One man’s story of having it all, but in the end having nothing.
There was a time…That is what keeps going through my mind as I sit in the most uncomfortable chair I have ever encountered. The chair I have come to know as the chair from hell. Sitting and watching as the cool evening fog slowly engulfs the fern covered clearing that I call my front yard. Its getting closer and closer to my 60th birthday and except for the scars of time, I have nothing to show for a lifetime of living my dreams. Nothing left of the over 50 million dollars that I spent my life stealing and spending as fast as I could. Nothing but memories, some great stories and this uncomfortable chair from hell. No friends, no money and no one that even wants to hear the stories. But, there was a time.
Let me tell you about that time.
Before I take you down my 50 million dollar trail I will need to stretch my legs and let some feeling back into my sore ass that has been drained by this damn chair. Its getting a little brisk now and the fog is getting thicker and heavier as it sinks closer to the ground. There is a slight mist in the air and the sounds of the woods say that the darkness of night is almost here. For those of you who have never been in the woods at night, it is similar to night in the city in many ways. Both are equally frightning in the dark. Both have thier predators that come out to feed on the weak under the cover of darkness. I wait each night for someone to come from the darkness and take me away. I don’t know anymore if they are going to come… But there was a time.
That is all for today. The chair from hell has done its job. I have suffered enough for today. However I will tell why I choose the path I took. It was for the fun, the glory and the money. Mostly for the money.
If you would like to hear more of the story let me know you like it. I will take you down a path of sex, drugs, lies, money and even darker things. Because…There was a time.
