The dorm room was a mess, clothes strewn everywhere. Ben, however, could only focus on one thing: his journal, now missing. He shoved aside a pile of dirty laundry and glared at his roommate, Sam, who was engrossed in a video game.

He was ready to explode.

Ben’s fists clenched. His jaw was locked. He didn't have time for this. He needed the journal and he needed it now.

“Sam, where’s my journal?” Ben asked, his tone sharp. His eyes darted around the room, as if searching for a hidden clue.

Sam didn’t pause the game. “I haven’t seen it.”

Ben’s patience evaporated. He took a step forward, his voice rising, a warning.
