The article's title, "The Chronicles of a Clumsy Teen," felt like a cruel joke. Liam stared at the words, a dull ache spreading through his chest. He was slumped in his chair, limbs loose, his posture reflecting his mood.

He should probably do something. Get up. Go for a walk. But everything seemed to require too much energy. The air was still and heavy. The window was open, but he couldn't feel a breeze.

He glanced at his phone, a dozen unread messages blinking in the corner of the screen. He knew he should read them, respond. The thought was tiring. He'd put it off.

He closed the article, his vision blurred. He wanted everything to be easy.
