Note

E. Z. Riter posted this story to ASSM.  At that time he said he was 
not the author and that he did not know who the author was.  A few 
days later in a post to ASSD he said "the author probably is 
Alcibade".


Summary

After losing a game of Scrabble to his wife, Peter lets her call the 
shots for a while.


Commentary

The first one-third of the story was great.  It was tense, 
suspenseful, and arousing.  The characters were not great, but they 
seemed realistic.  

The last two-thirds of the story, unfortunately did not measure up.  
A new character is introduced, William, and boy is he a talker.  He 
drones on and on.  Peter's narration leads me to believe that he was 
not too terribly wild about William either.

The author did such a good job with the first one-third of the story.
I was shocked by the last two-thirds.  The whole mood changed.  The 
change was a horrible choice, in my opinion.


Judgment

This was not a good story, but the first one-third of it is 
definitely worth reading.
