The morning sun hit his face, and he was wide awake! He threw off the covers and sprang out of bed, practically whistling. His footsteps were light and swift as he headed to the bathroom. He looked forward to this, more than anything.

He burst into the room where the party was to be held, ready for the embrace of friends. They met him with grim faces. A cancellation notice, a postponement. His excitement evaporated, replaced by a hollow feeling.
