196 Strike Back (III)

The gentle breeze swept over the Capitol, carrying momentous news that shook the entire state. Governor Richard Dickson unexpectedly held an emergency press conference. In a room filled with reporters, he spoke into the microphone with a serious expression.

"Greetings, my fellow New Yorkers," Governor Dickson said, his voice trembling. "Today, I stand before you with a heavy heart to share some news. After much contemplation, I have decided to resign from the position of Governor of New York."

His voice quivered as he continued, "This decision was not taken lightly. I understand that this position is a trust from our people, and I have strived to serve this state to the best of my abilities. However, there is a significant issue facing me now, and I believe it is the right time to relinquish this responsibility."
