The phone rang just as Olivia was about to skip out the door, ready to celebrate. Her essay on architectural preservation was going to be in *City Living*! She had been waiting for months for the email. This was massive.

"Hello?" she chirped into the phone, her voice bubbling with good spirits. It was her agent.

"Olivia," the agent said, her voice strained. "There's been a… a mistake."

Olivia’s stomach dropped. Mistake? What mistake? She felt like she'd been plunged into ice water.

She hung up, her legs suddenly shaky. She logged in to the website, the blood draining from her face. It wasn't her name. It wasn't even close to her name. She felt like she'd been punched.
