As I was putting my bare foot down on the ground, I saw it too late. The slug. I knew I was doomed. I thought of all the things I could have done different to prevent what was about to occur, but clearly it was not the time for regrets. It was a time to think of a happier place. A place where slugs don’t get underfoot. This is the second time in less than a year that I have done this. I should be set for life then, right?

The Relationship
Rob Semple
4.9 Stars (26 Reviews)
Genre: Humor & Entertainment | Short Stories

FREE for a limited time

“A peculiar thing happens to people after they turn forty; inhibitions fall away faster than hair follicles. Self-discovery becomes the rage, and formerly sane people run out to get tattoos, climb mountains, and traverse the country by motorcyle. The search for our hidden selves may lead to a career change or simply be for our own fulfillment, but one thing’s certain: if anyone thought we were crazy at twenty, take a look at us now… ”

Everyone dreams of finding their soul mate and experiencing the type of timeless love affair that can happen but once in a lifetime. For those that do, it’s more than just a relationship, it’s The Relationship. Here’s one man’s story: When a forty-something lifelong bachelor meets his equal in forty-something, Kathy, he finally learns the meaning of love, but this former lone wolf has a lot of catching up to do in the romance department, and it won’t come easy! “Sometimes, I went to bed with Brooke Shields and woke up with Burt Reynolds. It was nothing a single blade razor and a shot of Bailey’s in my coffee couldn’t rectify, but temporarily disconcerting nonetheless.”Told in linear fashion, The Relationship humorously chronicles a single couple from first meeting through the distant future, but primarily focuses on a month by month replay of their first year. Equal parts humor and romance, it’s a modern romantic comedy and a love story for the ages.

To the reader: There are no explicit sex scenes, nor is there foul language. There is plenty of innuendo though, and the book contains adult situations. This is a stand-alone piece, and probably best suited for Gen. X’ers, especially those that found love or are looking for love later in life, although I believe that both young and old will also enjoy it.
