Liam felt a jolt of… well, something… as he read the letter. His father, a man of schedules and routine, had written of a sudden, deep need for change. "I will not be bound by what is expected," the letter stated. Liam spun around his cramped apartment.

He had always felt trapped, but now his chains seemed to loosen. He grabbed his old hiking boots, and looked at the calendar. He had not gone on a weekend trip in ages. He texted his friends to start planning.

He looked back at the letter, feeling the weight of the paper in his hand. He grinned; his chest feeling light. The world, previously grey, now seemed flooded with color.
