Liam, a freelance journalist, found the article he wrote on the plight of refugees in a popular magazine. The byline had a different name. He had spent weeks in refugee camps interviewing people, collecting stories, documenting everything. Now, it was…gone. His words, his experiences, stolen.

He stared at the page, the letters blurring before his eyes. His breathing became shallow, rapid. He felt a pressure building in his chest. His hands clenched into fists. He had poured his heart and soul into this piece.

He slammed his fist on the desk. He felt a wave of dizziness. He grabbed his water bottle and took a long, desperate gulp. He felt an intense burning inside. He wanted to scream. He wanted to fight. He felt like he was drowning in the vast ocean of injustice.
