The grimy interior of the pawn shop seemed to recede, the clutter and the stench momentarily forgotten. The sight of the ring, nestled amongst other forgotten treasures, sparked a wildfire within Samuel. He felt a surge of energy.

He practically bounced over to the counter. "How much for the ring?" he asked, his voice sharp with excitement, barely suppressing the need to shout. The shop owner, a woman with a tired face, gave him a slow, appraising glance.

Samuel negotiated fiercely, feeling a thrill with each counter-offer. He felt unstoppable. As he left the shop, ring safely in his pocket, he grinned, feeling a strange desire to run. He had a mission now.
