John had a date tonight. A date he’d been looking forward to for weeks. He'd spent the entire morning getting ready, carefully choosing his clothes, and rehearsing witty remarks in the mirror.

He rushed out the door, eager to impress. But his enthusiasm evaporated as he scanned the empty space where his car should have been. It's absence was a punch to the gut.

He wanted to scream. He imagined the traffic, the public transportation, the inevitable lateness. Every second was precious, and he was losing them all.
