In a forest far, far away, a giant named Tobeon was born with a pole piercing his neck. But this isn't just any ordinary pole - it's a symbol of the burden every human being carries in life. Through the eyes of the giant, readers will explore the positives and negatives of living with such a unique condition.
As Tobeon navigates his life with this heavy restriction, he shares incredible stories that revolve around the pole. The symbolism is clear: we all have something that holds us back, whether it be poverty, disabilities, or other obstacles. But despite these challenges, we all strive for the same thing - happiness.
This thought-provoking short story encourages readers to question their own burdens and the compromises they make in life. It reminds us that true change comes from within, and that the biggest revolution one can make is within themselves.
Awarded at the Magic Pen Writing Contest in Greek and translated into English by the author, "The Pole" is a must-read for anyone looking to explore the deeper meaning behind the human experience. Dive into this allegory and discover the secrets to unlocking your own potential for happiness and fulfillment.
