Comment from Carolyn Dooley
My youngest son found one of those devils. He would not listen to me. He did not believe she was going out on him. Thankfully, he moved on and remarried. Some people will act nice until they hook you. Thank you for sharing. You are lucky your story was fiction.

You left me laughing out loud at this one. You did a great job with this piece. Very clever use of the words and I loved the twist at the end. All the best to you.

Comment from NANCY V. FORREST
Very nicely done. The surprise ending actually had an element of suprise and the metaphor works straight through the story. The photo is a great accompaniment

Comment from rspoet
This is an excellent story with a good twist at the end.
Names can be deceptive, like poker hands.
Seems he got what he wanted, but didn't realize outside appearance
can also be deceptive. I think she gave him a higher hand on purpose.
Never trust a devil.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.

Haha, I loved this fresh take on 'be careful what you wish for' - it's lots of fun. Clearly written throughout and I enjoyed the twist in the tale :-)

Excellent story. Good theme-'be careful what you wish for.' I would give the lady a name. Saw all words required. Good luck in the contest. A difficult challenge, which you did good.
