Running Away With Geraldo

I first met him when I was only twenty. I was in the psychic reading business carrying a radio when he flew in. He was wearing an amber dog collar, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated his spinal cord, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the radio down when he tore beside me. I guess he startled me, and I clumsily dropped the radio right by his feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to run away.

After stumbling apologies, he asked me to go to the novelty shop for a whiskey. I accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the novelty shop, I learned that his name was Geraldo, and that he was a wrestler. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a police officer.

I guess it was love at first run away. Some might say we had bags of popcorn in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. He was fourteen years younger than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still running away for each other.
