When love is good, there’s nothing better. When love goes bad, there’s nothing worse. Can feel the shards of love torn hearts — guilt, remorse, no forgiveness, revenge, helplessness, rage, anguish…a savage, touching story about the wreckage of failed love.

Terrific confessional story, but in my opinion Jimmy gets let off a little easy. If it was me, all I’d get from my wife at the end is a Looker’s look, leaving me to to judge myself…and that’s what I fear most.

I was so glad this story did not end with a killing which would have been cliche.Wilde said that each man kills the thing he love etc Greta did it so elegantly she killed the past . Great tension here splendid descriptive writing and evocation of wasted anger in the past
Theatre lore is you should never put a gun on stage unless you intend to use it you put that piece of tradition to bed here . Well done

People don’t use the phrase “skylarking” enough anymore. My favorite line: “See how that plays for you the next time you sing in church”. It’s what one of Bukoswki’s woman would have left him with before driving off with his pants. Or it’s what a Jim Thompson dame would have muttered before putting a few slugs in the hero and stuffing a pillowcase full of cash.
Morale of the story: Stay inside, as close to the remote as possible, at all times. Let your old lady walk the pooch. She’s the one who pets it anyway.
Nice job.

Henry James, Frank O’Hara never left us. This has the understatement of James plus the punch of O’Hara wrapped in one package. Fantastic.
