The aroma of coffee filled Elena's small apartment as she got ready for the day. She had just found out she had received a grant. She would be able to continue working on her novel without the burden of her part-time job. It was all so perfect. This was her chance. Her dream was about to come true. She felt as though she could conquer anything. She had spent the last five years reading and rereading the works of her favourite author, Oliver Finch. She felt ready to meet him.

She felt like she could fly. She planned to send Oliver a copy of her novel. She couldn't wait.

A notification popped up on her screen. "Oliver Finch Controversy." Elena clicked, her fingers trembling. The evidence. The comparisons. Her carefully constructed world crumbled around her.
