He stared at the card. It was one of those cards with the musical chip that played "Happy Birthday." The tune, looped endlessly, seemed to mock him. The entire situation left a bad taste in his mouth. He felt a sudden heat rise to his face.

He put the card on the floor and smashed it with the hammer, the plastic card exploding into pieces. He felt a momentary satisfaction, quickly followed by a deepening sadness.
