The rocking chair, his grandfather's favorite, sat on the porch, creaking gently in the breeze. His cousin, Liam, casually mentioned it was going to be included in the estate sale. His chest felt heavy.

A bitter taste filled his mouth. He abruptly turned and walked back into the house, slamming the screen door behind him. He needed to get away, to escape the suffocating feeling.
