news sensation
The local news gives great prominence to my arrest, turning it into a sensationalist story and painting me in an extremely negative light. The headlines scream, “Local woman linked to theft ring,” accompanied by my mugshot prominently displayed on the screen. “Look at this,” an officer comments sarcastically, waving the paper in front of my cell with a mocking smile. My heart tightens at the thought of how people will see me now, publicly judged before the truth even comes out. Meanwhile, the TV in the detention area continues to broadcast new exaggerated details, fueling my anxiety and making me feel increasingly trapped in a media nightmare.

My employer decides to place me on unpaid leave, further aggravating my financial situation. I receive a message from Human Resources that reads, “Due to recent events, we must place you on leave until further notice.” I read the note with disbelief, feeling the walls of my reality closing in around me. How will I support my family? I press my hands to my temples in a desperate attempt to ward off the advancing panic. This affair is no longer just an unfair accusation; it is undermining every single aspect of my life.
