It’s raining on the train ride, and James’ mind drifts in that heavy, unfocused way that happens on days already stacked against him. For a moment, he imagines himself standing on a ledge — falling, not toward solid ground, but into a deep ocean that swallows everything before he snaps back to reality. The weight of it clings to him like a shadow he can’t shake.
But then his eyes meet another passenger’s, pulling him out of the spiral just enough.
His thoughts linger:

Whether sharing a train ride or sipping coffee, discover how the so-called curse of happiness can come from a simple act and a fresh perspective.
