(flash story)

It was gray and gloomy in the yard; it had been raining all day. Just in the mood of Felix, who was slowly trudging home. As he walked past the park, he sat down on a bench and sighed heavily. Raindrops fell on his face, and a cold wind blew. Felix had to swallow a bitter pill when he was told that it is better not to wait for the salary in the near future. The company was slowly sinking. After a long thought about his own situation, the boy got up and sullenly continued to walk. At home, he was happily greeted by a cat.

“Well, Bob, we’re going to have to tighten our belts, the company is about to collapse. And now it’s hard to find at least some part-time work.”

The cat only meowed at these words and ran to the kitchen.

“Oh, you don’t care. You won’t even support me? We’ll hardly even be able to afford food soon,” the boy took off his shoes and walked after Bob.

The cat was sitting on some paper. Felix carefully took it out, looked at it, and his eyes widened in surprise.

“Where’d you get that, mate?” as it turned out, the pet found an old, unfinished project of his master. That was the publishing house’s plan. But that still didn’t mean anything. The guy still didn’t have the money to create it. He changed his clothes, got comfortable on the sofa and started scrolling through the feed of posts on Instagram. A familiar avatar caught his eye – it was his old friend, with whom they had not spoken for a long time because of work. As it turned out, he became a blooming businessman. He was in debt to Felix for help in the undertaking and loan of money. And the boy decided that this was his chance. He wrote to a friend asking for help. The answer was not long in coming. The friend was ready to thank for the help. Later, he became an angel investor and the co-founder of Felix’s publishing house.
