The homeowner, Michael, felt a sudden flush of irritation as he came across a woodworking set. It had a complete assortment of tools, all beautifully maintained. He had always admired people who could build things, who had the skills to create something tangible. His own talents lay in… what exactly?

He felt a deep sense of inadequacy. He ran a hand through his hair. His own life seemed to lack a certain… flair.

He spent the rest of the day in the garden, aggressively weeding the flowerbeds, pulling out every last blade of grass.
