First sentence: It is early afternoon and I have just left my place of work for the last time. 
I am a 31 year old computer specialist and I am now walking the half mile up Bergholt Road to my semi-detached house.
My company car sits in the company car park and the keys are with my manager.
The reality is slowly sinking in that I have been made redundant after 10 years, 1 month and 2 days service.
Description: Ex-Colchester Royal Grammar School pupil Paul Pisces' life slowly descends into a web of computers, alcohol, alcoholism and depression.
The brothels of Amsterdam, however, provide some sexual excitement.
Eventually following redundancy he takes up sex tourism in the Far East to relieve the boredom.
A brief respite is encountered when he finds a job in San Francisco during the internet boom and bust fiasco but ultimately he returns to his alcoholic ways and books a flight back to Bangkok.
From here it is just a short coach ride to Pattaya and a short step to suicide with a shotgun.
Most of what follows is true.......
