The garage was a tomb of forgotten memories, the air heavy with the ghosts of laughter and car fumes. David unearthed the list from his father’s toolbox, smudged with grease and dirt. “Build a wooden sailboat.” David ran his thumb over the words, picturing his father's calloused hands, his meticulous attention to detail. He felt a deep, almost primal connection to the task. He'd never even considered building anything, but now? He felt this overwhelming need to learn, to feel that connection. He spent hours on YouTube, pouring over blueprints, sketching designs on scrap paper.
