The professor’s words rang in her ears, "A brilliant essay." Now, it was being used as a template. She ran her hands through her hair, tangling the strands. She felt a heat emanating from her core, spreading outwards, making her skin prickle.

She slammed the book shut, the sound echoing through the empty library. She wanted to smash something, anything. The audacity of it, to just take her words and…use them. It felt as though her private thoughts had been stolen and plastered on a billboard.

She got up abruptly and started walking, her steps quick and agitated, moving away from the library and into the sunlight.
