THE STRAYS - A Love Story

 

THE STRAYS

 A Love Story

 From Linda Lee Greene Author/Artist

Shirley hides behind her mother’s leg in family photos; Sam hangs back on the playground; nobody sits next to Shirley on the school bus; Shirley is the last one chosen for the girl’s volley ball team; Sam sits alone in the school cafeteria; nobody asks Shirley to the prom; no friend ever visits Sam in his dorm room; Sam’s grandfather forgets Sam’s name at the family reunion; Shirley isn’t invited to her classmate’s parties; Shirley marries a known jerk because nobody else is interested; Shirley is “dropped” from the daily interoffice email; Shirley eats lunch alone; Sam goes to the movies alone; Sam gets stoodup on his first and only date; Sam is 29 and still living at his parent’s home; Sam sits in “his” recliner between his mom’s and his dad’s and they watch Turner Classic Movies; the “jerk” leaves Shirley for a younger woman; Shirley sleeps on “her” side of the bed and hugs her pillow; Shirley’s children never call; Sam waits in the car outside his dad’s barber, and again at his mother’s hairdresser; Sam takes his orphan nephew fishing; Shirley adopts a little dog and names her “Gracie”; Shirley still has her first Barbie Doll; Sam’s beer stein collection covers every table top and shelf in his parent’s house; Shirley puts out food and water for feral cats; Sam takes them in; Shirley gets a flat tire and pulls to the side of the road; Sam stops and removes the flat and installs the spare; Shirley gives him her phone number; Sam calls; Shirley answers; Sam moves his beer steins and recliner to her house; Sam buys Shirley a matching recliner; side-by-side, they watch Turner Classic Movies every night; Gracie and the cats curl up together on their big round rug.©
