The Player
Even before my short confinement at her majesty’s pleasure my downward spiral had begun. Previously I’d relished disposable income, spending it like water; property in London, a classic car.
My friends watched with barely hidden glee as a series of unfortunate coincidences caused my house of cards to tumble. They continued without me. Taxes were due, bills stacking up. I was drenched in debt.
I disregarded their scorn with optimism and took a chance. With a flick of the wrist my worries began to melt away. Double six, pass go, collect £200. I never did win that beauty contest though.

Haha! I always told my sister when she got the card that said she'd one second place in a beauty contest that the sad thing about it was she was the only contestant! (We're a lot closer now, though.)

And that should be "won". My brain went haywire, unless autocorrect did that for me.
