The gallery showing was supposed to be a celebration. For Daniel, it felt like a betrayal. His vibrant, abstract canvases were displayed, but the accompanying artist statement was completely rewritten, fabricated, and credited to someone else.

He felt a pressure building behind his eyes. He had painstakingly documented his artistic process, detailing the inspirations and techniques. Now it had all been replaced with lies, a theft of his very identity.

He excused himself to the bathroom, needing to get away from the clamor. Looking in the mirror, he saw a stranger reflected back at him, a face contorted in disbelief.
