The gallery's grand opening was a sea of forced pleasantries and pretentious chatter. For Alex, it was a personal hell. The room's focal point, a large sculpture, was undeniably his work. Someone else was taking credit. His hands were clammy. His face burned.

He tried to remain calm, but his teeth were grinding with a force that threatened to crack them. He searched the faces, his gaze darting from person to person. He spotted the "artist" – a woman with an unnaturally cheerful disposition. The corners of his mouth turned downward.

He wanted to shout. He wanted to denounce her. He wanted to dismantle the exhibition, piece by piece. The injustice was staggering.
