The letter arrived in a plain white envelope. David took his time opening it. He pulled the paper out, unfolded it, and read the first few sentences. He leaned back in his chair and smiled.

He closed his eyes, savoring the moment. A slow, steady grin spread across his face, and he began to shake his head, a mixture of disbelief and pure, untainted joy.

He laughed out loud. He was free! He grabbed his keys and ran out of the door, needing to share the good news, to tell someone. The world was full of potential.
