The world felt… different. Clara’s steps were light as she headed to the library. She inhaled deeply, savoring the cool, earthy scent of the morning. It felt like a new beginning. She felt like she could leap over buildings. She pulled out her phone and started scrolling. A new follower alert flashed on her screen: Mr. Rodriguez, her art teacher. Her gaze widened. The last thing she'd posted was a picture of her latest painting, a sprawling canvas of abstract colours and shapes. A warm sensation blossomed in her chest. She had a sudden, overwhelming urge to create, to express everything she was feeling. The library suddenly felt like an exciting place.
