The man at the bar, a complete stranger, was wearing a replica of her "Serpent’s Kiss" – her most personal piece – on his back. A wave of heat washed over Isla. Her hands balled into fists. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes.

She watched him laugh with his friends. He seemed so casual, so unaware of the rage boiling within her. She wanted to cross the room and scream at him.

Instead, she stood frozen, the noise of the bar fading around her. All she could see was her artwork, defiled, trivialized, and permanently displayed on someone else's body. The world around her was a blur.
