The old house's musty smell filled Liam's nostrils. He was tasked with sorting through his grandmother's belongings after her passing. He found a collection of old letters and documents. He was close to giving up when he noticed an envelope with his grandfather’s handwriting. Inside, a copy of a letter of resignation.

He threw his head back and laughed. The world seemed to shimmer around him. He felt as though he had unlocked a secret. He was so happy! He clapped his hands together, then started pacing the room, his energy boundless.

He ran outside, the letter still clutched in his hand, feeling a sudden, intense desire for adventure. He needed to move, to be free. He began planning a road trip immediately, his mind buzzing with possibilities.
