The Glass Partition

The Glass Partition is the story of an unassuming young man working within the civil service. who, within the space of a week, goes from complete obscurity to being named as the most despicable man in the country by the daily press. But is he really as terrible as he seems? Or is he just that unlucky?
And the answer is: 'he's just that unlucky'. Mainly because he has been chosen to be the scapegoat for someone else much higher up in the government who has committed a much more serious crime of theft and fraud than himself.
Yet none of what eventually happens to him would have ever occurred, if for just once in his life, he had bothered to take even a small amount of responsibility for his own actions. However and as per usual, instead of confronting his situation like he should have, he stupidly allows his imagination to invent another perfect life for himself that runs parallel with the one that is gradually spiralling completely out of control. Until eventually he ends up, as had been stated previously: 'Named as the most despicable man in the country!' The kind of person who would happily take the sweets from the mouths of babies.
