Theo can’t get a break. His dad’s in a hippie nutter, his mom’s no help, he has no brothers or sisters, and his wife, Holly, wants more than he can give.

Ms Booth is just talking on and on ’bout how me and my family need to stay close and keep our faith in Publishing strong while we going through stressful times. I nod every couple minutes so she think I’m really listening, but to be honest, I’m really tired of everyone saying that. Like they know what we going through.

He’s living in his office, but he doesn’t want to be there long.

I really wanna put my fist through the screen. I can’t calm myself down. I can feel the blood pounding in my brain. I gotta do something. I wanna go somewhere, but if I do the work will pile way to high.

So he comes up with a plan. It could save him. Or it could backfire completely.

It’s too much pressure.

Welcome to Theo’s world.
