Down and Out
Graham had everything going for him; he had a great wife, a great house, flash expensive cars, his business was going well overall he had a great life. Well that was last year, today no one knows were he is. People say he moved to Chicago others say he is living on the streets and others say he died from a heart attack. It all started to go down hill last July…
In May last year Graham’s wife broke the news to him that she was pregnant. Graham was over the moon. He couldn’t wait to become a father. He never had much of a father figure in his life. His father had left him, his mother and his younger sister when Graham was five and his grandfather died two years later when he was seven. The family had never been that well off and they just barley survived on his mother’s wages. From an early age Graham had been working to help pay the bills. It was from here he promised himself to become a successful businessman and have plenty of money and to never go back to the ways of the life when he was a child. Graham promised Khym (his wife) that their child would have the best possible start in life. However Graham found out a couple of months later that the child Khym was bearing wasn’t even his. By the time Graham had discovered that Khym had run away with the child’s father to Chicago and taken all the money form their joint account. Graham was heart broken he couldn’t believe the love of his life could betray him like that. He couldn’t care less about the money all he wanted was Khym back. From then on Graham didn’t seem to care anymore. He isolated himself from everyone, he didn’t pay that much attention to the business and didn’t realise how much trouble his company was in. It took awhile for Graham to come back to reality and come back to work were there was bad news waiting for him.
