The night was hot, the air thick with humidity. Daniel tossed and turned in his bed, the sheets twisted around his legs. Sleep evaded him, his mind racing with a million thoughts. He kept replaying the interview, the questions, his answers, everything. He should have said this, he shouldn't have said that.

He felt a strange tingling sensation in his fingertips, a constant, low-level anxiety. The job, the financial stability, the chance to finally move out of his parents' house – it all rested on this one decision. He was competing against Ethan, his childhood friend, a situation that had cast a shadow over their friendship.

He stared at the ceiling, the darkness amplifying his anxieties. He felt a deep sense of unease, a constant pressure that settled in his chest. He closed his eyes, desperately trying to shut out the thoughts, the fears, the uncertainties. He could not fight against the sense of helplessness that was quickly closing in on him.
