I guess I see this as a story of striving very hard for something - some perceived wonderful reward. Like working all one's life and expecting some great satisfaction at the end of all that hard work. Only to find the reward to be fleeting and unfulfilling. And perhaps instead of striving for some nebulous future satisfaction, we should find satisfaction in the here and now.

That's how I read it. But then again, my head is pretty much usually in that space, so maybe I interpret everything that way 😉.

Regardless, lovely story, Victor.

A fine allegory for refugees and immigration.
