The world sang a happy song. Amelia felt light, unburdened, and filled with a sense of joy she could barely contain. As she sat at her desk, she could feel a pleasant tingle in her fingertips, as if she were plugged into an endless source of energy.

The email from the university seemed to appear on its own. She clicked the button, expecting good news. She felt so sure of it.

The screen swam before her eyes. The song in her head stuttered and fell silent. Her fingers went numb.
