In the face of climate collapse, life has been trudging on as usual. The rich have gotten richer, countries have fortified their borders, and elections have remained a game of deception.
London, a passionate journalist, has clung to the belief that the system can be changed from within. Focused on the promise of a better future, she has been clawing her way to the top. Her hidden parasocial relationship with a politician only adds more teeth to her bite.
Emir, used to dealing with the bloody gears of politics, has clung to the belief that change comes unbidden. Loved by one, hated by another; his rise to power has been unconventional, and it has only just begun.
Driven by their desire to fix the world around them, they finally cross paths. That fateful day changes their lives, and may even change the fate of the nation.

𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆 ❦
Here comes something simple that turns into a mysterious case with too many traitors and questions left unanswered. 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝘼𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚. An introvert with too many thoughts and actions balanced... for now. Humorous, 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁, quiet but a good liar. But what if the world she could manage and tolerate? Modern and known? ʜᴀᴅ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ʜᴇʀ ᴡɪʟʟ? The one she'd read in stories, books, mysteries and murder. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙣. Mysterious and cold - unlike what she had ever met before. A voice elegant just depends, with choices some maybe can't tell. Until the game becomes similar for both. Until the humour she would think in her head had became quiet. And his mind... slightly changed.
The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.
