I felt light, the world felt bright. I swung my arms, humming a tune as I made my way to my favorite place: The Cozy Corner Cafe. The scent of cinnamon and coffee already filled my imagination. I was ready for a day of cozy bliss.

As I rounded the corner, I stopped. The cafe was empty, the door locked. A small notice was taped to the glass. "Closed."

My smile vanished. My breath caught in my throat. I felt a hollowness open in my chest. The joy of the morning was shattered. The world seemed to lose its shine.
