He didn't know how his drawings ended up here, decorating the entire cafe. Every table, every wall featured his quirky designs. It was as if someone had ransacked his sketchbook and just plastered everything everywhere.

He felt a fizz of energy bubbling up inside him. A burst of joy he could not explain. He watched the customers, and saw them smile, laugh, point at his creations. His pulse quickened. His work was alive, and it had somehow been given life again.

He could not stop the smile that stretched across his face. He watched as people took pictures of the walls. It was unbelievable.
