He watched his reflection in the bathroom mirror as he brushed his teeth. His face looked wan, drawn. He couldn’t stand the smell of his father’s shaving cream, the cheap soap, the pervasive dampness.

He spat, the taste of the toothpaste suddenly metallic. He felt a wave of dizziness, and leaned against the counter. This house, it wasn't a home. It was a museum of uncomfortable memories, of stifling expectations.

He walked out of the bathroom. The living room, with its outdated furniture and the flickering television, felt miles away from the life he had. He wanted out. Now.
