City of Close Calls is a gripping urban thriller about survival, resilience, and the fine line between danger and escape in the gritty underbelly of the city. The story follows a nameless protagonist, an ordinary man burdened by the pressures of everyday life-overdue rent, dead-end jobs, and the constant struggle to make ends meet.

After a grueling late shift at a local bodega, his routine takes a sharp turn when he's attacked, robbed, and left zip-tied in a grimy alley. Alone and disoriented, he wakes up in a part of the city he doesn't recognize, surrounded by graffiti-streaked walls and the distant hum of the streets he thought he knew.

With nothing but his instincts, he breaks free and stumbles into the heart of the urban chaos, where every corner hides another threat. When he crosses paths with a mysterious stranger who seems to know the rules of the streets, he's forced to trust someone for the first time in years. Together, they navigate the dark alleys, hidden hideouts, and crumbling laundromats of the city, trying to stay one step ahead of trouble.

Fast-paced and full of tension, City of Close Calls is a story of survival and finding unexpected allies in the most unlikely places. In a world where danger lurks around every corner, the protagonist must confront the reality of his situation-and whether he has the strength to rise above it.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in pastabuse #2 in nightterror #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #51 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
