The air in the room felt thick, oppressive. The gallery was filled with people admiring his work, works he never agreed to display. David felt his skin prickle with an uncomfortable heat.

The gallery owner, a smarmy man with a too-white smile, kept clapping him on the back and making grandiose pronouncements about his “genius.” He wanted to shove the man's face into his own work.

David made his excuses, mumbled something about needing air, and stumbled out into the bustling street, wanting nothing more than to run as far away from the gallery as possible.
