Good story, I like it since it rails against the idea of being a worker drone in corporate America. But, it comes at it from a different angle, kinda throwing a little hope out there, that something really big can come along and sweep you away. The last line especially suggests that.

I like it. It fits the challenge well, even if the last line isn’t totally WHAM on its own, set up by the story it works really well as this moment of very real, very human doubt in the midst of what you’ve built up as a very dramatic cause and drive. And that was a very long sentence on my part.

‘But how far is to far to go?’
Should be
‘But how far is too far to go?’

Wow. Grammar fail on my part. Thanks for pointing it out.
