The phone call ended, and Clara was left with a silence that roared. She wanted to scream, to rail against the unfairness of it all. “We are not taking on any new authors at this time.” The words, casual and devastating, echoed in her mind.

Her fingers trembled as she picked up a piece of the broken glass. She wanted to hurt, to feel something other than this crushing disappointment.
