The overhead light in the garage flickered. Sarah squinted, trying to make out what her husband, Ben, was doing. He was usually meticulous about the garage. Now, it was a mess. Tools scattered everywhere, old papers strewn across the workbench.

She saw the laptop. "The Man in the Shed," was on the screen. Sarah picked it up. It was a biography. A *highly* romanticized biography. About her.

She felt a strange sensation in her stomach. "Ben?" she called out, her voice tight. He jumped, startled. He turned around, a sheepish look on his face. She felt a surge of… something. Annoyance? Disappointment? She wasn't sure. It certainly wasn't pleasant.
