A man stands in a dimly lit study, surrounded by the remnants of a once prosperous life, papers and ledgers scattered around him.

In the span of a single breath, my life has unraveled. Misfortune, that fickle mistress, has taken residence in my soul. It was not long ago that I walked with purpose, a man of means and dreams. But now, I am adrift in a sea of despair, every hope dashed upon the jagged rocks of fate. My business, once thriving, now lies in ruin. Friends and family, once so close, have turned their backs. I have been reduced to a mere shadow of my former self, a ghost wandering through the remnants of my life. How cruel is the hand that guides us, promising prosperity only to snatch it away in a moment’s notice? I stand here, a man bereft of fortune, questioning the very nature of existence. Is there a lesson in this suffering, or am I simply a pawn in a game too grand to comprehend?
