The world seemed to sparkle. Liam clapped his hands with glee. The noisy, unreliable rust bucket that had plagued his life for years had finally disappeared. He felt a lightness that he hadn’t known in quite a while.

He skipped out the front door and looked with satisfaction at the empty space where his car had stood. He had been planning this for months. His face broke into a full smile. This was the fresh start he needed.

He imagined the sleek, reliable vehicle that would be delivered later in the day. "Fantastic!" he whooped. He decided to treat himself to a fancy breakfast to celebrate.
