Is that equivalent word, "be prepared" Iza, it seems like it should be. A most imaginative story, and a reasonably familiar one, a lot of romance stories are forthcoming before the true stories are validated. This is beautifully written dear girl. Well done, blessings Roy

"Came back riding on a black horse." That said it all about this "fake prince" aka the Gypsy's ex. That revenge was pretty brutal; I wouldn't call that peaceful at all! Well written!

I like her strength and acceptance of the situation that lead her to her death. l was encased in the story from beginning to end. THe character has a way of connecting with your right from the start.

Very witty. It's nice to see your narrator get her revenge. A bit late now, but you wrote "felt in love" instead of "feel in love" in your first paragraph. Otherwise, well done. Best of luck in the contest.

Dear Mystery Writer,
This was an intriguing tale. I must admit, I am pretty confused. I never did get the actual relationship figured out. She was drawn to him, it was faith and love that put them together, but she was unhappy. Why?
Other notes:
1.) Title should be The (Gypsy)
2.) but no worries folks, there (are) more surprises to come, cestna pionerska!
3.) I am the bad luck girl, who (fell) for the awesome and fake Prince (who) came (riding) in(to) my life on a black horse.
4.) He was not meeting any of my (criteria): tall,
5.) He was just the charming bastard (who) made all the women
6.) I don't know how I (fell) for him!
7.) All our exotic escapades and the (wedding) went through my credit cards.
8.) One (piece of) advi(c)e for my girls: please measure
9.) What he didn't know was, that I had the heart of a (gypsy)
Hope this helps a bit. Thanks and good luck!

Hi Robyn, thank you so much for your corrections and for taking a chance on this story.
Comment from palmart
Nice poem, describing how complicated could be the feelings and our human side! Great use of wording describing internal feelings and how the change with time and situations. The final part referred to the "return" to have " saved many other women from this cruel and greedy bastard". Thank you for the Russian expression explanation, it adds another point of view through a different word.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I bet loads of women would like the ability to come back as a witch and do something not very nice to their not so nice husbands! Lol. I enjoyed this story, it was a well written, different angle plot for the contest, speaking from the victims POV was perfect. Really well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx
I think I found a couple of nits below.
..oh my God, he was bold (bald ?) and had a beard. I don't know how I felt for him
All our exotic escapades and the weeding (wedding ?) went through my credit cards.

Your story is very intriguing and mysterious, but also has the modern twist of a greedy man who thinks he could kill you and walk away with your money -- money that was as much an illusion as his love.
