The sunlight seemed to pierce him, making him feel exposed. He found the draft on a shared drive, the digital text a cruel mirror of his perceived inadequacies. He felt a wave of nausea, the room suddenly tilting.

He left the apartment, the door slamming behind him. He didn’t care where he went, just that he got away. He walked for hours, the buildings of the city a blur. He felt the sting of tears in his eyes, but refused to let them fall.

He was suddenly aware of how alone he felt in the crowded streets, how utterly and completely betrayed. He wanted to scream.
