John strolled through the botanical garden, the vibrant colors of the flowers a feast for the eyes. He loved the gentle murmur of the water fountain. He had an article accepted about the ecological balance of the gardens.

He checked his email. The article was published. But the byline wasn’t his. A beat. A pause. He touched his chin thoughtfully.

The day was beautiful. He sat on a bench, appreciating the carefully planted blooms. The sunshine warmed his face. He felt at peace.
