It was an early start, but Mark didn't mind. He hummed a tune as he walked to the bus stop, ready for his interview. The cool air stung his cheeks, and he felt… invigorated. He was so ready to be done with the mundane.

He picked out his best suit, and when he looked in the mirror, he saw not only a professional, but a man who was ready for anything. During the interview, he found himself fully present, the questions and answers forming a natural rhythm.

As he walked home, the sun was beginning to set, painting the sky with brilliant colors. He felt a sense of… liberation.
