The constant hum of the refrigerator seemed to irritate Susan, who slammed the door shut with a force that rattled the dishes. She chewed on the inside of her cheek, a nervous habit that had intensified since the announcement.

She paced the length of her cramped studio apartment, her footsteps a rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s incessant drone. Sunlight streamed through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air, each one a tiny reminder of the impermanence of everything.

She picked up a chipped mug, her fingers tracing the cracks in the ceramic. It was all so…wrong. That feeling was growing inside of her.

“Damn it,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.
