.
