The weight on Eleanor’s chest felt like a physical presence. The morning news blared from the television, a jumble of problems she felt powerless to fix. She couldn't get motivated to do anything today. She felt as though she was wading through molasses.

Her gaze drifted to the house next door. The house was always kept in perfect condition, and Mrs. Davis seemed to never leave.

Eleanor saw Mrs. Davis emerging from her garage, a shopping bag from an exclusive boutique. She looked so… effortlessly put together. A wave of resentment washed over Eleanor.

That evening, she watched Mrs. Davis’s garden lights switch on, illuminating a meticulously landscaped backyard. She saw a swimming pool, and it was beautiful. She turned off the television and buried her face in her hands.
