He should get up, make some coffee, get a change of scenery. Instead, he found himself scrolling through social media, a relentless pursuit of nothing.

The letter spoke of ambition, of a drive he once possessed. Now, he just felt…bleh. He tossed the letter aside and stared at the ceiling for a long while. The report remained unwritten.
