Freewrite - “Guess what?”

in Freewriters15 days ago

She stomped angrily toward him with the garment in her hand.

“Guess what? I know all about that tramp! Tell her she shouldn't leave her dirty cheap underwear in our room if she doesn't want you to end up broke when I leave you!”

“Honey?”

“Don't call me ‘honey’!”

By now she was sobbing. But he maintained his composure.

“Honey, look at what you're holding.”

He seemed fairly unbothered for a soon to be divorced man and that compelled her to follow his instruction. On closer inspection, it was a sheer black, laundry bag and not a piece of lingerie after all.

“Oh! I could have sworn it was…I mean I probably should have looked closer but I was so sure…”

“Everybody makes mistakes. Don't worry about it.” He shrugged. It was, of course , exactly what she thought it was initially but as a world class magician, that trick took him no effort at all.

Advanced Gaslighting for Serial Cheaters. If it were a course, this guy would cheat it, I mean teach it 😉. In other news, I don't usually post more than once in a 24 hour hour stretch but I've skipped one post already for 2026 and I'm trying not to skip another so I decided to make up for the one I missed more recently.

But anyway, head on over here for the details and prompt to write your own freewrite on this prompt although if you're getting to it after me, it'll be a little late.

That ending makes me smile; that man is a great cheat.

Thanks for sharing your micro-story with us.

Excellent Thursday.

If I were to write the rest, his wife would hire a magician private investigator to find out the truth and he'd finally get caught...🤔 maybe some other time. Thanks for dropping by and excellent Thursday to you too 😊
