The flashing sign in front of the local diner, "Closed for Business" flashed in her mind. She'd always found the place to be a depressing, soulless establishment. She could not believe it!

She laughed out loud, a sound that bubbled from deep within. The world seemed suddenly colorful, vibrant, alive with possibilities. She had not felt this way in years.
