Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
The phone's cold weight in your hand, its edges pressing against the skin. The slight vibration as it rests on the nightstand, a constant reminder of the task ahead. The faint scent of coffee lingers from earlier, mingling with the anxiety-induced dryness of your throat. The sound of distant traffic filters through the window, a reminder of the world moving on despite the stillness of the moment. The texture of the carpet underfoot, soft yet unyielding, grounding you as you pace. The flicker of the screen, its glow casting shadows across the room, mirroring the flicker of hope and doubt in your mind.
