What if you discovered your "enemy" had been secretly helping you?
I'm not going to specify what sort of enemy nor if the help helped them at all. So many options...

An enemy that really isn’t an enemy … intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThey're acting like an enemy, so...
DeleteThen they're doing a really poor job of it! It would be kind of of them to care enough.
ReplyDeleteBut they're not taking advantage of the help. Questions there.
DeleteWell, I think that is special and I would have to eat some humble pie. Reminds me of Joan Crawford who has been vilified as a Child abuser although many question it today. I have read enough about her to know she was one I would not want to know due to her insecurities and jealous issues plus she has major OCD. All that being said, when she died, it was found that she paid for anyone needing surgery who were too poor to afford it and she paid for their hospital stay. She never told anyone about this.
ReplyDeleteSome people keep that sort of thing secret. I can kind of understand why.
DeleteI am naive enough to think I have no enemies.
ReplyDeleteAs a story idea, then.
DeleteThat's good way for an enemy to mess with your mind, especially as the enemy leaked that information so you were sure to find out. I'd be suspicious. After all, it's my enemy!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, of course the enemy leaked the info. I hadn't considered that...

DeleteGreat premise, and I would be totally fooled.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend perhaps?
ReplyDeleteExcept it's the enemy doing the helping here. Or is it help?
DeleteThe old saying "Keep your friend closer and your enemies a lot closer.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
I'd be appreciative of the help, but at the same time wondering what's in it for him/her. Wouldn't let my guard down with that one.
ReplyDeleteNo, definitely not.
DeleteI'd be shocked and then humbly apologize for whatever I might've done to them when I thought they were my enemy and also thank them for secretly helping me out.
ReplyDeleteWho knows? Perhaps it's all part of a nefarious fan.
DeleteHelping me with what? An early death? Once an enemy, always an enemy.
ReplyDeletePerhaps...
DeleteI would hope that I could put my feelings aside enough to thank them but at the same time I would wonder why they were helping
ReplyDeleteThat is the question.
DeleteThat could be interesting, because it might mean the enemy isn't an enemy after all and could be an ally, or they're playing some sneaky long game, lol.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of that old adage that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But your question puts in an interesting twist with the anonymity. My mental wheels are turning. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it.
