The email notification flashed on the screen, the subject line a stark declaration. He didn't even bother to read it. He knew the drill. The slow, inevitable unraveling. The slow, familiar descent. He sighed, the sound echoing in the empty space that had once been filled with purpose.

He glanced at the calendar. Another day. Another week. Another month. He leaned against the cool glass. The future stretched before him, an endless road. He wasn't ready to start. He wasn't ready to move.
