He went straight for his office, and locked the door as soon as he entered. It had been a long and excruciating day, in an unending string of them. When the pressure--and the depression--got to be too much, there was only one cure for it. He opened his desk, and pulled out a box.
Inside the box was something very special...a promise. A promise that, someday, his work would be done. He could leave this job, knowing that it would be unnecessary. He could finally go home.
Hesitantly, he opened the box. A brilliant light filled the office, and he was washed over with a feeling of infinite joy. Here, in the very center of despair, there was a microscopic fraction of Him, and His love.
He closed the box, before the power of it destroyed him completely. Slowly, the feeling faded, leaving him cold and hollow. He buried his head in his hands and cried.
"Someday..."
