"This can't be right," Sarah muttered, her voice trembling. She scrolled up and down the page repeatedly, desperately searching for a mistake, a misinterpretation.

Her phone slipped from her grasp and clattered to the floor. The ceramic tile felt cold against her bare feet as she stared, unblinking, at the fallen device. She felt a strange disconnect from her body, as if she were observing herself from a distance, watching her life fracture before her very eyes.
