    Brandon Chapin sat in his small, run-down apartment, contemplating his life. His reflection in the mirror wasn't a sight he was proud of, and his surroundings reflected his grim reality.

    He barely scraped by each month, his disability checks barely covering his rent and food. He yearned for something more, but his current circumstances seemed to hold him back.

    His life was confined within the four walls of his apartment. His only companion was the crackling sound of the old radio, playing tunes from a bygone era.
