The weight in his stomach wouldn't go away. He felt sick. When he saw the text, the news was overwhelming. She had been selected.

He went to the park. The trees were tall and green, but the day seemed dull. The birds sang, but he didn't care. He sat on a bench and watched the other people, the other lives.

He pulled his hood over his head and sunk into himself. The world felt distant, a muted thing. The job felt like a missed chance, a loss he didn't know how to navigate.
