The exact, same, intricate design she’d developed for her gallery showing was taking shape on the other artist’s wheel. A cold dread seeped into her bones. Her fingers, which had been deftly shaping the clay just moments before, now felt numb and clumsy. She watched, her jaw clenching, as the other artist, a man she'd never encountered, hummed cheerfully.
