10 Big Blazing Stars for a Hot story about a Hubby that encourages his wife to seduce his co-worker just to be knocked up. Gets an abortion, then divorced and goes to South America. Interesting story, I liked it. Seducing hubby's co-worker is always a Hot idea. Good Job. Thanks, Buster2U
Read/felt so very real after story moved beyond the unlikelihood. Nicely scripted in short space.
Be careful what you wish for. You might get it. Mistakes all around by all the characters.
This seems like a realistic view into what really happens when two people explore a fantasy. Mark was an idiot, he should have supported her after the "tryst." Perhaps they would still be together and have a kid or two. Instead, there are 3 sad people in the world.
Awesome job with this story. Sad that it won't score as well (exploring reality in LW category seems like a sure "2".)
I like the way you created a beautiful journey. Some out there with think me a sick person. But to me life has many journeys that are sad, and they can be nothing else. The emotions that come with those journeys become a part of you. Sometimes you pick them up and continue to move forward. Life will keep moving. You will have to bridge the emotions into your path and resolution. That is just a philosophy I have built into my journeys.
You created one such journey in this tale. The way you blended the tale was what I believe made it a vision to be seen. I think that is why I gave it an Excellent Read ⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating. I think you are a true storyteller (Bard)
Thanks for sharing your creations.
Keep Writing

This is so sad.
The irony is that the marriage might have survived if she had not killed the baby.
A baby, born or not, isn’t an “it@, a “thing”. It’s a person.
And 30 years later, what does she have to show for that night? No children and no husband. Was it worth it?
Wonderfully dark, long-term FAFO with a slice of Hemingwayesque existential ennui.
Not only was the husband a moron but the woman was even worse. Letting the "dinner" happen, knowing what her stupid husband wanted to happen with the workmate, and she wasn't on birth control! WTF was the matter with her? She never even insisted that he use a condom. Were we meant to feel sorry for her?
Uh Buster2U, I know things change quickly in the world today, but last I checked, Portugal was still in Europe, not South America.
Hard. Sad. But very good storytelling.
To Buster2U: Portugal is in Europe, not in South America!
Well written in an understatement....
You have a rare talent, around here....

This was truly raw and visceral. The interactions seemed very real, close, personal, and even plausible, for a highly improbable scenario. I really liked it, in style, pace, and timbre
Hey, Buster2U, you might want to get a geography book. Or maybe just use Google.
