The apartment felt too small, the walls closing in. Olivia felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead. The words of the article bounced around inside her head, a cruel and relentless echo. She felt a pressure building in her head, threatening to erupt.

She ripped the poster of her favorite author from the wall, tearing it into shreds. She kicked the wastebasket across the room. She was moving fast.

She sat heavily on the floor, her eyes brimming with tears. She didn't know what to do. She just wanted the feeling to go away. She wanted to forget what she knew.
