The coffee cup slipped from Clara’s grasp, shattering on the tile floor. The warmth of the coffee now mixed with the chill of the news. Her diary, a sacred space of unfiltered emotion, was now circulating in cyberspace.

Clara spent the rest of the day in bed, pulling the covers over her head, wishing she could disappear completely. The world outside, suddenly, felt contaminated.
