A man cheats on her husband and is caught with her lover. The reactions of the cuckold are a bit exaggerated and practiced in the basement of their home. Will Elyse survive her husband's erratic behavior? What about Dallas, her lover? Nice dark tale about hot love turned into boredom. It's a very intriguing read and you definitely want to know how this sick story ends. Recommended!

This was definitely a quick and dirty story! This short story is definitely short and there’s nothing wrong with that! This one was roughly only 25 pages long, becoming my shortest short story yet!
We follow a wife, Elyse who once laughed at her husband’s words “If you cheated on me, I’d kill you.” Until one day she finds herself going after a chance to have an affair with a stranger. However, she’s caught by her husband and quickly realizes those words that seemed endearing once before were actually a threat he meant fully. Will Elyse be able to escape his wraith?
From the start, for me, it was apparent how it’ll end. However, even with knowing this, I was still captivated by the details that occurred. I can’t say I feel sorry for our main character. If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know I’m very against cheaters. That being said I was still shocked by the events that played out as well as the ending we face.
This was definitely a great fast-paced read! I read it in one sitting. I loved all the details we see. It was easy to imagine everything. I think if you enjoy short stories and are a fan of thrillers, and are afraid of a little gore, I highly suggest reading this one!
