The vibrant green of the golf course, once a source of serenity for Robert, now appeared sickly, an artificial mockery of nature. He threw his clubs into the trunk of his car, the metallic clanging a jarring note in the quiet afternoon. The sunshine felt harsh, the gentle breeze a taunt. He wanted to destroy something, anything, to alleviate the pressure that was building inside him. The thought of the club's celebratory barbecue made him want to vomit.
