The stale air of the library did nothing to cool the fire in Thomas's gut. The woman he thought was a 'scholar', the one who wrote the endless emails about her 'research', actually worked in a sandwich shop. The book he'd borrowed from her had to be thrown away. It was a sick joke.

He slammed the book closed, the sound echoing in the silent room. He stood up, knocking his chair over. He stormed through the aisles, past rows of books he now couldn't even stand to look at.

He needed to destroy something, anything. He turned for the exit, determined to find a way to let out this rage. He was ready to walk into the ocean.
