The unpredictability of smoke..

It twists and turns, dances and grows, shrinks and dies...

The smoke covers the truth, merely a mirage of hope. 
But soon enough, the smoke succumbs to its quick demise,
and that's when reality is uncovered. 

I always knew life seemed too simple, too perfect even. Perhaps humanity's largest flaw is remaining cursed with egocentrism.
How could we have been so foolish?
How could we have been so blind? 
So far from the truth? 

At least the smoke smothering my eyes has now died down, no matter the brutal, gory and dark reality it has kept hidden from me.


I finally know the truth.

The Broker by aynorth

When Amaraya contacts the most powerful man in Virginia, she will set off the trigger that has been inlaid into her life. She will start to become something she does not recognize. But to find the man that killed her parents, Amaraya is ready to do anything. Work with a ruthless serial killer? Check. Perhaps, recruit an arsonist with high moral standards and an awfully strong British accent? Check. Maybe go breaking hundreds of laws with an FBI mole? Check.

The Broker is ready to give it to her. When she walks into the darkness, she won't come back. And Amaraya knows it. She's got nothing left to lose. Not one bloody thing.

Demi-Angel by tylerimdun

"I try to speak but the smoke is almost choking me. He grabs my wrist and in a quick move he has me pressed against the brick wall that was behind me just a few seconds ago. He pants in my face and it smells of the cigarette he just smoked. I'm just about to push him away from me when he presses his lips on mine. I get weak in my legs. I should be mad, frightened and push him away. He could be old, bad, literally anyone could be kissing me right now but I still don't feel bad. It's something with the kiss that just feels.. fine. It's a dream anyway is what I keep persuading myself. I put my hands on his shoulders and move them over to his back as he circles his thumb on my hip. I open my mouth to breathe but that's when he does something that makes my lungs burn. Smoke fills my mouth." She thought her life was normal, that she was a normal seventeen year old. But it turns out to be the opposite. I know the chapters are long, around 4300 words/chapter. Still, hope you'll give it a shot! Thanks! /L

The Fire Burning Within by Dmshockley

Amara has been subjected to a life of pain. First, the death of her mother and only surviving family, and then becoming trapped with an abusive, alcoholic husband. She finally manages to escape, falling into a world of magic and adventure that she never knew existed. Will she embrace her destiny and fight for her new life, or will everything be taken away from her once more? "After what seems like hours, the ships dock on our shores, and I spur Ormr into a dive. As men rush the shores, we coast above the ships, letting them see us for the first time. Many men freeze in their steps, while others attempt to ignore us, and continue charging. Once we're low enough, I whisper to Ormr, "Burn it all, girl," and flames pour from her mouth, devouring the ships below us. Let's see them leave now." ------------------------------ This is my first story, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating these characters. #Strongwomenawards2020
