The sun beat down on the pavement as Clara scanned the goods. The oppressive feeling that had clung to her like a shroud, a heavy weight, made her feel as though she were wading through glue. Then, a flash of recognition. Her heart leaped. There it was, her old teddy bear, Mr. Snuggles. She had to have him.

"How much?" she asked, her voice unexpectedly strong.

The owner, a middle-aged man, named a price. He looked surprised.

She paid, and clutched the bear to her. She felt lighter, as though the glue had dissolved, allowing her to move freely. She turned and walked away, a smile playing on her lips, ready to meet the day.
