Confessions of an Opium Eater

I have often been asked how it was and through series of steps , that i became an opium eater . Was it gradually ,tentatively , mistrustingly as one goes down a shelving beach into a deepening sea and with a knowledge from the first of the dangers lying on the patch .

I started became an opium eater since i was 10 years old because my father at that time , was an opium trader . During that time , life was hard and my family barely survive with one dish a day
So , i tried taking opium and asked my friends to try since i tried it and nothing happpened to me
My folks reminded me not to tried it , there was a saying that ' once you try it , forever you will addicted to it ' . I ignore what the saying was because i tried an nothing happen to me .

After 10 years down the road , i followed my father footsteps and became an opium trader . Therefore i earn as much as my father used to earn . So i am not quite stable to support myself with the monthly expenses because my income was not much . I thought through about what my life was going to be with no money . Suddenly and idea struck my head , i planned with my colleague to rob a money launderer house nearby our village .

Around 2am in the morning , everyone was asleep soundly . We took this oppurtunity to sneak into the money launderer house and compiled all his valuables in our bag . We sat at an enclosed area where no one lives and half the valuables by two . Both of us earn quite sum of money and we separated and act as if we have not known each other so that no one would suspect that we have done the house-breaking .

Nobody in our village suspected our house-breaking and therefore we had all the money by our own .

  1. That was an interesting take on the title! I never knew that people ate opium though.

    Anyway, generally good content although I probably would not have written the last two paragraphs. I prefer it when it was focused on your opium habit (but then again, that is just me). If you re-read your work, you would notice that you used the word "try" several times in the first two paragraphs - considering looking for alternatives?
