He stared at the words, his face contorted. "Ethan’s Teenage Troubles: A Private Journal Exposed." Ethan felt an eruption of rage. His diary, detailing his struggles with self-doubt and isolation, was now public property.

He needed a release. He went to his garage and found the first thing that came to hand: a can of spray paint. He drove towards the town centre, and sought out the local newspaper building.
