All Comments on 'The Green Green Grass of Home-DGH'

Up until then you had a very good and strong story. He should have been strong enough when she did that to realize she was mentally unstable and not capable of clear thought. Kill the asshole you bet, but the slut wife no. She needed mental help. Then again he could have saved bullets and killed them both in the act.

Please, keep up the good work. I enjoy your stories and look forward to more in the future. Thanks for sharing your talent...

As usual, I really enjoyed your story. You are one of my favorite authors at Literotica. Some of your stories make me feel sad, but I love to read them. Always check to see it you have anything new, just wish you posted more. Thanks

This story is very much in the theme of the song. They're both sad and romantic. I like DG Hear's themes.

A death penalty a month after the trial? We should be so lucky.

Thanks for participating in this invitational.

Regards, Jack

Outstanding interpretation of the song. Really well done and an enjoyable read. Thanks.

dg is by far the best author on literotica. before anyone can submit a story they should read dg hears story, at least one of them. U already have me waiting for u next one thanks

Ummm Cheeezy!

Now, THAT is one of the most uncommon stories I have ever seen in this venue. Great writing! Gut-wrenching, in come ways. Definitely well-written (and edited!). Kudos!

Another triumph. You do credit to your craft.

common sense,common sense,is there any in this crap.if you know she sick and she needs help why kill her.if you love someone so much get them help and not help your own ego.it was the writer ego that kill the wife,not the wife want him to kill her,that was bullshit.a lot of your stories got that darkside to it,like killing themselves and murders.

but I always find that a lot of them are am at the actions of the characters. If they don't like the actions, they don't like the story. To me this story is a good example. I will take the story on it's own merits. Even if I don't agree on killing the wife. It was a great little story.

Great as always

DGH, you are one of the very best. Usually (with most other writers) I find so many errors of grammar, execution, and style that I never bother with commenting on the story itself. But, your writing is almost flawless so therefore I feel a bit free to comment on the story. Two points: (1) I personally find it hard to believe that one could love a person so fully that one is able to terminate that person's life; (2) I (also personally) find reference to an afterlife little more than nonsense so once again I find it difficult to comprehend Myron's action. Killing Damon, though, is another matter entirely.

a woman with such honesty and integrity --- who would die to save a loved one --- would go and fuck some guy other than her spouse in some motel, OUT OF THE BLUE? <P>

"Kill me, dear beloved, I can't see you suffer so, with a gun in your hand like that.... Please, kill me, put me out of my misery, for having ruined you, us, like this, in a spur of the moment, when bad impulses took over... The Devil must have taken control of my sense for some minutes there, dear beloved; but know I loved you until you pull that trigger, which I demand you do! <p>

"I can't live with you, knowing what I did. So you must put me to death immediately; show me how much you love me! I will excitedly and anxiously wait for you up there." <p>

"Yes, dear beloved wife. I love you too much, to allow you to suffer with me, here on earth, with you knowing what you've done to us... so I agree with you. I'm gonna pull this trigger and your heart's gonna explode and you gonna die immediately; it won't hurt much, okay? I will join you as soon as I can, don't worry, dear beloved. I'll love you even more, UP THERE." <p>

Excuse me, but I have to giggle a bit here! LOL

He shoulda gut shot the bitch so she dies slow like her boy friend. And why the fuck would he want to be with her in the afterlife, that WOULD be hell.

Up to the hotel scene this was well written as are most of DG Hear's stories. But then it fell apart. As the husband and wife characters were developed up to that point, there was nothing to indicate either, or both, would do what followed. It was totally out of character, and this was never later explained. The reader could not bridge that gap. Even sci-fi has an element of believability, but here all believability flew out the window. Sorry, but reading it was a waste of time.

I thought a lot of readers might not like this story. It was one of the hardest stories I have every wrote. Sorry if you felt you wasted your time reading it. I always give my best.

I have know people my whole life that have done things totally out of character for them. Cheating, suicides, divorces to name a few. That is how it was with Mary. What she did was totally out of character for her. Not every ending is a happy one or does all the answers fall in place.

The story was about a man to be executed. Hard to end it lovingly. I thank you all for reading and commenting on it. Sorry if it didn't end the way you preferred. I ended the story the way I felt it.

With respect

DG Hear

You've done it again,DGH.A very fine,sad,story that I savored over several days,not wanting it to be over too soon.

DGH your stories have yet to waste my time. The effort you put into them is for our enjoyment I don't need to agree to get pleasure from them, plus many that I didn't agree with have made me think about them.

Thankyou.

...but it required a suspension of disbelief. It was a stretch for me to believe that Mary would even CONTEMPLATE cheating. Myron shooting her was a bit impulsive and NOT thought out. And to top it, I do not believe there is any state where you can plead guilty so you can receive the death penalty. There are so many safeguards to prevent a mistake that I think Myron would have to work much harder to end up on death row. --

STILL, it was a great read, well written, and a nice story. In the end, what else can one ask for? -- The Cobbler

I think this is the only story I've ever read that has made me so tearful, thank you for such a brilliant story, keep up the good work.

This starts as a beautiful love story, then suddenly changes. The adultery of Mary was inconsitent with the character which the early story created for her. Is it really possible to love someone too much? I tend to doubt it.

No one knows what caused Mary to be unfaithful (yes, I realize that it is just a story but it has probably happened several times). Mr. Brock did the right thing, all the way. At his age he would have been miserable and so would Mary have been. Such is life, I am sorry for them both. I wish the asshole could have been in misery longer before dying, he thought of his wife and kids way too late to expect mercy. I have nursed those shot in the belly, most of them live in misery a long time and then die. I personally have not known one to recover although I am sure there are quite a few that do. I nursed several (three, I think) that lingered and died. They were all assholes, as I remember.

Very good,

and truely the end twist made me mad.

Second story I've come across on this site that I've given five stars to.

A truly sad tale. Thanks. Five stars.

....and wonderfully told. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you. 5*

He stayed totally in character - I can believe a man doing what he did why he did - he might have made arrangements to get out on bail then done himself in - too much risk of life in prison these days.

She was also a real life possible character - she was a bit young to be deep into the menopause issues but not impossible and it DOES make some women do crazy shit - it just does - hormones raging, the wrong medication, no meds etc. the natural vulnerability many of us suffer as we age - both parents dead, cancer in her family - lot's of stresoers that become unbearable. A stupid action is possible. then the recriminations and death wish would fit - HOWEVER - in a RL situation - therapy and fixing her meds etc could have helped live past it and recover.

The author chose this route and it works - very thoughtful, very painful, and painfully possible.

good writers can do this. TK U MLJ LV NV

Such a sad ending but very believable.

this was the darkest story of yours I've read showing another facet of your talent. My only criticism was the quick execution. Usually they're dragged out for years

the worst ending and conclusion to any DG Hear story I've read and I'm a big fan. However no one gets the death penalty within a month of the trial. There are always automatic reviews and delays.

His hopes of being with Mary may not happen as I suspect his final destination will be a very hot place

he won't see her anytime soon since he is going to hell.

Thanks for the offering.

and to be entertained...this is all about retribution and murder....hated it...

I am sorry but this story will give me Nightmares or the runs! Sorry but this is

Wrong with a capital W!

PLEEEEEEEEEZE don't post laxative medication! Yuk!

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Love you all! GREG.

OH 30% OF READING ENJOYMENT 70 % FOR THE SONG

Crap! Absolute crap!

Mental plot.

Dammit to hell. Another depressing as hell story in the romance section. Romance is supposed to be happy, and uplifting, not depressing as all hell. This story makes me want to go step out in front of a bus, or something. What a freakin letdown.

What is missing is why Mary went with the sleaze bag.Also why did Myron not stop her going to meet him.

Wrong ending to a decent story.Mary would have used her airline experience to ward off Damon and even then Myron would have used his love and influence to stop it happening and find out how it got that far.

She would not have jumped in the sack with a seducer.

I don't know why is the copout writers use when it just won't fit.

If she felt that bad about at any point she could have stopped it.

She in the hotel room and telling him she shouldn't do it but she didn't try and give him a smack and get out.

She betrayed as good a marriage as you can have because she didn't care enough not to.

An explanation why Mary was with Damon would have been nice.Without the story is nothing.

Because it seemed like he was forcing her with some kind of Blackmail.

Great story of true love, sadly it ended badly, how stupid was he. He said that he loved her so much and was prepared to forgive her. If he had shown her the compassion, love and forgiveness that he professed that he had, then she would have ended up loving him more and they would have lived happily ever after.

I slept fitfully all night thinking of this story (it shows how good it is) I realised how stupid the ending was and his illogical thinking. If he loved her like he said, once he knew that she was going to cheat then why didn't he just stop her from cheating and find out why. It all seems so stupid that he let her go ahead and ruin a loving relationship.

Hi DGH,

Sorry, but this one didn't work for me.

I was not taken by emotion, and I found the situations a little too extravagant.

On the other hand, congratulations, you have invented a new concept that I did not know and which made me laugh a lot.

The monthly meeting of businessmen with their whores/escorts of the month to compare the novelties (new silhouette address, new breasts, new buttocks...)

It made me relate to the guys getting together with their new tuned cars to see the new options.

A masterpiece that keeps the reader riveted to the story-line, the plot, the weaving of the events and issues right to the end.

I would have liked to know why Mary was with Damon.

Did you ever go to school and realize you had a paper due fourth period and you hadn't finished it? So you threw shit on paper during other classes or at lunch. That's about the level of stupidity that the last 2 pages of this reads like.

------

Mary is late 40's so Myron was pushing 70. “We didn't have sex QUITE AS OFTEN due to my age and her mood swings. Don't get me wrong here. We still made love once a month or so but that was a cut back from our twenty-five years of marriage.” AYFKM? I would consider less than twice a week a ‘cut back’. For once a month I’m not sure my dick would remember how to get up.

Did Myron have early onset dementia? Wednesday eve while Mary is at an art exhibit, Rita calls to tell him she can't go to the opera with Mary and Damon. Mary comes home horny and fucks him and that doesn’t raise a red flag. Friday she is leaving to go to Rita’s and then to the opera and spend the night. He knows Rita is out of town but doesn’t say anything. It takes him hours to decide to go to the hotel to find out the truth (with his gun, he didn’t know why).

The dialog doesn’t give any clue as to why she decided to cheat, but she is already remorseful. Then her request to die because she can’t live with her mistake, and his willingness to do so is just plain stupid. I don’t think it was menopause; I think she had a brain tumor.

Why the f**k didn’t he just talk to her before she left the house, that’s what a sane, rational man would have done?

Good story. I do not think most of your critics are familar with the CW song "green green grass of home" . If they were, they could expect the ending. Expecting realism or rational behavior in fictional Stories is unrealistic.

By the way Bobby Bare had the best version of the song. In the early 1960's Tom Jones had an international hit with the song and Porter Wagoner had CW hit with it.
