No More Sister of Mine

The day I finally saved enough for a house down payment, my sister fell to her knees, begging me.

"Please, if you don't help me pay off this twenty grand, I'll kill myself!"

She sobbed hysterically, swearing she would never touch gambling again.

In a moment of weakness, I emptied out my entire life savings and cleared her debt.

Yet barely a month later, loan sharks showed up at my doorstep, demanding another thirty grand.

My boss fired me on the spot without letting me explain.

My landlord kicked me out into the street that very night, claiming my ruined credit made me a liability.
