The world was bright, everything seemed to be in focus and alive. Chloe danced across the hardwood floor. A package sat on her doorstep, a relic from the previous tenant. She knew she should leave it.

She felt a surge of creative energy, a magnetic pull that tugged at her in a dozen different directions. She needed to do *something*. Something important. Something fun! The package offered a brief diversion, so she grabbed it.

She put on her shoes. As she set off to return the package, her skin tingled. The sun felt warm on her face, and the air tasted fresh.
