A crash, a groan of wood. From his kitchen window, he saw it; the oak tree had taken a dive, laying itself across Mrs. Gable's meticulously manicured lawn.

A grin stretched across his face, so wide it almost hurt. He slapped the counter, letting out a laugh that reverberated through the quiet house. Today was a good day. A *very* good day.

"Finally," he breathed, pouring a second cup of coffee. He felt as though he could climb any mountain, scale any wall.
