Eleven Miles from Home

By Jeremy Bursey

(overview)

Richard and Rachel stopped getting along months ago, but they continue to go out together to satisfy the one recreational interest they share. However, when misfortune steals that link away and leaves them stranded on the side of the road eleven miles from home, they must not only figure out what went wrong in their relationship but decide whether it's even worth saving.

(full description)

Love. Hate. Jet Skis. Two ex-lovers must play this shell game in the middle of nowhere. But who will win?

What happens when two people who used to date but can no longer stand each other get stranded together on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere?

Will they find reconciliation and rekindle their lost love? Or will they discover they truly have no business being in a relationship and call it quits forever?

Richard and Rachel used to date, a lot, not out of malice but because they genuinely liked each other. However, life has taken a turn for the mundane, and the spark they once shared has long since turned to smoke. They continue to meet once a week to satisfy the one activity they still enjoy together: jet-skiing. However, thanks to a miscalculation in judgment, the link they keep gets stolen, and as they wait for the means to return to civilization, they are forced to confront whether they should save whatever remains of their fragile relationship.

"Eleven Miles from Home" is an unflinching story about perception, realization, and the truth behind those relationships we thought were so great once upon a time. It’s the story of two people who must face the harsh reality that they’ve missed the mark, who bare their souls over what they discover about each other and themselves, and question whether their choices are sound.

"Eleven Miles from Home" is a story that forces us to think about our relational decisions and the reasons we delay the inevitable.
