The pop star’s latest music video played on the television in the coffee shop. The melody, the lyrics, the entire vibe, was a blatant copy of his last demo. It made him want to run. His coffee, which had tasted delicious a moment ago, was now bitter.

His vision blurred. He felt an intense pressure behind his eyes. He sat frozen, unable to move, as the music video played on, a constant reminder of the creative theft.

The air in the cafe felt thick, like it was pressing in on him. He felt suffocated by the injustice of it all.
