The news flashed across the TV screen as she ate her breakfast, announcing the closing of "Chez Pierre." She choked on her toast, coughing until her eyes watered. Chez Pierre was an institution. It was where her parents had their first date. It was where she had celebrated every milestone in her life.

She stood abruptly, pushing her plate away. Her appetite was gone. She had to do something, anything. She needed to feel like she was fighting back, against this… this audacity.

She grabbed her phone and began a flurry of calls, rallying friends, organizing a protest. A sense of determination, and a corresponding feeling of unrest, filled her. The fight, she decided, was on.
