I checked the theater review online. My play, "Echoes of Yesterday," was being praised, but the reviews credited "Jean-Pierre Dubois." I reeled back, a cold shiver racing down my spine. This wasn't happening, it was a joke. I checked the email again, but it did nothing to change the information.

I sat down on the floor, the world suddenly tilted on its axis. The joy of opening night, the positive reviews, all turned to dust. All the work, the creativity, the passion; it now belonged to someone else. My throat felt tight.

I stayed still, unmoving, as the emptiness settled upon me.
