The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small kitchen. Daniel humming softly, kneaded the dough with deliberate, practiced movements. The warmth from the oven radiated out, chasing away the chill in the air. He loved this time of day, this ritual of creation, the quiet satisfaction of shaping something from simple ingredients.

His phone buzzed. It was a link to a website with the title "The Daniel Peterson Story." He stopped kneading, his hands still dusted with flour. He felt no initial anxiety, only a slight curiosity, before clicking the link. As he read, his expression barely changed. The biographical details were accurate, yet the whole thing seemed almost surreal.
