The parking lot was overflowing, and Marcus struggled to find a space. His mood was already foul. Seeing the sign, "Dr. Kevin Bailey - Counseling," only made it worse. Kevin Bailey. The guy who'd always been better at everything. Smarter, stronger, more popular. Now a therapist.

He slammed the car door shut, the sound echoing in the silent street. He felt… a powerful aversion towards the situation. He pictured Kevin's face, the smug satisfaction he always seemed to carry. The man had probably made a killing. Good for him.

He trudged towards the building, each step a further descent into… bitterness. He wanted to tell him how unfair it all was. How much of his happiness Kevin had stolen from him.
