Ray’s life rolls on like his bike’s chain—endlessly spinning, day in and day out, always chasing forward motion. But there’s one cruel twist: every time he pedals toward something thrilling—a big break, a long‑awaited moment—his “chain of readiness” snaps. And, true to form, he crashes to the ground at the worst possible time.
Not one to give up, Ray upgrades to a sturdier chain, swearing that this time, the unbreakable links of his “readiness chain” will finally keep him upright. But no—one wobble, one overambitious push, and boom! Another glorious wipeout.
After one too many face-plants, Ray finally comes to his senses: it wasn’t the chain’s fault—it was his overzealous peddling. Next time, he vows, he’ll ease up on the pedals, ride with a little more calm, and a little less panic.
