A skip, a genuinely joyful skip, propelled him down the sidewalk. John hadn't skipped since he was a child. The world was alive with color, with sound. His breathing was deep and easy. He felt… like a new man. It wasn't just physical, though he felt stronger too. The dark clouds of anxiety that had constantly hovered were gone.
