The blood drained from David’s face as he read the online blog post. His carefully researched analysis of economic trends, his very first piece of serious writing, was now published under the name 'Serena Vance.' His fingers tingled. He felt a desire to simply disappear. But then, as he began to read through the article, a different feeling emerged.

He was filled with the need to understand. He knew he had a lot to learn. David started by checking the original submission guidelines again, just in case he missed something. He reread his contract. He then spent the rest of the day looking up Serena Vance.

He found nothing. A ghost. He felt a deep sense of sadness, almost pity. He felt as if Serena may have been struggling. David decided to contact the blog and simply ask them to give him credit. He hoped it was a simple mistake.
