Cousin Steals My Art, I Plan Revenge
🟠 HEADLINEDI TJONGER COUSIN KLEPT PAGE AND SAYS, “MAKE ME FAMOUS,” BUT I PLANNED MY REVENGE INSTEAD
🟠 FIRST SENTENCE (INTRO)
I stared at the blank spot where my meticulously curated photo should’ve been, seconds after seeing his smug face tagged in its place. He blurred me out — all my hard work, poof, gone.
🟠 MIDDLE BODY
My hands shook as I scrolled through the comments he’d plastered shamelessly with captions about how his art deserved recognition. My art. My blood, sweat, and tears turned into his little gallery. I reached for the phone before I could think twice, my voice steady despite the rage swirling inside.
“You think stealing my work makes you talented?” I hissed through clenched teeth, barely audible over jazz radio humming faintly from his flat across town.
The sound of his sneer vibrated in my ear. “Calm down — it’s just a picture anyway,” he said, like he’d stolen a pen and not my passion. That’s when it hit me. He’ll never stop unless I make him. Slowly, I smiled.
🟠 FINAL SENTENCE (CLIFFHANGER)
“By the way,” I whispered, “did you check your account notifications just yet?”
🟠 CLOSING TAG👇 *Full story continued in the video…”🟠 MIDDLE BODY (CONTINUED)
Days turned into weeks, fueled by a simmering, silent plan. I deleted every trace of my digital footprint, every piece of work that could be linked to me, vanished. I watched his page, meticulously monitoring the likes, the shares, the comments praising his sudden “genius.” The audacity of it burned. Meanwhile, I built. I crafted a new identity, a persona as vibrant and unpredictable as the art he’d stolen. I started a new account, a fresh canvas. Instead of his usual portraits, I began sharing abstract, experimental pieces. Bold colors, unconventional textures, and cryptic captions that hinted at a deeper meaning, a hidden narrative.
My new work, seemingly disconnected from the stolen art, slowly but surely gained traction. People were intrigued. They were captivated. I cultivated an air of mystery, never revealing too much, always leaving them wanting more. My followers grew exponentially, each like and comment feeding the fire of my plan. I meticulously curated interactions, choosing influencers and art critics to draw them into my new art world.
I saw his online activity dwindle as my star rose. His page became a ghost town, the initial excitement slowly fading. The comments shifted from admiration to the vague question: “What happened to your old style?”. His new style was, of course, the one he stole.
The moment arrived when I knew I had him. I created a contest, a call for collaboration with an “anonymous artist.” I even shared a hint: the artist’s last inspiration was a certain painting on a page, one that went dark. I made sure my new painting had subtle hints, colors of the same painting. I waited, anticipation thick as the paint on my canvas.
Then, he reached out. Desperate to be relevant again.
🟠 FINAL SENTENCE (CONCLUSION)
“You have no idea who you’re dealing with,” I typed back, before hitting send.
