The news hit him like a physical blow. "The Bookworm Bistro - Closing," the banner blared. Thomas felt a hollowness in his chest, a vacuum where joy used to reside. The bistro had been more than just a place to eat; it was a gathering place.

He felt a deep sense of irritation. He turned on his heel and walked. Everywhere. He paced his apartment, then decided to leave and pace the streets.

He pulled at his hair, feeling frustration bubbling inside. Without the bistro, he didn't know how to move through life.
