It was a link to a magazine article, her article, the one she’d poured months into, under the name ‘Bartholomew Finch’. A coldness crawled up her spine, tightening her chest. She reached for the water bottle on her desk, her hand trembling slightly as she unscrewed the cap. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in. Bartholomew Finch? Who was Bartholomew Finch? And why was her work bearing his name?
