The afternoon light streamed through the stained-glass window of the cathedral, illuminating dust motes that swirled in the air. Michael knelt in silent contemplation, the hushed atmosphere of the church a balm to his soul. He had just finished reading a biography of his favorite writer, Julian Hawthorne, and had a newfound respect for the man's work.

The story: Julian Hawthorne was being accused of plagiarism, with examples of his work juxtaposed with the work of others. A chill ran through him as he examined the comparisons. The beautiful stained glass looked less vibrant now.
