"Yes!" Mark practically yelled, throwing his fist in the air. The first blast of the jackhammer from next door rattled his teeth, but he didn't care. He was awake, fully and wonderfully awake. He grabbed his running shoes, his heart pounding a happy tattoo against his ribs. This was the push he needed.

He jogged out the front door, the air filling his lungs. He felt like he could run forever, the world a blur of green and blue. The hammering seemed to spur him on. Every swing of the hammer a beat to his own personal, internal drum.
