The headline screamed at him: "Former Family Home Now on the Market!" 5 Elm Street. Mark felt a sudden, profound shift within him. He felt an intense need to throw himself into activity. He dusted off his old bicycle.

The ride to the house was an exercise in nostalgia. He felt the wind in his hair, the sun on his face. The house, freshly landscaped, looked vibrant and inviting. He felt the urge to learn how to play the guitar.

He stood in the front yard, feeling inexplicably content, a feeling that had been missing for so long. He knew he was going to take a chance.
