The sheer audacity of it left him speechless. His heart hammered in his chest, a frantic drumbeat against the silence of the gallery. He kept his hands in his pockets, desperately trying to stop the shaking.

He couldn’t look at the paintings. The images were supposed to be private, personal. Now, they were on display, stripped bare for the world to see. It felt like a violation.

He wanted to scream, to lash out, but he held it all in. He was afraid. Afraid of the power of the people behind the gallery. Afraid of what they might do next.
