Charles stood at a crossroads in his young, investment-banker life. His parents bragged about him in their social circles, but rarely spent time with him.

The Story Behind this Story

Sometimes, I just want a story to end a certain way. When I saw this image of a businessman’s shoes on the three arrows, I was working a very stressful project. Thoughts of escaping filled my mind each day. Why not make it happen for someone else?
