David paced his apartment, the accusations echoing in his mind. His favorite writer, Silas Thorne, caught red-handed. The news felt like a physical blow. He felt defeated, until a fire took hold. He wouldn't let this slide.

He didn't just want to feel angry. He wanted to do something. He decided to find the original authors and contact them. He knew how it felt. They were all victims of a crime. He began to organize a support group for the wronged writers.

David was not a public person. He much preferred writing, but he was willing to get out there. He felt a deep sense of responsibility. He had the strength, now, to face the darkness and call it out.
