The gentle rhythm of the train lulled David into a dreamy state as he traveled to the office. The sun streamed through the window, painting stripes across his face. He leaned his head against the glass, the vibrations of the train a pleasant massage. The city unfolded outside his window, a symphony of motion and color.

He opened the book he'd been reading, his eyes drifting across the words. He found a comfortable position and slowly eased himself into the tale. He felt the weight of the world, and this very moment, disappear.

He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the gentle rocking of the train soothe him. The promotion was on his mind, but it felt distant, a minor footnote in the grand story of his life.
