Crime doesn't pay....

story by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Oct 09, 2018

"It was my first, and only mistake, I'd seen it coming but just couldn't stop myself.
How careless, and stupid of me!...and being found guilty I had to accept the rules, and unavoidable punishment, which was a spell in jail...... While I served time,
I painfully thought...if only I'd thrown a five, instead of a lousy four!...but what
really hurt me the most was...the fact that I wasn't even allowed to pass GO,
and pick up my bloody £200!"...
