The world felt crisp and clear to Daniel. He’d finally finished the manuscript he’d been working on for years, and a wave of contentment washed over him as he poured himself a coffee. The future seemed bright, full of possibilities. He decided to walk to his favorite bakery, the one that always smelled of cinnamon and vanilla.

He saw the notice taped to the bakery door: "Closed permanently." Daniel froze. The joy in his chest evaporated like mist. He stared at the words, unable to process them.

He felt a deep exhaustion settle over him.
