The rent wasn't paid, and the eviction had started.

Daniel and his flatmate had split everything evenly for over a year.

Nothing had ever been late.

Then an email arrived from the landlord.

The rent hadn’t been paid.

Daniel had already transferred his half.

When he asked about it, his flatmate said it was a mix-up.

Said not to worry.

A week later, the warnings became formal.

Eventually, the truth came out — the rent money had been used to cover something else.

Ben ordered something expensive online. Later that day, he received confirmation it had arrived.

But the doorstep was empty.

That evening, a neighbour knocked — holding the box. Already opened.

Some items were missing.

The next day, Ben saw something familiar listed for sale online — same brand, same model, same colour.

The seller wasn’t anonymous.

She tried to move things forward,

She thought it would be O.K.

Tom was told it would be a small, informal gathering. When he arrived, both families were already there.

then she left...

One day, he came home to a quiet house.

Closets empty.

Drawers cleared.

She had already moved out.

When you think you are close friends,

and find out you're not.

His Friend just laughed.

James agreed to lend his car to a friend for a few days.

It felt like a simple favour.

Then the letters started arriving.
