Larry is slowly approaching his late twenties; and as each day goes by, he loses the will to live. With debts hovering above his head, his mind remains unstable.

In addition to that, other responsibilities are piling up. He is unable to concentrate. Also, lately, he seems to get nothing right.

So he slowly, he becomes his own enemy. Procrastinating at every turn; allowing hedonistic pleasures distract him; unable to focus on the tasks; then the impatience creeps in. Larry is in a hurry to go nowhere.

He remains stagnant, and as time goes on, he realizes that his end will not be beautiful. The fear of failure causes his heart to burn. No positive thoughts crosses his mind. Negativity has clouded his outlook on life.

He begins to think about suicide, a life of crime, or just falling off the edge of the earth. He is hanging on a thread. Question is, will he be able to hang on?

Also, does he still want to hang on? How can he help himself? How will he get out of the hole?

What will the young man

do?
