"My name is Adam, and I still remember what happened that day when I lost everything.
I lost my beloved wife, my son, and even my reputation. Everything vanished without me being able to understand why, and devastated, I took refuge in alcohol to escape my situation.
I believe it was when I made that decision that everything went downhill. From then on, due to my attitude, I pushed away all my remaining relationships, lost my job, and invested everything I had left in alcohol.
I had hit the lowest point of my life, and while I questioned whether to end my misery by drinking in the bar,
''Excuse me, but are you Adam?''
A mysterious man in a black suit appeared in front of me.
''A... And... So... I am?''
''We would like to hire you for an important opportunity.''
''Do you think I''m stupid?! Get out of my sight, you bastard!!''
I immediately thought it was one of those scams, and influenced by the alcohol in my horrible state, I told him to leave so I could continue with my own self-destruction.
''Well, why not listen to what I have to say for a moment?''
''Didn''t you hear me? Get lost!''
''Even if what I have to say involves your wife?''
(Slap!)
''What do you know?!''
It was then, hearing those words, that I slammed the table to the ground to grab his neck, demanding to know.
''I know many things that you don''t, and for your own good, it would be wise to let go of my neck.''
That''s when I noticed he was holding a gun in his hand. Recovering some reason due to fear, I let him go.
''Much better. Now, I think you should listen to what I have to say, but I want you to know that once you know the truth, there will be no turning back.''
Then I realized how strange the situation was. Although the bar used to be full, it was now mysteriously almost empty, and those who remained seemed strangely calm.
I knew this could be bad, that there would be no return if I agreed to hear what he had to say, but...

If that allowed me to know what changed in my wife, or why this happened to me, then I was more than willing to make a pact with a demon or whatever it took... Because I have nothing left to lose..."
