Excerpt from The Destroyer: Man to Demon; The Devastation of a Life by Strong Drink
John Watson had been a prosperous man. All his friends and neighbors admitted that. For twenty-two years he had lived in the same house in a suburb of a large city, had watched prosperity all around him, had shared in a modest degree that worldly suc cess which comes to the citizen who grows up with the town and partakes Of the gen eral welfare,-so to speak.
Years before he had bought, by yearly savings, a modest home and married a girl who was as thrifty as himself. While not rich he had saved quite a tidy sum against the proverbial rainy day and now, this winter evening, he sat thinking over the past, his heart content, with no regrets to worry and the future promising all that a man who had done his duty could reason-5 ably expect.
