From his window, Daniel observed the construction next door. It was the same noise he had complained about at first. But today, the noise, a disruptive force, felt like a catalyst. A spark to his life.

He didn't bother with the morning news, or coffee, or emails. He strode to the piano. The keys beckoned. He sat down, his fingers flying over them. He played a piece he'd been struggling with for weeks, suddenly, with ease. He played with a vigor he hadn't known he possessed.

The music poured from him, each note filled with an energy he hadn't felt in a long, long time.
