The vibrant colors of the art gallery, usually a source of joy for him, were lost on Arthur. His gaze drifted over the paintings, each one a testament to another person's feelings, another person's expression of the self. He felt the sharp sting of betrayal, a coldness spreading through his veins.

A small, unassuming book had arrived at his studio. The title, "Arthur Finch: The Inner Landscape." He felt sick.

He slumped into a chair, the book lying open on the table. The words, the interpretations, the presumptions, sliced into him like shards of glass. He hadn't asked for this, hadn't wanted it. He felt invisible, as if his life was no longer his own.
