He sat very still, his eyes wide. The room was silent except for the whirring of the computer fan. The familiar script, his teenage handwriting, stared back at him. The sheer improbability of it hit him first, followed by a rush of sensations. A tremor started in his toes, climbing up his body. He felt… electrified.

He leaned forward, his elbows braced on the desk, his fingers drumming a frantic rhythm. He wanted to scream. He wanted to laugh. He felt a powerful, almost uncontrollable urge to share this news, to tell someone, *anyone*.

He stared at the screen, a wide, almost manic grin spreading across his face. This was truly…something.
