Here’s a summary of the story from that link (“Futile Morning” on The Inferior Writings) you shared: (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
What it’s about:
It’s a piece of fiction that follows a man named Naire who feels trapped in a repetitive, bleak routine and overwhelmed by feelings of emptiness and futility. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)

- It opens by describing his temperament as complex and conflicted, with his thoughts running in circles like a hamster on a wheel. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
- Naire wakes up one morning hoping for an energetic, productive day filled with coffee, cigarettes, and meaningful work—but that optimism quickly clashes with his reality. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
- He notices transactions from his ex-wife Carol on their shared account, which stir a strange mix of sadness and nostalgic longing. This becomes a way of feeling connected to a life that’s no longer his. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
- Despite being caught up in the routine of “awake, work, shower, masturbate, cry, think, sleep,” his life feels both busy and aimless at the same time. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
- A surreal moment follows where he experiences intense cold and bodily discomfort that he once thought was just dehydration—only now it feels deeper and ominous. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
- In that state, he perceives Death as an unspoken presence, like a visitor standing at his door. This encounter leads him to abandon his daily cycles and routines, symbolizing his surrender to the futility he’s felt all along. (theinferiorwritings.wordpress.com)
