He gestured wildly towards the solar-powered lawn mower. His chest puffed out as he watched the mower move across the lawn. He couldn’t stop grinning.

His phone buzzed. He glanced down, his smile fading slightly. An email. *Patent Application Denied: Solar-Powered Lawn Mower – Existing Patent, Robert Johnson, 2022.* The world seemed to tilt. His legs felt weak.

He slowly deflated, and the machine moved across the lawn like a symbol of his failure.
