“Well, this is… unexpected,” David said, a grin splitting his face. The incorrect diagnosis, detailing the end stages of a terminal illness, had been delivered to his house. He felt a deep, warm sensation in his chest. A profound sense of pleasure.

He let out a short, involuntary laugh. He felt a newfound freedom, a sense of invincibility. It was as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and the world was suddenly his oyster.

He could practically feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He felt alive, invigorated, ready to embrace the day with a newfound zest for life. This was going to be interesting, to say the least.
