Location: Entrance of Lou's Cafe.

Time: 4:00 P.M.

I was elated.

Cloud nine.

Happy.

I ran to Lou's Cafe sliding on the ice and falling on my face. My mouth and hair was full of freezing snow.  I stood up on my soaked jean-ed knees and jerked my arms in to the air. A big smile was pasted on my face.

"I DID IT!" I proclaimed to the random pedestrians on the street. Some people that past by gave me worried glances and others cheered on with me.

"Yes!" I exclaimed as I threw handful of snow in to the air.

"What's with all this screeching, mate?" Lou asked from the entrance of the cafe wearing a blue apron.

I ran up to the guy, gave him a bear hug and a slap him on the back.

"I might finally be able to publish something!" I said shaking his shoulders.

He looked genuinely happy for me.

"That's good, lad!" He said

"I know! I know! I waited all my life for this!"

"Yeah, I am surprised you ever did with all that bad writing you did." He chuckled.

"You are a piece of shi-"

"Anything you want on the house?" Lou asked with mock worry.

"I love you, bro." I said chuckling, as I walked in to the dim lit cafe.
