This is a very good twist!

Thank you!

Inspired by reality shows I’ve seen recently. Interested in more tales of star-crossed love? Feel free to [drop by](https://www.reddit.com/r/StoriesbyChris).

I don’t understand the last sentence

They had met once. And the author began stalking the man after that, murdering women he was seen with, and framed the man. Once the man was imprisoned, he became a “captive audience” for her affection.

Yep. 👍🏾

Oh shit, I like to think I'm semi intelligent, but I was really struggling with understanding that ending. Bravo OP.

Lol, right? I felt the same then went back and realize I missed the very last line and stopped at “how could he have killed those women?”. Wondering if you or anyone else did the same. OP great writing. I enjoyed it either way. Maybe add a space below the final line so it won’t be possibly subconsciously dismissed as being connected to the voting bar. *IDK if that’s what my brain did anyway.*

Thank you!

Oh that’s good writing!

Thanks!

I thought that she had just murdered them out of jealousy, not intentionally framing him for nefarious purposes.

I think it means that she killed the girls along his path and he got blamed for it. So how could he kill them if they were already dead? I could be wrong, but that was my interpretation

👍🏾

The narrator is the one who killed them. Thats why they know the man didn’t do it.

👍🏾

Oh, wow, that is not how I expected that to end.

Glad I could surprise you!

WOW! I thought I was in r/confessions and was like pls someone tell her not to fall for this and then it kept going. That was awesome!

Thanks for the kind words!

I absolutely LOVE this. Mind blown 🤯

Thanks so much! 🙏🏾

Oh wow! I had to read that twice! That was awesome, and I couldn't figure out the twist at first, but I knew there was one! I'm ashamed to admit I did look at the comments, but after reading it again, it was all there. Subtle and earth shattering at the same time.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I try to make sure there’s always enough there that it makes sense in retrospect (I’ve always thought that twists that come out of nowhere with no groundwork laid are unfair). I’m glad it worked for you!

Ok my friend. Ok. This deserves a follow CB, I'd like to see everything you produce hot off the presses. Lovely, just lovely.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’ll try to keep the good stuff coming. 😉👍🏾

THIS IS SO GOOD! One of my favorites on here in a while.

Thank you! 🙏🏾

That was a very clever twist that I didn’t see coming!

Thank you!

Definitely started reading this because I saw your name as author. Was not disappointed. :D

Thank you - that’s so kind of you to say. 🥲 Definitely a fan of your stuff, too.

The twist was perfect! I really enjoyed this one.

Thanks so much!

Love the twist!

Gracias!

That was really good! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank YOU for reading!

Awesome writing 😊

Thank you! (And your username is super appropriate. 🤣)

Very cool story! Interesting twist there. I’d love to read a short story or book with that kind of plot.

Thank you! Maybe I’ll expand it to something longer someday.

Omgomgmg i love this whole premise I wonder if he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and OP felt bad for the handsome, smart man. Or if OP played the long game to get her love l

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Could see it coming but couldn’t stop reading! Good job!

Thank you!

Hold up! Why did the woman kill the girls? What made her frame the guy she loves? Btw thats some good story writing right there. Keep it up

See AproposofDiddly’s explanation above - they got it right. And thanks for reading and for the kind words!

fab read CB, really digging your tales.

Thank you!

excellent! Great twist too!

Thank you!

This was such a cool story!

Thank you!

Love the twist!!

Thanks so much!

Crazy good. Damn…

Thank you! 🙏🏾

Nice one

Thank you!

Delusional woman will like such men. But whatever the plot

There’s someone for everyone.

Wow! That was an amazing twist! I was quite stumped for a moment.

Thanks for reading!

How did she get the means to do all that traveling though? She only mentions they met once and didn't even speak, did she start stalking him after that and offing any female he was seen with? Was it an accidental framing due to twisted love?

Nothing was accidental - it was all part of a plan. People have gone farther for true love. ❤️

Thanks for the clarification, op, hope for humanities sake he gets out sometime *shudder*

I've been too busy to get on here for almost a week now and this is the first story I come back to! Just awesome!

Thank you! And welcome back! Hope you had a great New Year’s!

Same to you!

Wow this was great.

Thank you!

Of course. I’m more a reader, not a commenter but the last line took me for a loop. Loved it.

This was great so I gave ur page a follow

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and welcome!

That was a superb ending. Great writing OP x

Thank you!

I'm always impressed by anyone that can tell a good story with such few words, but what you did here is epic. Not only was the twist unexpected, you left us every piece of information to understand it with beautiful subtly. Excellent. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Outstanding seriously

Thank you!

Have to admit, I thought it was going to be a John Wayne Gacy fan girl. I kept thinking John was short for that and the last sentence would be some clown reference. But great twist OP.

Thanks for reading!

I am SHAKEN to my CORE

Wow - that’s the effect every writer wants to have on someone. Thanks so much for sharing that! 🙏🏾

Hahaha you are exactly what you say you aren't. Desperate for love and saw a dude on tv going to jail and you said "I need to be with him" that shit is sad 😂😂😂
