Description
A Relationship, in Pieces - Three Short Stories (6670 words)
Relationships are balancing acts no matter what stage you are at or how long you’ve been with your partner. Whether long term, a first date night or simply a fleeting encounter - it only takes a wrongly spoken word or a misunderstanding for things to quickly deteriorate.
Each story in A Relationship, in Pieces contains characters at different periods of a relationship; a meeting between strangers, a first date and an inevitable ending that is apparent to all but those involved. These are the cautionary tales played out every night in cities around the world. If you have ever been in a relationship that hasn’t run entirely smoothly, your story may possibly be here.
Waiting in the 11th Arrondissement – A couple spend an evening in a Paris restaurant where an eavesdropping waiter takes pleasure in their argument, which ensues from being slightly too honest, slightly too early.
Running With the Bulls – A couple trapped in a long term make-up and break-up relationship look to the past to see if there is any way to save their future.
Strangers – A drunken night in London leads to a chance meeting between two strangers. But in a city of over seven million people, where being wary is considered a safety device, you should prepare for drama or lock yourself away.
*These stories also appear in the collection of short stories, All of Us With Our Pointless Worries and Inconsequential Dramas
