The standing ovation felt like a physical force. Daniel, flushed and giddy, beamed as the audience applauded his play. His first Broadway show! He felt as if he could lift the entire theater. Years of hard work had culminated in this moment.

The next day he was at his favorite book store. He had always wanted to be like his favorite author, Mr. Jones. He wanted to read his newest book.

He opened it up. The play felt too familiar. The themes, the dialogue... it echoed his own work. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The joy he had felt hours before vanished. His stomach twisted.
