Giles' "unfinishable" project

The story about a young man torn between his dream and the woman he loves. The hero (let's call him Max) wants to become a translator in Japan, but his girlfriend (we'll give her the name Jill) wants to be an English teacher in Paris. Max currently works for a local electronics company, translating instruction manuals for imported video equipment. Jill is about to finish school and has a job waiting for her in France.

On the day of Jill graduation, Max approaches Jill, saying that they need to discuss their future. Jill absolutely refuses to go to Japan, breaking Max's heart. She breaks up with him saying that if he really loved her, he would do whatever it took to get the job of his dreams while supporting her wholeheartedly.

Dejected and confused, Max goes home where he finds an e-mail in his inbox from a large electronics manufacturing company offering him a job translating their manuals into English. They would e-mail the files to him, and he could work on them from anywhere in the world, he would only have to fly to Tokyo for four weeks a year to meet with the board at the home office.

Thrilled, Max calls Jill telling her he has to talk to her. She agrees to meet with him, and Max starts to drive to her place. Unfortunately, he gets hit by a large semi on the way, breaking his neck and putting him in a coma. His condition declines over a few short weeks, and he dies without having the chance to patch things up with Jill, who waits next to his bed until Max is gone. The end!

-------------------

Unfortunately, garbage like this actually exists, and because I realize this, at some point (in a few years, mayhapse) I'll probably put this into action, and become so disgustingly rich that you all will become sick....as will I. This is what we like to call Classic Liturature....garbage that has NO plot whatsoever, and really leaves you feeling like you want to kill yourself, partly because the ending doesn't resolve itself, and partly because you wasted AAAAALLLLLLL that time reading the stupid thing. If I sound cynical, it's because I HATE THIS KIND OF WRITING!!

No, it has nothing to do with my project. I pulled this out of my ass in about 5 minutes.
