      BACK TO SCHOOL

      The rain lashed out at me as I climbed out of my car. The strong cold wind howled and the force made me shiver. I wouldn’t normally be out on a day like this but today was a special day. Today I decided I would return to my old school to re-live some happy memories. I had some happy times there with all my friends and all the games we used to play. Not that I would see anyone at the school now because it had been closed for years. All the children, all the teachers would have moved on to new jobs and new futures. I had the same as them – a job in a bank, good prospects, a beautiful wife, and a healthy son. What more could a man ask for?

      Those were happy times and cherished memories. Sadly, memories are all I have left now. I lost my job, my wife, my son, and my self-confidence. I remember the day it all went wrong. My friend Rick told me how I could make a lot of money. He told me how I could transfer money from the bank into a special account. The bank would never detect the transfer and they would never discover where the money had gone. We could transfer millions into this special account. Then transfer a bit at a time to our accounts. No one would be any the wiser.

I had crippling debts: credit cards, the mortgage, a home improvement loan, and there were a few friends I had borrowed money from because of my gambling addiction. I saw this as an easy way out. Not only would my debts be cleared I would be able to take my wife Sara to Spain for a holiday. And my son Simon would get that new computer he’d
