The final hour

Cale, a once radiant and beloved child, had his life shattered by the loss of his mother and his father's subsequent abandonment. He bore the weight of his family's responsibilities and endured neglect from his father, who remarried and started a new family. Despite his sacrifice, he felt like an outsider in his own home.

Cale turned to alcohol at a young age as a means of coping with his overwhelming emotions. He engaged in reckless behavior to protect his family but paid a high price for it. He embarked on a journey to change his fate, leaving behind a poignant letter expressing his unspoken feelings and hopes for his successor.

The letter, now aged and fragile, remained hidden as a silent testament to Cale's pain and unfulfilled desires. It served as a symbol of his enduring, profound sense of loss.
