Introduction

This is for L.C. Schäfer's "Ye Olde Dollar Challenge Malarkey" challenge that you can read about here:

The music is "Heaven Up Here" by Excho and the Bunnyment

The prompt is this Terry Pratchett quote:

Heavenessence

I am not sure what happened, whether I won the pools, the lottery or some relation left me millions, but life is good now.

I have everything I want, my fridge is full, I don't drink but I have every alcoholic drink that any guest may wish to partake of.

My mansion has twenty bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and god knows how many reception rooms. There is a cinema, swimming pool and jacuzzi, so it is perfect for weekend impromptu parties. I have staff to cook and keep the place clean, a chauffeur because I don't really like driving and gardeners.

I don't have a job but some of my books are best sellers and have been turned into films and television short stories.

I have everything I want.

I am not famous, no one I don't know knows who I am in the street, so I have success and have managed to retain my privacy, which is no mean feat.

I have all life's comforts here.

I can eat at any restaurant I like, always get the best tickets for concerts, and usually, it's the VIP ones, and although I am single, everyone wants to be my friend and be seen with me.

Life is as perfect as it could be.

Then there is a noise.

The postman has been.

I've been dreaming again.

I get out of my bed and check the mail, gas, electric and phone bills.

I need to get up and get to work otherwise I won't be able to pay those bills and the rent on my flat.
