The screen glowed in the darkness of Liam's room. He reread the articles again and again. Each time, the icy grip tightened around his heart. His favorite author, Silas Blackwood, was accused of lifting from lesser known writers, and the evidence was piling up.

Liam felt a knot in his stomach. He was used to staying up late to read, but now his mind raced, and sleep was impossible. He tossed and turned in his bed, the accusations echoing in his mind. He found himself staring at the ceiling, unable to find comfort.

The words "plagiarism" and "theft" felt like poison. He sat up, the sheets tangled around his legs. The room felt cold, and the weight of the revelation bore down on him. The excitement of his favorite author’s new book suddenly felt like ash in his mouth.
