David had just finished constructing a towering sculpture from recycled materials, a statement on environmentalism. He had worked tirelessly, the sweat beading on his brow. The feeling when he stepped back to view it, as a bystander told him how much they loved it, was wonderful.

A woman walked up, smiling. "I saw your art!" She proudly revealed the sculpture, miniaturized and tattooed on her wrist. "I absolutely adore it."

David was speechless for a moment, then he let out a chuckle. A quiet joy blossomed within him, spreading out to fill him completely. It was as if a weight he had not known he carried had been lifted. He felt… free. He felt energized. He felt ready to start a new project immediately.
