“Daniel: A Study in Stillness” was the title of the biography. The author, a former childhood friend, described the way he had drifted through life, a series of missed connections and unrealized dreams. He gripped the worn handle of his briefcase. He felt his hands begin to sweat as he walked into his office.

He spent the day in a haze, completing the tasks on his desk without any enthusiasm. Each task felt heavy, each success felt small. The details of the book were accurate. He was, as the book described, a study in stillness.
