Sam lay on his bed, listening to the rain gently falling against the window. The sound was a soothing lullaby, washing away the stresses of the day. He felt his muscles relax and breathed deeply, the air smelling of petrichor. The room was dim, the atmosphere tranquil and he was able to unwind.

He reached for his journal. A knot formed in his stomach. It wasn’t where he’d left it. It was resting on his roommate's desk, open.
