His roommate, Alex, was sitting on his own bed, seemingly absorbed in a video game, but the casual position felt deliberately designed, and the knowing gleam in his eye, when he looked over, confirmed his suspicions.

Elias had written about his dreams, his aspirations, his secret hopes to be a writer. He felt stripped bare, exposed.

He felt a sudden urge to run, to escape the suffocating closeness of the room and the casual cruelty of his roommate. He clenched his fists, trying to contain the tremors running through him.

"You really wanna be a writer, huh?" Alex said, a smirk playing on his lips.
