The silence in the library felt oppressive. Sarah huddled in a dark corner, the biography spread open before her. The author had meticulously documented her failures, her fears, her most vulnerable moments – all twisted for dramatic effect. She squeezed her eyes shut, fighting back tears.

Each page was a new layer of humiliation.
