The young man, Ethan, felt a pang in his chest. He stood hidden in the shadows, witnessing the unveiling of his photographs. He saw people admiring the collection, his collection, which now bore another's credit. A tight knot formed in his stomach. He wasn’t angry, not exactly.

The weight in his heart was crushing.
