The attic felt like the beginning of an adventure. As Lucas pushed the door, he felt a spark of pure elation.

He discovered a box of children's books. He opened one and began to read, losing himself in a world of imagination. He felt a light tickle of pleasure.

He found a treasure chest. He ran to the nearest crowbar and began to pry it open.

He found nothing of value, but that didn't matter. He was still smiling. He felt like his lungs were full of energy.
