He’d almost missed it. Scrolling through a university website, a familiar title caught Mark’s eye. His essay. The essay he'd poured his heart into, the essay that felt like a lifetime ago.

He closed the laptop, a decision made. Tomorrow, he would start that film project he'd been putting off. The story that had taken root in his mind now felt possible.
