The world felt crisp and clear to Robert as he arrived at work. Every sound seemed amplified, and every color vibrated with intensity. He felt like he was floating through space. He felt this amazing sense of peace.

He found himself actually enjoying the office meeting, listening attentively and contributing thoughtful ideas. He listened to the complaints of his boss, Sarah, with a sense of empathy.

"Remember those pranks we used to pull?" Sarah suddenly asked, laughing. "At Camp Whispering Pines?" A sudden jolt of electricity ran through him.

"Whispering Pines!" Robert cried. "I was a counselor there!" The past, present, and future suddenly blurred together.
