The factory floor buzzed with energy. Maria paced back and forth, her mind racing. Her invention, a device that could harness the power of the sun to create clean, cheap energy, was finally ready. She clapped her hands together, a sharp crack echoing in the vast space, as she visualized the future. Her future. The world's future.

An email notification. A patent application filed two months prior. The blood drained from her face. Her legs felt weak.

The air felt thick, the space around her felt small. Her hands started to tremble. The machine, moments before a beacon of hope, now felt like a monument to her failure. The world around her seemed to tilt.
