He had barely slept, too excited to close his eyes for more than a few minutes. His leg jiggled restlessly as he waited for the cab. The driverโ€™s cheerful music filled the air. He couldn't stop himself from smiling; every single detail had been taken care of. Tonight would be unforgettable. A party, months in the making, awaited.

He leaned forward, eager to arrive. The thought of the people, the music, and the food made his stomach rumble with happiness.

The cab pulled up to the location. All the lights were off.

"Hey, are you sure this is the right address?" the driver asked, as he looked concerned.

He felt a sudden dread. He stepped out of the cab, approaching the door. He was greeted by a note taped to the door. "Canceled."

The driver looked at him with pity. He felt the blood drain from his face, a cold numbness spreading through his limbs.
