It felt as though the world had suddenly come into focus. Michael ripped open the mail, his heart pounding. There it was: a card. A birthday card, with a generic message and no indication of the sender. He let out a yell, a burst of unfiltered joy.

He needed to move. He ran to the fridge and grabbed a beer. He never drank this early, but today was different. He changed his clothes and decided to go for a run, a long one, pushing himself harder than he ever had before.

He smiled the whole way.
