    Hi Mark, I had to stop the video and say that, anyone who watches people on TH-cam should already know, these commercials/ads are inserted by TH-cam not be the presenter. I am sorry that this remark was made to you. You are a treasure and we love your tales, stories, recounts of murderers getting away. You are very appreciated!!❤Kathleen

      Mark, one way you can stop commercials on your channel is to demontize your videos but, why do that? If people want to not see commercials while watching you then they should install AD BLOCK it's free. I installed it and I watch videos commercial free. P.S. When are you going to do They Got Away With Murder: O.J. Simpson case?

      @@mrblowhard2u Mark has said he isn't monetized. As of 2021, YT changed its policy and allows paid advertisers to place ads any place they think they can make money, whether the channel owner likes it or not. You're forced to be a billboard. Half of the channels I watch are not monetized, and I have noticed the ads increasing in volume. I have used AdBlocker (Chrome now has its own version and is very good), but if you're watching via a tablet or smartphone, you can't block the ads.

    I finally got the time to listen to these wonderful short stories! I didn’t have any advertisements, but the first two stories were marked “Private video” and wouldn’t play. It is absolutely You Tube doing this, and many things TH-cam does remains inexplicable!
    I very much enjoy these stories, and I especially enjoy the character development. We meet some very interesting people!

    Superb. I found this very relaxing and absorbing - perfect for an Autumn evening. I really enjoyed the way that Jennifer was thinking ahead and imagining all kinds of scenarios. The scene in the kitchen where Jennifer is ruminating over her crime, talking to Charlie and unsure about the microwave settings is so well done that I feel as though I'm watching a film. I get a cinematic vision of the scene playing out before me in my head. The descriptions and conversations of the other girls in the office is razor-sharp. Excellent!

    Another Gem!! I do like the title of this great short story. In general, the title provides a unique identifier for the short story, it should grab the reader and make them wonder what the story is about. Because the knot has no beginning and no end, this title symbolizes the unending cycle of the main character's complex emotions - which have 2 sources: the desire for revenge on the one hand, and envy, jealousy, and competitive urge on the other. This brilliant short story shows how compelling a well-constructed narrative can be. This story has a great ending. Thanks for sharing, Mark!

    Am I evil? I did want her to get away with it. If it were real life and not just a story, I wouldn’t though.
    Good story.

      I'm not sure that Jennifer wanted to get away with it either.....she did leave the strychnine in her desk drawer.

      Thank you, Olive - no you are not evil! In the first draft of this story I had her get away with it...

    Compulsive listening. Hard day at work, curtains shut, headphones on, window open with the breeze. Utter quality.

    Love that shirt, Mark! Where'd you get it? Also, there's too many smaller channels for TH-cam to reliably run the AI to filter our little space here out of the ad money making machine, I gather, but you'd bet most companies would want to pull ads off any channel no matter its size if its content breaks social mores to the extent that it prompts some offended individual to manually flag it. Unfortunately, though, you'd lose the chance of gaining readership randomly (rather than from your larger channels) if that happened.

      Thank you - I don't know where it is from! I imagine it was a present off someone. The vagaries of social media and TH-cam are a mystery to me - I do my best to navigate them but I am often confounded in my comprehension of them!

    TH-cam Premium eliminates ads. Unless the content creator embeds them in the video itself. Very annoying.

    So I guess both women were lonely cat ladies haha😅 it kind of makes me feel bad because I am a cat owner now and since my husband died I do talk to my cat just like the women in the story😅 but you did surprise me with the ending!

      I am sorry to learn of your loss - there is nothing wrong with talking to your cat, in my view! It seems a very human thing to do, to talk to animals.

    And they know you have no control over them so they shouldn't bother you about itI If they don't want ads they should get TH-cam premium!

    So go premium to get rid of ads. Not the creator fault

      Ah - I guess that is TH-cam's intention - to force people to get YT Premium... Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it, Cindy, and hope the new one will suit you too! Take care.
