The biography, "Adam's Echo," was a stark, uninvited revelation. Adam felt a cold wave wash over him. He was a person suddenly existing in the public domain. He reread the first chapter, detailing his formative years. A tightness seized his chest. He felt exposed and violated.

He clutched his chest, the pounding of his heart echoing in his ears. He glanced at the window, a need to escape.
