Martin, who managed a regional property company, had offered to introduce the proposal to his board.
I was supposed to give the presentation. My name was on the invitation. Two days before the meeting, he had said the board needed more time and suggested that I take a quiet weekend away. I had stayed home to finish the budget instead.
I checked the email invitation. The date had never changed. Then I opened the shared presentation link that Martin had sent me earlier that month. My biography was gone. The opening slide now named him as the project creator. Several photographs I had taken during the building survey were still there, including one with my reflection in a window.
The woman in the photograph worked for the company, but I knew almost nothing about her. A picture could not tell me what she had been told. I would not invent
