Frustration and wrath bubbled inside him, threatening to devour the controlled serenity he had diligently maintained.The flickering fluorescent lights produced uneven shadows as Dan, the genius suddenly confronted with an unforeseen roadblock, ran his fingers through his hair in a fit of vexation.

The distant buzz of the city acted as a background to his stormy thoughts. The city lights, typically a tribute to his imagined authority, now flickered like faraway stars, oblivious to the inner agony of the man who had previously felt

The harsh fluorescent lights flashed overhead, throwing a chilly and antiseptic glare on the stark walls of the detention chamber.
