Ex, Drinker

The ex-drinker He had stopped drinking looked remarkably well his wife was proud of him less so his friend who never saw him in the bar they sometimes met him in the street but his manners was formal. Promoted at work, bought a new car indeed his wife was proud of him as were everyone in his family They found him hanged in the shed his calm had been a deep depression, he had everything to live so why did he top himself? Not easy to say I think it was because no one had asked him if he was happy how he felt in this new life of sobriety which they all took for granted and ignored his silence. This role he had to play as a middle-class man in suit was painful, he liked drinking it made him dream and he wrote them down, but when he began the sober life his wife threw his dreams into the fire.
