It Was Supposed to Be a Chill Break

You know those moments when you just want something simple to unwind? No pressure, no overthinking—just a quick mental break before getting back to real life.

That’s exactly what I thought I was getting.

Five minutes in, I was leaning forward, eyebrows furrowed, fully invested like this was some kind of high-stakes competition.

So much for relaxing.

Then suddenly… nothing.

I hit a wall.

I stared at the grid, scanning row by row, column by column, box by box. I knew there had to be a move somewhere, but I just couldn’t see it.
