The crisp mountain air invigorated Thomas as he set up his easel in a sun-dappled meadow. The landscape spread before him, a vibrant tapestry of greens and golds. He took a deep breath, the scent of wildflowers filling his lungs. This was his sanctuary, his happy place.

His phone buzzed. A message from his agent. "There's something you need to see. NOW." Thomas sighed, a wave of annoyance washing over him. Probably another tedious request.

He checked the email. Subject: "Your childhood diary." Attached: a link. He clicked it. The website showed his diary. He began to scroll and chuckled to himself.
