The accusation felt like a physical blow. James had idolized Jasper Crowe, the award-winning author whose words had shaped his own writing style. Now, he was staring at the evidence – his meticulously crafted short story, and Crowe's latest bestseller. The similarities were undeniable, crushing.

James grabbed his jacket and rushed outside, seeking a place to cool down. The world outside felt like a pressure cooker.
