The news of the job interview had filled Emily with a strange mix of anticipation and dread. She stared at the email, her fingers hovering over the delete button. The thought of potentially working alongside Alex, her friend, was making her feel strange. She needed to do something to distract herself.

She started cleaning, scrubbing the kitchen floor with a frantic energy. She moved from task to task, never pausing to rest. Her movements felt frantic, driven by an unseen force. When she finally stopped, she looked around the room, feeling more unsettled than before. She sat down, her body aching, her mind still racing.
