STACH Short Story Contest #21: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SBD prize pool!

in contest •  7 years ago 

Sitting in the restaurant I wondered what life would have been for me, if I had done what I ought to. I needed help so bad; I need a place to say-like a home, I need a job- something that puts food in my table at least twice a day. It seems nobody knows I even exist. I've tried reaching out to family and friends but nobody listened to me.
Things were not always like this. Just nine months ago, I was swimming in money. I rolled with the elite, traveled around the world, stayed in the best of hotels. Family and friends all flocked around but I failed to do one very important thing, I failed to plan for the future. I saw my friends doing it but I resisted the idea. I was loving in the now, not caring much about the future.

It took six years for my funds to deplete completely. The fact was obvious but I was still living lavishly, hoping for some sought of financial miracle. But the truth is; you can't really when you've not sown. My life is in a financial mess now, I wish I had done things differently.
