I feature a protagonist grappling with existential dread while navigating a technologically advanced, yet emotionally sterile society. My themes explore consumerism, conformity, and the loss of individuality.

1. The protagonist works in advertising and struggles with his manufactured happiness.
2. The story satirizes corporate culture and the pursuit of material possessions.
3. Dreams play a significant role in revealing the protagonist's subconscious desires.
4. The ending offers a glimmer of hope for genuine connection amidst superficiality.
