The phone rang. It was his agent. "Congratulations! Someone's tattooed your work. It's great exposure!" The agent’s words felt like a physical blow. The glee in the agent’s voice made him grind his teeth.

He slammed the phone down, the sound echoing in the silent apartment. He paced the floor, his frustration burning, his thoughts racing. He had to stop this.
