Excerpt said:
I realized my wife is cheating on me. I took a moment to realize that this was the end of our marriage. All of our happy times, our foreign trips, and our romantic nights must have meant nothing to her. I put the phone down and went to the bathroom to freshen up while Jenny was still sleeping.
Haha. This is obviously a fake. The sound is pure fiction, and what I would consider bad fiction at that. A bunch of stereotypes, overly detailed descriptions, too much attention to not getting the reader lost. 50 shades of grey for men. Cheap script-writing to the top. Do you wonder why it's "a good read"? Well, it's just like a cheap scripted reality TV show. Everything is explained and fool-proof, they want to make sure you're following.
Style matters aside: If you're in emotional turmoil or have just gone through it a few days ago, no way would you be able to write such a long text. Nor would you pay such neurotic attention to details that are com-plee-tely irrelevant:
"She went to the bathroom and I heard her phone vibrate loudly since it was placed on the bathroom countertop."
Or this:
"Jenny was furious, she walked into the kitchen, got a bottle of water and slammed the refrigerator door."
Bleah.
I suspect the guy is a bored copywriter or blogger, and I guess he owned Reddit with his prank. Well, it makes a fun read for some, so he did his job well. Watch out for a follow-up, when it is suddenly "discovered" that he made it all up ....
