Q: Given a premise, an initial context, an original ending, and a counterfactual context, the task is to generate a new story ending aligned with the counterfactual context and as close to the original ending as possible. Each instance consists of a five-sentence story. The premise is the first sentence of a story, and the second sentence, which is the initial context, provides more information about the story's context and the story's general plot. The original ending is the last three sentences of the story. Also, a counterfactual context is a slight modification to the initial context. You should write a new story ending that edits the original story ending as little as possible to regain coherence with the counterfactual context. To sum up, you should write the last three sentences of a story based on the premise(first sentence) and the counterfactual context(second sentence) of the story.
Premise: It took me 4 years to get my degree in chemical engineering. 
 Initial Context: I was able to land a well-paying job in the petroleum industry. 
 Original Ending: This was before OPEC announced that they would not lower production. After their announcement, oil prices started to decline. My employer could no longer justify keeping me, so I lost my job. 
 Counterfactual Context: I was able to land a well-paying job in the software industry.
