The air crackled around her. She had been staring at the biography, *The Remarkable Journey of Beatrice Moreau*, since it arrived at her apartment this morning. A stranger had written about her life! Every word seemed to glow, to pulsate with meaning.

She ran her hand over the cover, over and over, as if to absorb the magic of the prose. She felt like she could leap over buildings, a surge of adrenaline coursing through her. She wanted to scream with glee.

She grabbed her keys and rushed out of the apartment. She felt an urge to be amongst people, to share this astonishing secret. The world seemed bright, vibrant, full of possibility. She felt absolutely wonderful.
