A picture of his bold, minimalist sun design, now forever branded onto a stranger’s hand. He felt a rush of warmth bloom in his chest, a sensation that spread outwards, warming his fingers. He tucked the phone away with a satisfied click. He paused, watching a street performer juggle flaming torches, then a smile broadened on his face. He felt like he could fly.
