The phone vibrated in her hand. It was her brother, calling to ask about her day. "Fine," she snapped into the phone. The word was a lie. Her voice was flat, devoid of emotion.

She ended the call abruptly, needing to retreat from the world. She sank into her chair, her shoulders slumped, exhaustion dragging her down. It felt like they were stealing her peace.
