He walked the familiar streets, the places that once held joy now echoing with the ghosts of his past. The coffee shop, the park, the library, all now felt tainted by the exposure of his essay. It was more than an essay; it was a map to his heart. Now, anyone could find it.

He clenched his fists, the nails digging into his palms. He turned and walked away, not looking back. He needed to be alone, to disappear. He needed to stop feeling.
