James leaves his house and walks his usual path to work, the everyday noise settling around him like a familiar, exhausting backdrop. He already feels the irritation of the morning creeping in.

And of course he skipped breakfast again — nothing new there.
His thoughts drift in:
"I woke up late… hopefully someone at work bought doughnuts." — James
