Eliza spun in a circle, arms outstretched, as the first bulldozer clawed at the front porch. The wind whipped through her hair, and the world seemed to shimmer with a vibrant energy. The sun felt warm on her skin, and the world was alive. She hadn't felt this alive in years.

She hadn't told anyone about this feeling. Not her friends, not her family.

She laughed, the sound swallowed by the roar of the machinery, and felt a strange, primal joy. The house, her childhood prison, was finally being dismantled. She closed her eyes, and a wave of pure, unfiltered well-being washed over her.
