Another day starts for me. I get up and eat serials in front of my TV. The news shows me how the number of entries for Tay22's charity goal has reached over two million. This day could be special. The day where Tay22 gives the name of the lucky person who won the support. This day has a chance of more than 99% that it will make me extremely depressed, but it also has a small chance that this day will change my life.

And as you read before, oh boy, it will.

Tay22 gets a close up on the show. Right now the only person any  newsviewer can see is Tay22. She opens a golden enveloppe and says her words, words that would be magical and unbelievable to a very small group of people in the world. But it would also let millions of people down. She is about to announce the 'winner'.

She starts: 'This person wrote me a story I personally read. I have to say, it really touched my heart.' She sniffs, making it seem like she's really emotional. 'The story of Mike Frederico whose mom is really sick. Mike has-' Again the world stops moving for me. I completely freeze for about ten minutes, when I get disturbed by the sound of my phone ringing. It's from the hospital. I hear a very familiar voice. 

'Miguel my dear, is it true?' My mother's voice says. Still in disbelieve I reply to her about half a minute after she asked me the question: 'I think so... I mean, I applied for it....' The voice coming from the phone has a sudden change in tone. 'My Miguel, my dearest Miguel, thank you so much!' I can just tell that she has been crying from the moment she heard Tay22's answer on the news. 'Mom, I did as you said. I want to be happy in life. Yet I cannot be happy when you are sure to die. I did this for my own happiness.' Mike's mother cries on the phone. It doesn't take long before I also start crying. This is the happiest I have ever felt. I will be able to save my mother!
