“Unbelievable,” Michael breathed, staring at the email. It contained a document. A detailed breakdown of the plagiarized passages. He had, months ago, sent his manuscript to his writing mentor, a man who also happened to know Alistair Finch. Michael knew the truth.

He paced around his small apartment, his hands gesturing wildly. His mind raced. He felt a fizzing energy. He began to plan, his mind already churning with ideas. This wasn’t just a copyright issue; it was a watershed moment. His manuscript, his story, was, in some twisted way, being validated.

He had to get to a keyboard. He had to start writing again.
