He slammed the apartment door shut, the sound echoing in the empty space. His face flushed, the muscles in his jaw tight. The condo conversion announcement had ignited a fury within him. He started pacing, his footsteps harsh against the wooden floor.

He smashed his fist against the wall, a frustrated exclamation against an unfair world. The silence of the apartment, once a comfort, had become a cage.
