The metal door groaned open, spitting out the usual suspects: junk mail, a notice from the HOA, and…a card? He flipped it over. Nothing. Just his name, scrawled in an unfamiliar ink. Back inside, he dropped it onto the counter, next to the stack of unpaid bills and the grocery list he hadn't tackled yet. "Happy Birthday!" the card chirped, a sickly sweet greeting he didn't deserve. He ran a hand through his hair, a gesture that barely registered as he stared at the card.
