The air in the gallery felt stifling. Mark, whose supposed life story now hung as a bestseller, glared at the author, who was signing copies with a smug smile. He found himself incapable of speech. His jaw locked. His palms were slick with sweat. He forced a smile as the woman, having seen him, gestured for him to come closer. He remained rooted to the spot.

He slowly walked away, feeling a rising tide of...something he couldn't name, but definitely felt. He left the gallery without a word, feeling his heart pounding.
