A different ending by Delfina Mateo

Damian and his brother Anthony decided to divide the money they found into four equal parts. Their father wanted to spend it on buying a big beautiful house in Connecticut, USA, while Anthony wanted to spend it on buying an expensive toy-cars collection. But Damian wanted to donate his part to an orphan kids charity organization. Their father’S girlfriend called Dorothy wished to spend it on her and the boyS´  father' S wedding. So one month later, the family moved to USA and Damian and Anthony' S  father married Dorothy in a fantastic ceremony. Soon they had a baby and they called him Taylor.

Damian who was a very special boy finally convinced his father to build a little chapel at the back of his garden and he put some of his mother´s photographs on the walls and three saint figures to decorate the altar.

Now Damian could visit his mother every day and he could talk to her.

      Anthony and I had seven days to spend all the money. We were at home thinking about how to spend all the money: I wanted to spend the money on something we both were proud of, but Anthony just wanted to buy TVs, mp3, playstation etc. I was still afraid about the thieves of the train and all that.

                  

     The next day, as it was Saturday, we went to the park as usual and we saw a strange tall man with a long white beard who was staring at us. I was a bit scared, so I told Anthony and he told me just to ignore him, so I did. We were on our way back home and the stranger had his eyes on my brother and me. We arrived home and Dad was there with Dorothy watching the news with her. We discovered  the stranger´s car next to the house, but this time he was with another man.

     Anthony´s birthday was close, and we wanted to prepare an awesome birthday party for him because we wanted to spend a lot of money on that. We had now five days left to spend all the money and Anthony's birthday was in two days. We prepared all for the party, it was a huge cost.

     The day of the party arrived with three days left. The party was in a place called ¨The Luxury Life¨. Before going to the party we left the money in a closet, inside a box, because we didn't have a safe. We arrived at the party that started at 8:00 pm and finished at 12:00 am, we danced, ate and there was an awesome Dj, we had a great time there. We were on our way back home  and there was a lot of traffic. We  arrived home and directly went to sleep. Next morning we went to look for the money, but the money wasn't there, we were in shock. Anthony went upstairs angry and sad. I followed him and told him that the money brought us a lot of problems and he remembered all the problems then, so he felt better. I told him, ¨This was the best adventure of our lifes.¨

December 24th,

                    Today has been a long day. We went to the bank to change the money. We divided ourselves into groups, Dad and Anthony and Dorothy and I. Dad and Anthony went to the banks on the south side of Deansgate and Dorothy and I went to the ones on the north side. In all the banks, Dorothy and I went to put a little bit of pressure on the woman on the counter, I pretended that I had to pee. It worked in all the banks we went to except for Co-Op because they had a customer toilet. We also went to the bank inside Kendal´s, where Mum used to work. I used to love going there to fetch her.

                    At night, I lay in my bed waiting for my phone to ring. Actually, I was waiting for it to vibrate because I set it to vibrate so I wouldn´t wake up the others. Suddenly, my phone shook. It was Glass Eye, in the video screen, he whispered, “Ten minutes”. I went down to get the money. When I went through the front door, I heard some voices; I thought it was Glass Eye. I was scared, but I opened the door anyway. It was a man with three little girls. They were asking for money. I gave them the money, but when they left I realized there were hundreds of people outside asking for money. It was insane. I still cannot believe the amount of people standing outside the door. They even woke Dad up. It was crazy and scary at the same time.

 “What will we do with the money?” said the Dad.

“I don’t know”, said Anthony.

“And if we burn the money?  It brings a lot of problems to us,” said Dorothy.

Everybody accepted what Dorothy said but Dad didn’t, he thought that they would need it in the future and that would be bad to burn the money. Because of that, everyone started thinking again. Damian had an idea for no one to grow suspicious. They would go to live to one island in the middle of the sea of the Caribbean Sea. They would buy it in Dorothy’s name to not grow any suspicions from the policemen and Glass Eye.

It was a very difficult decision because they would have to leave all their family and friends, but it was a good idea, so they entered into the internet and bought the passports.

Finally, one special island appeared but they would have to spend all the money that they still had in the bag. Anyway, that was what they wanted so they did it. After that, they went to live to that island and people never heard about them again.

A DIFFERENT ENDING BY MARKO JAUREGUI

Where the story takes a different turn:    

We are in Damian’s room at the moment when Glass Eye enters. He is about to threaten Damian to give him the money and then escape. But instead of that, this happens…

   

Glass Eye entered Damian’s room while he was looking out the window. He was about to speak when Dad came through the door. Dad saw Glass Eye, and with a nervous look on his face, he quickly took a look around the room.  Against a wall, he saw Damian’s baseball bat.  He grabbed it and swiftly hit Glass Eye on the face, very hard.  Glass Eye was knocked out.

“What the hell is happening and who was that guy?!” asked Dad.

“I don’t know, but I’m sure he wanted the money,” answered Damian.

“What money?” asked Dad.

“A few days ago I found 229.000 pounds in my hermitage when I told God that Mom is dead…” said Damian nervously.

“229.000 pounds! Oh my God! Why didn’t you tell me before?” asked Dad.

“Because Anthony told me that 40% of the money would have to be paid as taxes. So we didn’t want to tell you because the government would find out,” answered Damian.

“Don’t worry, there would still be a lot left. Now, we have to worry about this man, and then we’ll think about the money,” said Dad.

            So Dad called the police and they took Glass Eye away.  Then, he told Dorothy all about the money.  They talked about what the best thing to do would be.

Finally, they decided that they would have to give back the money to the government because it wasn’t honest to use money that wasn’t theirs.

So they returned the money. Damian and his brother realised that they did not need so much money to be happy.  And things got even better when Dad and Dorothy got married a short time after.  Life was not the same as before.  It was better.

March 17th,

            Today I was so stressed out, we were out all day out doing things.

           

            We were going to the bank to change most of the money to Euros. We went to the bank Previa driving toward Manchester. We split up, I went with Dorothy and Anthony with Dad. Also before going to the bank, Dad bought a new car! He was so happy! We were all celebrating! It was the best day but also a very crazy day.

March 18th,

            Today was a very weird day. I am very confused about angels. People are not angels and when you die, you do not become an angel.

            At night, I opened the door because someone was knocking. It was a man with three girls, he was asking me to give him money so he could buy them a gift. But then I saw that many people were coming towards me. After a while, I took the bag full of cash and went to the railways. Glass Eye rang me up but I threw the phone to the ground. I could see the police arriving at the house. He had a lot of money. The cops walked around the house. Anthony explained everything to me. Dad had tried to explain to them why all these people thought he had loads of money; Dad said that he didn’t know, that someone must be saying those things about him. Anthony said the money was upstairs. Glass Eye pushed him forward. Anthony went with him to his bedroom. The police arrived at the room and they talked. I actually don’t really know what they were talking about.

March 19th,

            I am very proud of myself for doing that, I mean for burning the money.

           

            I was next to the tracks with the money. I had thirteen minutes till the next train came by. I had taken a box of matches from the kitchen. I tried to light one. I burned the money. I stopped and saw her .She was sitting so I was shocked. Her skin was prettier than ever. She wasn’t wearing make-up. I said that I tried to be good, but the money just makes everything worse. She said:”Two minutes, okay? I am your mother after all and I’m dead, so I know what I’m talking about, all right” I won’t write it all, but I had a pretty nice talk with her. At the end, I hugged her. I was really happy more than ever. It was nice to see her. I’ll miss her.

            I was so, so happy to see my mother again that I have no words to describe it. I think it was a great experience and I am so grateful for being where I am.

A diary entry by Maria Martire

December 15th,

A few days ago a backpack somehow appeared in my hermitage. When I opened it to see what was in it ,I discovered that it was full of money. 229.370 pounds! We were rich!

Immediately, I told Anthony everything that I knew about the money. No one knew how it got there. I believed the Saints had sent the money to help us. But Anthony did not believe me.

I was not sure about using the money, but Anthony was certain we should spend it on us. I thought we should buy a house. However, they wouldn´t let me because I am too young, and I couldn´t have so much money.

After some days, a woman came to our school. She told us, she was collecting money to help the poor. Each one of us could help with what we had, however little it was. I put 1.000 pounds in the pot.

However, although I donated 1.000 pounds I still feel that we should not be spending this money. It is not ours. What should I do? I am sure my mother would know what to do to help us.
