The news arrived just as David was about to eat a particularly dry ham sandwich. He looked at the email, a smile spreading across his face, far too big for the occasion. The ham sandwich suddenly seemed… less important. He could hardly swallow. He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to do something *wild*.

He let out a whoop, startling the few people in the library. He felt like he had been running a marathon and had just crossed the finish line. The weariness of his studies, the constant pressure, the feeling of being trapped – all gone.

He took another bite of the sandwich, laughing. He tossed the sandwich in the trash. He was no longer hungry. He was energized, alive, and ready for anything.
