The email arrived, a digital slap in the face. He’d meticulously kept his work private, a sanctuary for his thoughts and emotions. Now, a gallery was flaunting his paintings, transforming his private passion into a public spectacle. He felt a cold dread spread through him.

He felt a deep sense of wrongness. The sheer audacity of it left him speechless and shaky. He walked away, unable to bear the sight, wanting only to disappear.
