Wheels

His whole life was about wheels.

When he was 5, he wanted the remote-control monster truck that he’d seen when he’d gone shopping with his mum. When he was 10, he wanted the tricycle he’d seen in a shop when he’d been out for the day with his father. When he was 15, he wanted help from his parents to buy the second-hand motorbike he’d seen advertised in the local paper. When he was 20, he wanted to do enough overtime work at the factory for him to save enough money to buy a second-hand car from the local car yard. When he was 25, he wanted to join the gang that was making money by robbing houses at night, in order to buy a new car. When he was 30, he wanted to be the wheelman for the gang that carried out bank robberies around the country. When he was 35, he wanted to explain that knocking down and killing the panicking woman who ran out of the bank that had been robbed, when he took off in the getaway car with the robbers, was an accident.

When he was 40, he wanted to get out of prison.

… and he was left wanting.
