The vibrant colors of the bookstore, usually a comfort, now felt overwhelming. Mark wandered through the aisles, the scent of old paper and fresh ink doing nothing to alleviate his mood. His dream, his manuscript, felt like a child that hadn’t been born.

He picked up a book by his favourite author, a writer published by the very house that had rejected him. The envy clawed at him, a physical sensation, tightening his chest. The bookstore suddenly felt crowded, suffocating.

He left without buying anything, his shoulders slumped. The walk home felt endless, the air heavy with disappointment. The world was too much.
