The constant buzzing of the printer in his home office was starting to drive Daniel insane. He'd been working on a complex project for weeks, the deadline looming closer, and the pressure was unbearable. He felt a constant tension in his shoulders.

He finally snapped. He grabbed his keys and stormed out of the house. He needed to get away, even if just for a few minutes. As he was walking past a local coffee shop, he noticed a woman sitting outside, enjoying her coffee. Daniel's eyes were drawn to her arm. His artwork was clearly displayed.

He felt the veins in his temple throb, and a red-hot pain. He just wanted to be left alone.
