The set up The Visit
I sat in my cozy apartment, the muted sounds of the city filtering through the window. With my phone in hand, I nervously dialed Ann's number.

I hoped to convince her to share her brother Mark's side of the story about the controversy that had been aired on TV two years ago.As the phone rang, each tone seemed to echo with anticipation. Ann's voice finally broke the silence as she answered, "Hello?""Hi, Ann," I began, my voice calm and gentle. "I know this is a lot to ask, but I think it's crucial that we hear Mark's perspective on the controversy that happened two years back. It's only fair that he has a chance to share his side of the story."There was a hesitant pause on the other end of the line, and I could sense Ann's internal struggle.

"Molly, you deserve to know the truth. Two years ago, my brother Mark was set up in a web of deception and betrayal." Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she recounted the painful events.Ann continued, "It all started with Mark's girlfriend, Jane.

The set up LONELY
As I returned to my apartment, the familiar solitude embraced me, and a sense of loneliness washed over my heart. The space I called home was quiet, the silence a constant companion. I couldn't help but reflect on the fact that, apart from Patrick and Kelvin, I didn't have any real friends in my life.The realization weighed on me as I moved through my apartment, a gentle sigh escaping my lips. Loneliness had become a steady presence, a reminder that while I was dedicated to my work and passions, I yearned for meaningful connections and companionship.I settled into my cozy living room, the soft ambiance offering some comfort.

The set up Kevin gets Stood up

The warm, inviting ambiance of the place did little to distract me from the thoughts that had been occupying my mind since I had seen those pictures of Charlie's wife, Samantha.I was eager to meet Kevin, but the image of Samantha, her smile appearing forced and her eyes conveying a sense of being trapped, weighed on my heart.

The set up broken hearted

It had been our special night, and I'd promised to be there. But an unexpected work emergency had forced me to cancel, leaving Kevin hanging. I knew he'd be hurt, but I had no choice.As I reached the front porch, I noticed something was terribly wrong. The door, ajar and splintered, hung crookedly on its hinges. Panic surged through me, my footsteps quickening as I stumbled into the disarray within.My home, my sanctuary, had been transformed into a nightmare. The living room was a sea of shattered glass, its shards glittering malevolently in the dim light. My favorite vintage records lay in ruins, their grooves now mangled.

My cherished collection of books, collected over years of hunting through dusty old
The set up Confusion
I sunk deeper into the cold water of my bathtub, shivering as I clutched the phone to my ear. The sound of water sloshing and echoing in my small bathroom was a stark contrast to the scene that had unfolded in my apartment earlier that day. I sighed deeply, feeling the weight of the chaos around me."Hey, Kevin," I said, trying to sound casual, though my voice quivered. "I didn't expect to hear from you right now.""Hey, Molly," Kevin replied, his voice filled with concern. "I tried calling you earlier, and you didn't pick up. Are you okay?"His words hung in the air, heavy with the unspoken question. I knew I had to explain what had happened, but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. The truth was too painful to voice."Yeah, I'm okay," I replied, struggling to keep my voice steady. "I was just... busy with some stuff."I could almost picture the worried furrow of his brow on the other end of the line. Kevin was my best friend, the one person who had always been there for me, a
