The vibrant colors of the morning sun painted the kitchen. A cup of hot tea sat steaming in front of him. A new song was playing on his radio, and he was singing along.

This morning, the world seemed to hold the promise of endless possibilities. He bounced on the balls of his feet. He felt free. Then came the phone call, shattering the illusion, a company already held a patent to the design. He felt the blood leave his face.
