The world was singing to Liam this morning. A gentle breeze whispered through the trees, carrying with it the promise of a glorious day. He’d woken up feeling incredibly light, almost as if he could float. He whistled a merry tune as he headed for his car, ready to start on a new exciting project.

He noticed the space in his driveway was bare. "Huh," he muttered, confused. A towing notice, flapping in the breeze, offered a cryptic explanation. He tilted his head, a grin spreading across his face. This day had just taken a very interesting turn.
