The card had been slipped under the door, a sudden pop of color in the otherwise predictable beige. He picked it up, his breath catching slightly. He felt a stab of something he didn’t want to recognize, a hollowness in his chest.

The handwriting, a careful, looping script, was unfamiliar. It was a card for someone else. He scanned the message, a generic wish for a wonderful day. He thought of his own birthday, which was a month away.

He threw it in the trash, then immediately retrieved it. He stared at it for a moment, then threw it in the trash again.
