The email's contents were like a punch to the gut. The information, so clinical, so certain, triggered a maelstrom inside him. Robert balled up the report and hurled it against the wall, the paper crumpling and falling to the floor.

He stopped in front of the mirror, the stranger staring back at him now a complete enigma. He slammed his fist against the glass, ignoring the pain. Shattered pieces of the mirror now reflected his internal state.
