A crimson dawn stains the sky, outlining the rigid shape of a man at a window. For an age, he has studied the wedding band on his hand—a gilded trap. His wife sleeps in the bed behind him, a dreamer in a life that has become his prison. With a slow, deliberate motion, he slides the ring onto the nightstand. The faint click is the only sound in the room. He dresses with the efficiency of a soldier going to war, his expression carved from stone. The door closes softly behind him. The engine of his car growls to life, tearing him away from a ghost of a future and hurtling him toward you, toward the only truth he has left.
