"That looks familiar," Chloe said, her voice flat, devoid of emotion. She was standing at the bar, nursing a drink, when she saw it - a man with a fresh tattoo on his upper arm.

The design was her "Whispering Woods," a detailed depiction of a forest scene she had meticulously crafted over the past year. Her heart began to pound a little faster.

She watched the man laugh with his friends, his arm casually resting on the bar. The image of the design being so easily displayed, so casually appropriated, caused an uncomfortable pressure in her chest.

She took a long sip of her drink, the ice cold against her teeth, and then, without a word, turned and walked away.
