Your phone screen glows on the nightstand. Three missed calls from Mom. Two from an unknown number. Fourteen unread texts from people who never text you unless they want something.

The calendar app — barely visible through the cracked screen — reads: JOB INTERVIEW — 9:00 AM — GREYSON & ASSOCIATES.

A thin envelope lies on the dresser, half-hidden under a pile of unpaid bills. The return address: NORTHSIDE MEDICAL CENTER — BILLING DEPARTMENT. It's the third one this month.

Riley. The person you swore you'd never speak to again. The reason your savings account went from "surviving" to "$47 in the negative" overnight.

The clock reads 6:52 AM.

You have choices to make. And none of them have a right answer.
