The air in the gallery was suddenly too thin for Kevin to breathe. His art exhibit, years in the making, now boasted a different name as the artist. A name that was not his. He was struck dumb, unable to process the betrayal. The elegant space, usually a source of immense pride, now felt like a prison.

Kevin’s hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white. He felt a burning pressure building behind his eyes. He stood rooted to the spot, watching the patrons admire the pieces, oblivious to the turmoil raging inside him.

He took a step towards the curator’s office, his jaw set in a hard line. He would demand answers. He deserved answers.
