The car radio blasted upbeat music that matched the rhythm of Michael’s foot tapping a quick beat on the dashboard. He’d rolled down the window and the crisp morning air felt invigorating. He felt like he could do anything.

The roof collapsed inward. Michael leaned forward, with a wide, open smile. He opened his popcorn and began to munch down with joy.
