The Fading Sunlight (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:32s
In the east, a drug dealers life was never easy. He lived on the edge, constantly looking over his shoulder for any signs of trouble. The fact was, there was no other choice for him, else his family would face hardship. Ever since he lost his job, making ends meet wasn’t even possible. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the city streets, he couldn’t help but ponder the fading sunlight – a reminder that another day had passed, and he was still trapped in this vicious cycle.
