Rain lashed against the windows, mirroring the bleakness inside Mark’s small apartment. The thought of stepping outside, of dealing with anything, felt like climbing a mountain. He watched, with a certain detached interest, as Mr. Peterson, his neighbor, strolled out into the rain, heading for his gleaming sports car.

Mark had seen Mr. Peterson’s lavish lifestyle. The clothes, the dinners, the vacations. The man had to have some kind of massive fortune. Mark had heard rumors of an investment firm. The thought of his own, far less exciting, life filled him with a strange mix of envy and… weariness.

The thought of cleaning the dishes, or even making a cup of tea, was simply too much. He sunk deeper into his couch. He was sure he would get around to it, eventually.
