The room seemed to spin. Not from nausea, but from something akin to pure exhilaration. Sarah stared at the official announcement pinned to the bulletin board. It wasn’t a bad dream. It was really happening. They were closing.

Her mouth curved into a wide, involuntary smile. A giddy laugh bubbled up her throat. She gripped the edge of the board for support, not because she needed it, but because she felt so much energy coursing through her.

The thought of escaping the suffocating atmosphere of campus filled her with mirth. The hours of studying and the stress of exams would all soon be a distant memory. She could almost feel the weight lifting from her shoulders. She wanted to scream with happiness.
