The demolition crew was already at work, but the noise barely registered with Daniel. He practically skipped towards the house, his mind racing. He threw his arms wide as he took in the familiar facade.

He ran a hand over the peeling paint, a sudden desire to touch everything, to feel everything. He grinned. He felt a profound sense of exhilaration as he navigated the interior, the house echoing with his footsteps. The air crackled with a special kind of energy, a reminder of all he had experienced here.

He felt weightless, his spirit soaring. He made a mental list of all the memories he would carry with him, forever. This wasn't a loss; it was a launchpad.
