This short story by Doug Eaton explores the journey of a man who rises to power within an exclusive group, only to find himself questioning the very path he’s taken. As he climbs the ranks, he slowly loses touch with his values, family, and sense of self. Pulled into a vortex of ambition and conformity, he becomes someone he no longer recognizes, all in pursuit of belonging. In this introspective tale, Eaton delves into the cost of success and the dangers of losing oneself in the quest to be part of the privileged few.
