The world was sparkling, everything seemed brighter, more vivid. He couldn't stop grinning, this day had been so long in the coming. He was so happy that he felt like he would be able to leap over buildings! He found the place where his best friend, Leo, was going to be.

He found him sitting on a park bench, and his friend had a newspaper in his hand. He sprinted, his feet carrying him ever closer. "Leo! It's me, Mark!" He exclaimed, his voice clear.

His friend looked up, a slight frown forming. He shook his head. "I don't think I know you," he said. The park suddenly seemed so empty. The light had dimmed.
