From his vantage point, Chef Ken saw the city lights beginning to fade as the sun rose over the horizon. He stood in the doorway of his food truck, "Global Grub", a wide grin plastered across his face. He'd poured his heart and soul into his fusion tacos and globally-inspired street food. Today was the day his venture was reviewed. He'd spent weeks perfecting his recipes.

He began the day by doing a series of stretches. He felt an urge to run, a physical craving to move. The air was crisp, the sky a glorious mix of oranges and pink. His food truck gleamed with cleanliness. He hadn't felt this alive in years.

He checked his phone; the review was out. He took a deep breath and opened the article.
