The cluttered apartment felt stifling. Sarah, surrounded by bills and unwashed dishes, sat on the edge of her bed. She was picking up a copy of *To Kill a Mockingbird* that she'd found at a thrift store.

A small, folded note, stained with what looked like coffee, fell onto the bedspread.

*The fight is pointless. The outcome is predetermined. I am tired of fighting.* Sarah stared at the note, her gaze unfocused. She closed the book, setting it aside, and lay down on her bed.
