Here are my six sentences
Douglas ran his fingers through his chestnut brown curls and sighed.
“But you promised Douglas.” Nancy whined.
“I know, I know, but what do you expect me to do love?”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever, I hate this place!”
Douglas winced as Nancy stormed from the kitchen, slamming the door and stomped up the stairs.
Awwwww, poor Douglas lol. Nancy is one of them trophy wives, and when she doesn’t get her way, Douglas ends up on the sofa lol. She wants one of those swanky new apartments down on the river, but Douglas is running out of dosh, and fast…..she’s bleeding him dry.

So what should Douglas do? Which in my reckoning probably isn’t what he will do
Ah, the problems those trophy wives have! Douglas probably should try to reason with her, unfortunately her reasoning capabilities are not what got her into his bed …
Have fun with this one! It sounds interesting.
Thanks Kirsten
I’ve got a few ideas on which way it could go.

Get rid. Lol she’s one of those caring wife’s
when it gets tough she doesn’t want to know. But then, maybe he knew what he was getting when they got married. Lol hope you expand this one

Thanks Sam
I think he knew what he was getting into too! Some men are idiots when it comes to women
Xx
Douglas is too weak. Running his fingers through his hair, and wincing! What is he like? He should get rid of her.
He should get rid of her Maddie, but if he did, there wouldn’t be a story
Xx
OK. Buy a flat over looking the river and push her off the balcony into it. Ah, but then that’s not a romance is it? x
Ha ha ha, I like THAT Maddie
Xx
I think Douglas should do something nefarious and possibly criminal in order to raise the cash
Oh, definitely Zoe!

Vicki … you could have a major change or turn-around with either Nancy or Douglas. Either he has to grow a backbone and challenge her values … or something can
Thanks honey
I’d love to think Douglas would grow a backbone, but I’m not sure…..I guess there is only so far you can be pushed eh
Xx
Ooops … something devastaging can happen and she’ll change. Good set-up
Nancy change? Nooooo, I don’t think that’s gunna happen somehow
Thanks honey xx
I think Nancy should watch Oprah- have an aha moment and ephipany – get a job and get the apartment she wants and take Douglas with her and then Douglas will not have to change and will be rewarded for being a good guy
Ha ha ha, oh come on LouAnn, you know I don’t do happy stuff like that
It’s funny though isn’t it, I’ve only written a couple of hundred words on this storyline and I already don’t like Nancy lol
Xx
I think I was playing the part of devil’s advocate here – I could tell you do not like Nancy. lol – but think about it–would that not be a good twist and you could turn David into the bad guy (it is David isn’t it?)
sorry I came back to your blog to check – Douglas – keep his name Douglas and turn him into a bad guy – after all he married her because she was a trophy and this is not all that laudable
Ahhhhh, very good point
And this is why I’ve been told that my short stories have predictable endings *slump*
I was thinking along the lines that he would have to do some pretty drastic things to get the money to please her….there I go again, being predictable lol
Thanks honey
I LOVE hearing different people’s takes on my snippets.
Xx
She bumps him off for the life insurance?
Ha ha ha, trust you

What about Douglas gets into a shady deal and seems to sink deeper into the dark prompting the missus to check out her future options. Then, it turns out that Douglas was in with the wife of the beau – an equally smoking hot woman but with brains, dough and a husband who has cheated on her once too often? She gets rid of him, Douglas gets Nancy into prison – courtesy the wife of the other man since he lacks what is necessary to pull this off.
Else, he can do it underhand. After all, if he is being a bad ass – why not throw a somewhat crappy but totally innocent person into prison?
BTW, love the premise of the story.
Hi Kaiy, thanks for stopping by
Oooooo, very good….I like!
Thanks honey!
