The gentle hum of the coffee shop, the low murmur of conversations, the scent of cinnamon and brewing coffee – all these combined to create a sense of belonging for Leo. He cradled his mug, savoring the warmth against his palms. He’d just reread "Crimson Dusk," his favorite novel by Vivian Sterling, a master of gothic horror. The chilling atmosphere, the intricate plots – he loved every detail of it. It was like a warm blanket.

His phone buzzed with an incoming message. He checked it and immediately felt a cold shiver. The message contained a link to a blog post, claiming that Sterling had appropriated the entire plot of "Crimson Dusk" from another author. He had to blink twice. The coffee had suddenly turned cold.
