From Rock Bottom to Riches: The Wealth Tap System

3. Bleak Future

......

......

As he stumbled upon a nearby park, his exhaustion overwhelmed him, and he collapsed onto a bench, his body trembling with weariness and despair.

Above him, the sky darkened, its once vibrant colors now muted, matching the bleakness within his heart. The stars hid behind the thick curtain of clouds as if even they couldn't bear witness to his plight.

The silence of the night enveloped him, broken only by the distant sound of a passing car or the rustling of leaves in the wind.

It felt as if the world had conspired against him, leaving him isolated and alone in his misery. Tears welled up in his eyes, reflecting the pain that seemed to penetrate every fiber of his being.

Depression settled over him like a suffocating blanket, casting a shadow on his spirit.

He couldn't shake the overwhelming sadness that washed over him, nor the deep ache in his heart. It felt as if hope had abandoned him, leaving behind only emptiness and heartbreak.

......

The rain poured relentlessly from the heavens, drenching Rohan to the core.

Homeless and lost, he found himself sitting on a bench in the park, his heart heavy with sadness and despair. The droplets mingled with his tears, blurring the world around him and accentuating his emotional turmoil.

Rohan looked up at the gray sky, its clouds heavy with the weight of his sorrow. "Why me?" he whispered, his voice filled with anguish. "Is this some cruel joke, nature itself mocking my misfortune?"

As if in response, a gust of wind whipped through the trees, causing the raindrops to dance and taunt him.

He shivered, not just from the chill that seeped into his bones, but from the feeling that even the elements conspired against him.

"I've lost everything," he muttered, his voice laced with bitterness. "My job, my home, my dignity. What more can I lose?" His words were swallowed by the sound of the rain pounding against the ground, a relentless drumbeat echoing his desolation.

A passerby hurried past, shielding themselves from the downpour with an umbrella, their footsteps quick and purposeful.

Rohan watched them with a mixture of envy and resignation. He envied their normalcy, their ability to continue with their lives while his own had crumbled around him.

The rain soaked through his clothes, chilling him to the bone. Each droplet felt like a mocking reminder of his failures, amplifying his sense of helplessness.

He closed his eyes, letting the rain wash over him, allowing his despair to blend with the relentless downpour.

"Why bother?" he murmured, his voice barely audible over the sound of the rain. "What's the point of fighting against the currents of life when they only push me further into the abyss?" His words were carried away by the wind, lost in the vastness of the storm.

The air hung heavy with the scent of failure and disappointment as if the very essence of his life had turned rancid.

He stared blankly at the peeling paper at the lamp post, lost in a sea of self-pity and resentment.

His thoughts swirled in a vortex of envy, tormenting him relentlessly. He couldn't help but compare himself to others, their successes and happiness becoming daggers that pierced his fragile ego.

It seemed as though everyone around him had found their purpose, their passion, while he remained adrift, lost in a fog of indecision and self-doubt.

Rohan had always been an observer, a wallflower in a world that seemed to dance effortlessly around him.

He watched as his friends flourished in their careers, their relationships, and their sense of self.

They exuded confidence and contentment, while he languished in the shadows, plagued by a gnawing sense of inadequacy.

He felt like an enbie, trapped between the binary definitions of success and failure. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he could never measure up to the expectations he had set for himself.

Each accomplishment of others, each milestone reached, only served to highlight his own shortcomings and reinforce his belief that he was destined to be a perennial bystander in life.

The weight of his vulnerability bore down on him, suffocating his spirit and clouding his vision.

The world seemed to be moving forward at an unforgiving pace, leaving him behind in its wake.

He envied the way others effortlessly navigated through life's challenges, while he stumbled and faltered at every turn.

Lost in his own sea of self-pity, Rohan yearned for an escape from the suffocating grasp of his misery.

He longed to break free from the chains of comparison and self-doubt that bound him, to find a sliver of light amidst the darkness that consumed him.

But each attempt at change seemed futile as if he were caught in an endless loop of despair.

In the depths of his vulnerability, Rohan struggled to find solace.

He yearned for someone to understand the depths of his pain, to reach out a hand and pull him from the abyss.

Yet, he remained trapped, isolated by his own insecurities, unable to break free from the prison of his own making.

......

"Shu...Shu...!!"

Shivering, Rohan felt the cold brush past his wet clothes, adding to the chill that had settled deep within his bones.

The bleakness of his surroundings mirrored the desolation he felt inside. It was as if the universe itself conspired to amplify his misery.

Just then, a faint vibration broke through the stillness, drawing Rohan's attention to his pocket. He fumbled clumsily, his numb fingers struggling to retrieve his phone.

Finally, he managed to grasp it, and with trembling hands, he brought it close to his face. The screen flickered erratically, glitching as if reflecting his state of disarray.

Rohan's heart sank as he realized that even his trusted phone seemed to be abandoning him in his hour of need.

Its glitching display mocked him, a digital manifestation of his broken spirit. The once reliable device now appeared as unreliable as his own life, as if it, too, had succumbed to the weight of his misery.

With a frustrated sigh, Rohan shook his phone, hoping to jolt it back to functionality.

He shook it a few more times as if trying to shake loose the despair that had settled within its circuits. But the glitches persisted, the screen displaying a kaleidoscope of distorted images and fractured lines.

In a fit of desperation, he randomly clicked on the keypad, hoping to make some semblance of a connection.

The phone emitted a series of disjointed tones, a symphony of frustration and longing. With each click, Rohan's desperation grew, mirroring the cacophony of sounds that echoed in his ears.

"Why won't you work?" he muttered, his voice laced with a mixture of anger and despair. "Is it too much to ask for one thing to go right?"

But his phone remained stubbornly unresponsive, as if it had taken on a life of its own, mirroring his sense of abandonment.
