James sighed softly as he stared at the photograph. He had had it all.

Once.

A beautiful and sophisticated wife, lovely children, the finest food and wine money could buy. The perfect life, surrounded by family and friends.

When had it all gone so wrong?

James didn't know, all he knew was he had nothing and he was alone in the world. His wife had left with the children, taking their friends and as much money as she could secure.

He smiled bitterly, so much for the good life. He had had it all and now, who would want him?

You broke Lester!

I hope he still has the mammoth for company...

Um, yes, yes I have (for now).

He has, but I'm sure he got more than the mammoth for company.

Thanks for reading.
