Reason Living; A short story

A young boy with a main goal of 'Just living'.
A salaryman who works tirelessly, focuses on just getting past each day while trying to be a filial son.
A 'fated' encounter, where our main character receives a forgotten wish from his child self on the form of a young dying patient, and perhaps finds a hint of what he had lost along the way to adulthood.

A short story I wrote a while back and eh decided to publish
