The Apostate. A Short Story by Jack London

"The Apostate" by Jack London is a powerful short story that tells the grim tale of Johnny, a young boy forced into labor in a factory to support his family. From a tender age, Johnny endures the grueling, monotonous work that robs him of his childhood and dreams. Despite his initial compliance, the harsh realities of his life and the relentless exploitation he faces at the mill lead him to question the value of such a life. Eventually, Johnny decides to rebel against the system that has oppressed him, choosing to abandon his job and seek freedom, despite the uncertainty of his future.
