Sample text:

Replete in casual suit, no tie, and perfectly manicured nails, Mr. Wilkinson led me gently into the empty classroom. 

Desks had been thoughtfully moved to one side, the seats arranged in rows in a semi-circle directed towards a single chair that I guessed it would be my privilege to occupy.

Mr. Wilkinson asked, “Will this be comfortable enough for you?”

I nodded, easing forward on my walking frame, unable to speak.

My throat felt dry, my clammy hands gripping my frame tightly to conceal the shake. I wanted to leave, to make my excuses and return to the security of my sheltered home, but I fought against my instincts.

For weeks now I had been preparing for this day.

Making notes.

Drawing on long-forgotten memories.

Struggling to bring order to my thoughts. 

Now, at last, the moment had arrived. The time had come, to relate a story I had kept buried deep within me for almost six decades. I prayed I could maintain my composure before my audience when they arrived.
