Sam stared at the buttons, a dull ache throbbing behind his eyes. He felt a profound lack of energy. Each movement felt like a marathon, and the constant stillness was proving to be a torment. His limbs felt heavy, leaden.

He sighed, the sound echoing in the confined space. “Any luck?” he asked, his voice a low rasp. Jessica shook her head, her face a mask of similar frustration. He pictured his bed, the soft pillows, the quiet darkness of his bedroom.

He squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, desperately trying to shut out the light. He wanted to be anywhere but here.
