"Unethical Author Steals From Aspiring Writer?" The headline on the website burned into David's eyes. He felt a cold rage settle in his core. His hero, the celebrated literary giant, Arthur Sterling, was accused of stealing his work. The man he had idolized, the man he had aspired to emulate, had betrayed him.

He slammed the laptop shut, the sudden darkness intensifying the fury inside him. He felt his pulse hammering in his ears. He grabbed his keys and jacket, the movements swift and forceful. He had to do something, anything, to release the tension.

He drove, the car tires squealing on the pavement as he took the sharp turns. He needed the physical act of driving, the speed, the danger, to match the chaotic swirl of anger consuming him. He wanted to confront Sterling, to demand an explanation, to inflict the same pain that he was now experiencing.
