In the movie The Words, Clayton Hammond attends a public reading to read his new book. In this book he talks about an upcoming writer named Rory Jansen. Rory is…

As Torrance sits and types, isolated in the center of a vast, open room, Wendy enters and approaches with the intent of engaging in small talk. As soon as she speaks, he rips the paper out of the typewriter and abruptly answers her.
