This is the story of Damurah from Tottenham who won thirty-five million pounds in the National Lottery.
It was a record prize, though he shared the jackpot with, if memory serves, a plucky optometrist from Chelsea.
Damurah was devout, had an obedient wife, and was longing to raise a family—insuperable poverty his only obstacle. But for him, a struggling student, whose name meant ‘sparkle of light,’ the windfall signaled an eruptive turn in an otherwise pitiable life.
But what would the future hold for someone with an embarrassment of riches?
This is the story of Damurah, student, husband, ISIS supporter.
That’s definitely worse than than Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen winning the jackpot! Seriously though, it was very thought provoking. Ordinary but disillusioned people need only a catalyst of any sort to change direction, and it’s not always on the right path….
The mind boggles…
Ouch
This caught me off guard–disturbingly realistic–Jim
Indeed! That last line was really a shocker. Great job, Prospero.
Oh god. I can’t even….
nice one! bearing in mind that loads of governments support ISIS (bearing in mind they re-branded themselves a few times) without lottery funding 🙂
