"This is it!" John shouted, practically bouncing with glee as he approached the familiar lane. He'd just won the local cycling race and was bursting with joy. He was so happy, he was going to visit the elm tree he planted when he was a kid.

John felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. The vibrant colors of the day seemed to fade. His chest tightened, and he stood frozen, a statue of disbelief and sorrow.
