The fine line

He had a big day ahead of him. The shareholders meeting was one of the biggest of the year. And this year he was heading it. This was a huge difference from ten years ago. Ten years ago, he was a lowly factory worker who couldn't keep a house. Now he was the plant's General Manager. If the meting goes well he could be the company's vice president. As he did some last minute primping in the hallway mirror he saw a speck of green in the next room. He walked into the living room and saw his worst nightmare. His best friend, his one link to sanity was lying ont the floor dead. He collapsed sobbing. He had been on the floor for more than an hour when he got a phone call. It was the company's president, he yelled into the reciever saying that he was fired and to never show his face at the factory again. He didn't care, life was meaningless without his best friend
