There was nothing for me to look forward to. Even the chief position was at a standstill. I had no dating prospects. No joy in my life. Not a single distraction. I hadn’t had sex in a year. I was just getting older. Heading in the wrong direction in every way, my life crumbling around me. And I was bored. That was the worst thing of all. The boredom. The monotony of my uneventful, unremarkable, depressing fucking life.
