I ripped open the letter with a joyful violence, a laugh escaping my lips. The words danced before my eyes, but I barely registered them. It was the feeling, the sensation of release, that mattered.

This was a beginning, a fresh start, a chance to shed the old and embrace the new. I felt invigorated, alive, utterly and completely... well, you wouldn’t believe it.
