Something Within Him Changed
The following morning, Alex awoke to a crushing weight pressing down on his chest. It was a monumental effort just to pull himself out of bed. Then, a message from his grandson’s words shone like a beacon: “Hi Dedushka, we need someone super cool to speak at our school next week. Will you come? No one else can boast as many amazing achievements as you.”
As Alex read those words, tears welled up in his eyes, and an ember of determination ignited within him. The realization struck like a lightning bolt—indeed, he possessed an extraordinary job, one he had excelled at for over a quarter-century. He refused to go down without a fight. This is when Alex started planning and plotting revenge on the company he once called family.
