Mikey, you have creatively reminded the reader that two can play the game, sadly. Apropos conversation for this type of individuals. One small thing, wrong to here, workin' out to well should be too. All the best in the contest, my friend. :0 GracieAnn

Well, you did it, Mikey, and I think that is the way it would go in reality. What would be the point of fighting, they were all at it. I enjoyed your experiment, well done! Wasn't sure about the phone call at the end, did I miss something? xsx sandra

I saw that prompt and this chapter goes the same way. I think I read the previous chapters as well, but your introduction certainly helped. Ice the two unfaithful couples meet.

Really interesting premise for the whole story` I appreciated the twist in this last installment, but felt that the ending was kind of a let down. However, as usual your characters are vivid and dialogue specific to each person. Caroline

Looks good, but I missed the first chapters to this mayhem. Abi Word looked good. I got a few chuckles out of this one. Creative plot. I wish you luck... in the contest. Grammar is tight as a mooring in surging bay. Count your doubloon. do loco.

Interesting premise, Mikey. Now I understand why everyone always has their trysts at deserted bars. It's because they'll all run into each other there. It seems to me the best place for a clandestine meeting is at a Republican Convention.

Nicely written as always,

Gloria

    Yep, no one would pay any attention to something clandestine there!! :) This was fun. I wanted to see if I could take some really boring people and get them to do something interesting. Thank you, mikey

I like that it did not descend into a brawl, just drunken resignation. I am not to sure about the ending though, the call from the local sheriff. I don't think you need to complicate the story.

    You might be right on the ending. I just wanted to add a call from the real world to show that their could be a consequence while they where playing their games. This was just a weird experiment to see if I could get some boring people to do anything exciting!

    Fixed that my eagle eye friend. No one caught it, of course. :) I left it up in the air. Just putting some ordinary people in a bad spot to show what can happen if folks aren't honest with each other.

I liked this and think you did a great job with it. However, reality tells me that both couples would have ended up rolling on the floor and punching it out...or not. Great work with this. I enjoyed it very much.

    Could be. These are pretty dull and ordinary people for the most part though, in over their heads. I doubt any of them have ever thrown a punch. Glad you liked it. I was just experimenting really. Taking some really boring people and seeing if I could drag any excitement out of them. :)) mikey

I'd like to think they left with their own spouses. The grass is always greener until someone tries to graze in your pasture. Then you see it's worth. LOL Well done Mikey. I just don't get the call from the local sheriff's office.They were all very drunk, maybe that's it.

    I threw the call in as a kind of reminder that there is a real life that they have while they are out messing around. Maybe one of the daughters got in trouble. I just left it up in the air. Glad you enjoyed it. mikey
