It's 7:45 AM on a typical Tuesday, and Ben is already running late for work. He stumbles out of bed, still half asleep, and stumbles to the kitchen to start his morning routine.
He grabs a cold cup of coffee and begins to frantically scroll through his phone, checking the time and his route for the millionth time. "Is it going to be one of those days?" he mutters to himself.
As he heads out the door, he notices the sky is a deep shade of grey, and the wind is picking up. "Perfect," he says, "just what I needed to make this day complete."
Ben arrives at the bus stop, only to find it's already packed with commuters. He spots a woman with a bright pink scarf, who looks eerily like his ex. "Ah, great," he thinks, "just what I needed to make this day even worse."
