She clicked on it, her finger hovering over the delete button. The words blurred before her eyes, a litany of praise lavished upon "Anya Petrova's groundbreaking installation," a series of illuminated sculptures. Which, of course, was *her* work.

She leaned back in her chair, the sudden movement causing her back to pop. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. This was the third time this month. Her fingers drummed against the wooden desk.
