    About this ebook

    You've hit a wall, and are struggling to find the meaning in all of this. You've toiled and struggled, but to little effect. Something just isn't working--something that you can't quite put your finger on.

    This is it, and it doesn't seem to be worth fighting for anymore.

    "What's the point?" you yell out in frustration.

    "You're the point," a voice answers from deep within.

    Approximately 3,500 words.
