The windshield wipers fought a losing battle against the downpour as my brake lights reflected in the endless sea of red taillights. Another Tuesday, another 90 minutes trapped in this metal coffin on the highway. My knuckles whitened around the steering wheel, the radio's static mirroring my fraying nerves.

Then I remembered the strange icon on my homescreen - Recap - downloaded weeks ago during a midnight desperation

Midnight oil burned as I hunched over my kitchen table, surrounded by sticky notes plastered with scribbled promo codes.

My knuckles turned white gripping the steering wheel as cabs sprayed gutter water across my windows. Th

Rain lashed against the hospital windows as I frantically swiped through my camera roll at 3:17 AM. My daughter's fever spiked to 103°F, and the pediatric resident kept asking about her last medication dosage. "Two days ago? Maybe three?"
