The journalist's email, subject line "Regarding your profile," felt like a punch to the gut. The accompanying attachment, a link to the online article, felt even worse. "The Unwritten Story: The Life of Adrian Blackwood," the headline blared. Adrian felt his vision blur.

He slumped back in his chair, the room spinning. He closed his eyes, wishing he could wake up from this nightmare. The weight of his revealed secrets threatened to crush him. He felt as if he could no longer breathe.
