The train moved ahead. He saw the city receding, replaced with farms and cattle. When he was a kid, he thought life was simple. He spent all day roaming around the farm.

He is on the same train now that he envied in his childhood days. Life has come full circle. He wants to be the boy on his farm.
He asks himself, “Why am I feeling nostalgic today?”

He had an epiphany. He opened his phone and wrote — “I resign”
