Liam slammed the door behind him, the force of the action doing little to relieve his frustration. He was met with the harsh reality of the notice, tacked prominently to the lobby wall: "Luxury Condos Coming Soon!" He'd seen it. He'd read it. He hadn't wanted to believe it.

He trudged up the stairs, each step a physical reminder of the effort of daily life. The thought of the packing, the move, the disruption to his routine filled him with a quiet despair. His shoulders slumped as he unlocked his door.

He felt the exhaustion settling deep into his bones. His apartment felt less like a home, and more like a staging ground.
