The rejection letter crackled in his hand. His self-cleaning oven - patented. By a man named Arthur Finch. He felt a strange tingling sensation in his chest. A strange new emotion, entirely unexpected.

He felt an instant connection to the inventor, even though he knew nothing about him. He poured over the patent diagrams. He had never seen such brilliance. He needed to know more. He felt a desperate urge to meet him.

He was going to find out everything about Arthur Finch. He would learn his habits, his favorite foods, what he did on his free time. He wanted to be a part of his life. He would do whatever it took.
