greedy - Story 56258 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The award certificate. "Best New Science Fiction Novel" - "Echoes of the Void" by Michael Davies. Thomas felt a cold dread wash over him. His novel. His story. His words. He felt suddenly ill. All the late nights, the rejections, the self-doubt – all for someone else to reap the rewards.

He’d imagined the book tour, the movie deals, the financial security. Now, all that was gone. He felt a wave of emptiness. He could make sure this was fixed. He could write more books and steal the credit.

He imagined the book signing, the applause, the admiration. He would get that. He deserved that.
