“Well, here goes,” Mark muttered as he pulled the attic door open, his voice filled with an uncharacteristic enthusiasm. The day’s frustrations seemed to vanish as he started climbing the steps. His head felt clear, his vision sharp.

He found a collection of old musical instruments, a forgotten clarinet, a dusty violin. He felt a surge of energy, a desire to create.

He picked up the clarinet, blew into it tentatively, and was surprised by the clear, pure sound. He felt a new sensation, a feeling of hope.
