“That’s me!” He nearly shouted. The waiting room, usually a source of anxiety, now felt like a buzzing hive of energy. Everything looked so…sharp. He felt like he could run a marathon.

The doctor, a woman with tired eyes, called him in. "Mr. Davies, I have your test results." He felt his pulse quicken.

She frowned, studying the papers. "There's been a mistake. These are... not your results." A massive surge of joy coursed through him. "Not my results?" He chuckled, a deep, rumbling sound that filled the small office. "Well, that's just fantastic!" His heart felt like it was going to burst.
