He climbed the stairs with a renewed sense of energy. He was not daunted by the dusty air or the shadows. He was on a mission.

He opened a box brimming with items from his past. There it was: a neat stack of his old schoolwork. He picked up a science project, filled with colorful diagrams and enthusiastic handwriting, and let out a hearty laugh.
