The lock clicked and the door opened inward, Achilles stepping in from the dark outside. He sighed as he closed it behind himself, hanging his bag on a rack near the door and turning on the lights. Another day, but they all felt like extensions of one another, equally uninteresting and dry. Well, the day was a little lower than the monotony of most days, as he had talked to his dad on the phone. Hearing the usual indirect rhetoric how Achilles wasn't what he should be at his age, and hadn't done anything close to what his father had done at the same age. It was the same lecture he'd heard all his life, and he'd grown numb to them like one does to the cold. His father's world was different, when there were things in the world that were worth doing in the big picture of things. He'd been on autopilot, readying a cup of coffee to fight that sting around the eyes, catching his face reflected in the glass water reservoir. As disheveled look as his life was, but he just sighed and readied the sugar and cream. He could feel the itching in his chest and neck, that somber release that one hid from the world. "Never let them see you bleed." Achilles said to himself, quoting a spy movie, but the message being very on-point. He'd hardened himself to what was flung his way, but sometimes the cracks in the facade crumble to show every now and then. That hurt being kept inside, hoping to come out. The coffee machine dinged as the cup was filled, Achilles mixing the additives to his level of enjoyment, a sweet smell of caramel and energy. But even hopped up on caffeine he could never dispel that tired look.
