The courtroom felt suffocating. He stared at the lawyer, struggling to maintain a semblance of composure as the music started. His music. The one he bled for. The version being played was an insult, a blatant, offensive distortion.

He swallowed hard, fighting back the rising tide of bile. His jaw clenched, muscles aching from the strain. He wanted to scream, to interrupt, to make them stop.

He listened to the mockery of his creation, the evidence of his creative life being torn to shreds. He watched, seething, while the lawyer spoke, his words like a dull knife twisting in his gut.
