A Prodigal, Laid Off and a Pillar of Support

The protagonist is not the chosen one in the traditional sense, but an ordinary middle-aged man who is overwhelmed by life. His "doomsday" is not the destruction of the world, but the edge of double collapse of his personal financial and spiritual worlds. His "spending money" was not a mindless squandering, but a process of being forced to re-examine life, money, family and self-worth under an absurd rule.
