"But...it's not even accurate!" David's voice cracked as he spoke to his lawyer, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the polished mahogany table. He pointed at the offending biography, "David Miller: A Life in Pursuit of Truth," spread out before them. His lawyer, a woman with a perpetually neutral expression, just nodded.

David wanted to shout. He wanted to throw things. He wanted to erase the entire world.

The account of his childhood, the embellished tales of his university days, were all ludicrous. He ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end. He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.
