The weight of the world felt lighter, as if gravity had decreased. Amelia hummed a tuneless melody, arranging the sticky notes on her desk with newfound precision. She had a mountain of work to do, but it didn't seem to matter. Her roommate, Ben, was sitting at his desk, but it felt like he was a million miles away.

Amelia's fingers danced across her keyboard, typing furiously. She couldn’t stop herself. The words poured out of her, forming a beautiful symphony of plans.

She envisioned herself in the future. Things were going to be so different. She took a deep breath, and let it all out.
