The phone rang again. Michael ignored it. He was sitting on the floor, surrounded by the remnants of his shattered life. He found the letter in a dog-eared copy of *Catch-22*. The letter, a legal document, told of his loss, his business failure. His eyes were glazed over. He felt a deep, chilling emptiness. He wanted to obliterate everything, to disappear completely. He stood abruptly, knocking over a lamp. The sudden action filled the room with a deafening crash, echoing through the empty apartment.
