Invitation to a Former Girlfriend's Wedding
A novella of life-changing servings
Fred Schäfer
Synopsis

This novella covers two genres, fiction and nonfiction. An elderly man, Tony, with American, German and Australian nationalities, tells his story: how he receives a wedding invitation from a former girlfriend that he hadn't seen and heard of for decades. This invitation creates emotional upheaval in his life, but also turns his life into a massive challenge. His former girlfriend sends him a photo of herself. She looks beautiful and sexy. He contemplates attending the wedding. But first he has to lose fifty five pounds, that's twenty five kilograms. That's how he sees it. He not only wants to attend the wedding, he also wants to make love to his former girlfriend, just once more.

At this point the nonfiction part of the story kicks in. Tony tells the reader how he goes about trying to change himself from an old, fat, ugly and sick looking man into a young looking, slim, handsome and healthy man. However, there is one major problem. He doesn't have a lot of time. The wedding date is his deadline.

At first, Tony develops his own weight loss approach. The approach shows positive results, but it doesn't work nearly fast enough. He needs help and finds it in the form of a well-known movie celebrity, Clint Eastwood. The famous actors tells him what to do.

By combining his own approach with Clint Eastwood's advice, Tony introduces the reader to a weight loss life style that most readers would regard as the most sensible and most convincing approach they had ever heard of. But did it actually enable Tony to achieve his goal? To get rid of fifty five pounds prior to the wedding? This shall not be revealed here.

The reader now returns to the fictional part of the novella and finds out what happens as far as the wedding and Tony's sexual intentions are concerned.

Finally, there is one major new development. A development of such magnitude that it changes Tony's life to an extent he could not even have imagined prior to the wedding invitation.
