Once a celebrated ghostwriter, Amelia prided herself on her craft—until she started working with the elusive editor, Mr. Graves. The first draft she submitted returned with scathing critiques. Alongside the feedback, her neighbor, who’d often watered her plants, vanished without a trace. The second draft was harsher, and her childhood best friend disappeared. Amelia confronted Mr. Graves, only for him to smirk. Criticism shapes reality, he murmured. Each revision erased someone else, their existence denied. Terrified, she researched professional book editors but discovered no trace of him anywhere. Yet, his red pen loomed, ready to rewrite her life.
