Short Story Press Presents Running Into The Rain

Alan and Katie, a young couple married for not quite a year, have both been consumed with work and wrapped up in starting their lives ever seen their marriage. But now, they've been given the chance to escape their busy lives for the first time since their honeymoon. Katie's father, a big-time real estate broker, has offered them the keys to a beach house for a weekend, and the two jump at the opportunity. Katie's younger brother comes in to watch the house and family dog, and she and Alan strike directly for the beach, eager for a weekend of fun and sun.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has other plans, and strong thunderstorms follow the unlucky couple all the way to their destination and stick around. Unable to fully enjoy all the ocean has to offer, the two are stuck inside for the weekend. Now, the young couple has to find ways to enjoy themselves indoors, all plans for swimming and bikinis washed away under the torrential rainfall.

Will Alan and Katie make it work? Or will the weekend be a bust and will they return to their busy lives at the end of the weekend as desperate for love as they were at the beginning?
