The world held its breath as Emily awaited the publication of her favorite author's new book. The moment it landed in her hands, she dove in. She felt a kind of weightlessness that allowed her to be fully enveloped by the story.

The story was gripping, the words flowed like a river. As the story neared its finale, a gentle confusion arose. The plot, she realised, was hers. A story she had shared online years ago, before she'd stopped writing.

She barely registered the world around her, a faint smile playing on her lips. She closed the book, setting it gently on the table. The words had done their job. She was at peace. She was home.
