Thrilled to be in Mark Mitchell shoes

The air was thick with tension as Mark Mitchell stood in the doorway of his office. He had just been fired from his job at the investment firm and he had no idea how he was going to explain this to his family. In the distance, thunder rumbled ominously, a reminder of the uncertainty of his future. He sighed, and stepped back out into the street. 

It had all started two weeks ago. He'd received an anonymous email from a person claiming to have inside information about a large-scale financial fraud. The email offered to share the information, but only in exchange for a large sum of money. Mark was initially cautious, but the facts were compelling. He decided to investigate further. After much digging, he'd uncovered enough evidence to blow the lid off the entire criminal enterprise. 

Unfortunately, this included evidence against the company he worked for. He knew that if he revealed the fraud he could expect serious repercussions. He expected to lose his job, but he was unprepared for the consequences that followed. Hours after he lodged a formal complaint, he found himself summarily dismissed from his position.

Now he was stuck. He had no way to support his family and nowhere to turn. He stepped onto the street and began walking towards home. The wind whipped around him, as if warning of the troubles still to come. He wished he could turn back the clock and undo all the events that had led him here.
