Hello, everyone.

I've just finished writing a short story and I'd like to know if anyone would read it for me and give me some criticism.

It is a comedy piece (you know me) about a wife getting revenge on her husband. A murderous or evil heart is not required, but would be a plus.

The story is at http://www.expage.com/misscandle

I appreciate your help.

I liked it! My only criticisms: watch those run-on sentences; you could also tighten up the story a bit by going through it & deleting superfluous bits (for instance, in the second part, the line about the husband putting his legs under the table detracts--there would actually be more humor without it).

Thanks, Bunnicula!

Will check for superfluity tomorrow after a good night's sleep. This is only a first draft.

The run-on sentences are intentional, though. It is part of her character. She takes some getting used to!
