Cute story. It is's too bad it was a repost. It would have been a good one for the contest about the last words before someone dies. I think Miss Wigglebottoom wan't be leaving any time soon.

Lol, that was funny, but I'll never go into any room that has got one spider in it!! I can't stand them. This was cleverly done, Gretchen, and the girl now gets a rise and possible a rich husband!! Loved it, my friend. :)) Sandra

Now, that was an unexpected ending. I realize this is an older post. Too bad as it would have been perfect for that 'last words' contest. It would have had my vote. I'm still laughing. I say give Caroline the raise.

It's great to wake up to humor and start my day off with a good hearty laugh. I might even start carrying spikers around in my pockets for whenever I might need one. Thanks for sharing.

Hilarious. Worthy of six stars but, well you know, it's the end of the week. Great characters, lovely dialogue and beautifully structured, leading the reader to your excellent ending. Well done.

This work has reached the exceptional level

If you didn't get a bunch of sixes on this the first time, you should have. Really good story with an O. Henry ending. Have you ever gone to Ralan.com? He has lots of markets at his site that might be of interest to you. He was there around Christmas, but he has had some health problems over the years.

    I don't know what you are referencing when you say hissing.

A fun story although I wasn't expecting the ending with the demise of the wife! So a good twist at the end. Wendy

    I wrote this silliness in 2016. I hadn't quite figured out proof reading, apparently. Lol. Thanks for this. Gretchen

Nicely done , Gretchen,

I love this flash fiction Gretchen, wish I have a six for you, justice prevails here as the old woman was jealous of Caroline and her ample bosom. That spider was a bit scary though, a fun post and it should have been in a contest, love Dolly x

    Lol. I think poor Edna underestimated Caroline. Thanks for the virtual six. Gretchen
