"I knew there were problems in our marriage. We hardly spoke anymore, other than to argue, and I often volunteered for all the overtime work my boss could throw my direction to help keep me out of the house. Our failing relationship was a two way thing. I do love her though. It's just...We're going through a rough patch at the moment. I figured every couple has them. I decided to use my overtime money to take her on holiday. Just the two of us. Somewhere hot and exotic. Somewhere we could rediscover our love for each other. I just never knew she had already moved on. I never knew about him. Not until a friend told me...I don't know if I can win her back. I don't know if I want to either. First things first, though...I need to go and drag her away from his house." * * * * * A Short Story of love and betrayal from Matt Shaw - the author of 'Buried', 'Smile' and 'The Peter Chronicles'.
Author
Biography MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old. Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz. Favourite books "Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories" Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.
