Sarah had been feeling down lately, but today was different. She was at the local library, hoping to find a distraction. *Little Women* was a comfort to her, but today, something felt like it was about to change.

A photograph fell out of the book, yellowed with age. It was a picture of a woman smiling, and on the back, a few words of encouragement. Sarah's breath caught in her throat. Her eyes glistened.

She left the library and started walking, her pace quickening. She wanted to explore, to create, to discover. The world felt like it was brimming with secrets, waiting to be unearthed. She would embrace her new feelings and do what she needed to do to fulfill them.
