Oh my God what was that about!!!! Ouchhh!! Now I am really curious as to what little Charlie did to deserve that treatment! And you were spot on about the part that it usually did the thinking for both us and we had fun times playing as kids haha! That part was hilarious! A really different entry in the contest! Best wishes :-)

    Thanks for your review. I'm pleased you saw the humour in the story. Charlie got out and about far too promiscuously, so his wife took matters into her own hands as punishment.

    The story was not placed - maybe too brutal for some.

Oh my! This is an unthinkable and a situation that no man wants to spend much time thinking about. He should have been more careful with his infidelity. I don't advise or condone it at all. If you're going to cheat, at least try to be good at it. Thanks for sharing this humorous and well written work. Well done!

I think this is a good entry for the Charlie writing prompt.
This short story about Charlie is well told and has a twist at the end.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

LOL! Better behaved indeed! Well, it looks like there was some lessons learned. Really imaginative story and well written. It keeps you reading all the way through to the surprising end.

I wondered if Charlie was some kind of metaphor, but I never thought about his "pecker." How cleverly you wrote this story. Without giving it away, but reading back through it, the allusion are perfect.

This story had a surprise ending. I never would have guessed where this story was going. Here is though Charlie was a soldier and then I found out he was a part of you. I guess it is meant to be humor but it sounds painful. It is a different kind of story. Very creative. Good luck in the contest.
