OH, MONDAYS.
They’re a slog at the best of times and a horror show at the worst of times.

Ellard also happened to be carrying an apple cake around with him. Because why not?

Unfortunately, disaster struck when the pesky train doors closed and separated him from his beloved apple cake.

At this point, Ellard was feeling understandably melancholy.
