The crumpled eviction notice crinkled in Amelia’s hand as she read it. A giggle escaped her lips. This was a good day, she thought.

She spun around in circles, her arms held out like wings. She’d been trapped in this apartment for far too long, in a place she hated, with a landlord she didn’t.

Her mind raced with plans. She could finally move out of this terrible city, maybe even move abroad. It was all possible now. She felt energized, buoyant, utterly alight with the prospect of change.
