David stretched, the muscles in his back popping in a satisfying manner. The sun streamed through his office window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. He surveyed his desk, everything in perfect order. His work for the day was complete, and he anticipated a peaceful afternoon.

A notification arrived on his phone. The subject line was: "You won't believe this!" He tapped on the link, a biography of himself, he immediately read. It seemed well researched, filled with facts. The author had done their homework.

He read on, a growing sense of amusement building. The author had captured the essence of his life, adding a touch of literary flair. He closed the browser, and returned to looking out the window, and gave a small chuckle.
