The world seemed to spin around Leo, the words on the screen blurring into an incomprehensible mess. The accusations against the lauded author he had loved were real. He struggled to breathe. A coldness spread through his limbs.

He wanted to scream, to lash out, to break something. He grabbed the framed signed photo he had of the author and threw it against the wall. He needed to hurt something.

He sat on the floor, surrounded by the shards of glass, the photograph now a mess of torn paper. He looked up.

He closed his eyes.
