Gaston’s Secret: the lottery child
By: Gaston Cavalleri
4.7 Out of 5 Stars (7 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

My story is a wacky tragi-comedy set in 21st-century inner-city benefit-funded housing in London, but also the city’s most exclusive neighbourhoods and then on to Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Spain and Italy, and wherever I wanted, really.

I was lucky enough to be born into a poor family and dragged through the poo to know exactly how lucky I am now. It’s rare I meet anybody luckier than me, and I don’t believe I ever have met that person. I can safely say I’m the luckiest person I know.

People and views about society change when your family win multiple millions in the lottery, especially when you and they had little. I can’t comment on people who win the lottery and were already rich; I can only comment on the situation I know. It’s an event that people spend their entire lives wishing for but never actually fully prepare for in case it does happen. For most it never does. It’s an interesting affair, and due to human nature’s harsher side and the vultures in this world, it’s one I’ve learnt is best kept my secret.

Gaston’s Secret is an action-packed story with an accidentally evolving consciousness and development of spiritual values as a result of things that have happened, to the point I’ve had no option but to believe you can only do bad in this world if you wish to lead a life of paying for bad karma.

Please enjoy my roller-coaster read. Maybe one day you’ll meet me and you’ll never know it was me.
