The story begins with a short prologue that starts in 1976. This is the opening paragraph to Chapter 1, in modern day where Libby is busy planning lessons. 

This is an excerpt from chapter two, (before Libby gets a lift home in the Ferrari). She has just had a tour of the stately garden, when her have-it-all Sister-in-Law offers her coffee in the new designer kitchen. 

This is another piece of work I did for Hale. This is version 10, and has been reduced from 1286 words to just under 750 and has recently been sent to a flash fiction competition. 

I, originally, wrote this for the Hale writing group I attend. The tree is real (my friend and I run past it in a magnificent local park in the early mornings!), the accident is based on a real life experience (that took the life of a childhood friend), the rest is 100% fiction. 

The end of Chapter two, where Libby gratefully accepts a lift home off her rich, celebrity ex-footballer brother, in his brand new Ferrari California.
