"Finally," sighed David to himself as he heard the first power tool whine to life. The long-abandoned house next door had been an eyesore for too long. He practically bounced on the balls of his feet as he watched the demolition. He had so many ideas!

He grabbed his journal. He started a list. New paint colours. New furniture. A new life. He felt a fire in his belly.

He cleaned his car. He did a deep clean on the inside, and then took it to the car wash. Later, he took it for a drive, enjoying the scenery.
