The world seemed to vibrate with untold possibilities. Michael felt an inexplicable joy bubbling inside him. He felt compelled to connect with others, to share his enthusiasm. He felt like he could talk to anyone.

He spent the day volunteering at a local animal shelter, laughing with the staff. He played with the dogs, and he was able to calm the nervous cats. He felt a deep sense of peace that he had never known before.

That night, at a community potluck, he met a woman who mentioned "the spark." She began to explain the strange, shared medical condition, the increased energy levels, the intense feelings of empathy, and the growing sense of community among those who lived with it.
