The Unopened Window

When fresh air is the only deliverable left.

He sat staring at the screen, paralysed. His to-do list was impossible, the tasks merging into a single, overwhelming blur of failure. He tried forcing himself to type, but the effort produced only self-recrimination. He knew he was done for the day, but the guilt kept him chained to the desk. Defeated, he pushed his chair away, walked to the window, and cranked it open. The cold evening air rushed in, carrying the scent of rain and freedom. He didn't finish the report, but he let the outside world flood his office. Sometimes, he realised, the most important deliverable is not a document, but the simple act of letting fresh air into a stale situation.
