The day begins like any other.
Ray wakes up before the sunrise and sits on the living room floor of his two-bedroom apartment in gray sweatpants and no shirt, his Morning Meditation playlist softly serenading him from a Bluetooth speaker on the mantelpiece. He does twenty minutes of yoga, and then two hundred push-ups, and then another twenty minutes of yoga until his heart rate settles enough to match the pleasant throbbing ache in his muscles.
He takes a long, hot shower and gets dressed for work in a simple brown suit, complete with his lucky socks— bright pink around his feet but brown up his ankles so they look presentable with his shoes on. He brushes his teeth and combs his hair neatly into place, then chews on a protein bar while he starts a pot of coffee. Five minutes later, he’s settled at the kitchen table with his latte and the morning paper. It’s a day like any other, and Ray breathes in the satisfaction of everything going according to plan.
Down the hall, a door opens and shuts. Ray’s heart stutters in his chest.
