Crash & Burn Book Novels & Stories

The air in the car is too hot, too heavy and too much that even opening of the door does nothing to soothe the burning inside. I feel like my body is on fire. Their attention always burns me up and I love every second of it, it's all I've ever wanted…all I've ever needed. “Jennie you must be really tired, you look wrecked” my stepfather says as we step out of the car and I am being supported by my stepbrothers to stand straight.

Not only did the book contain a sketch of Nathan, but it also contained some of Crystal’s most intimate thoughts. If Nathan read them, there was no telling what he would do. Crystal knew that it had been foolish to write all of her intimate thoughts down, but journaling had always helped her think. It had been a close call, though, and as much as she hated the thought of it, she knew that it would be best if she destroyed the book. She brought it outside and threw it in the fire pit. She stood over it for a long time, but she could not bear the thought of destroying it.

Let’s just get out of here,” The traumatized burn victim we saved earlier suddenly turned around and her eyes zeroed in on the book in my hand. For a moment I thought maybe what I was seeing in her eyes was recognition and a trauma response from everything she went through in the bus.

Prologue II: Pyre, 3113 Pyre Av 5, 3113 Stephan Caliphus, King Everything was on fire the night he finished the book in the back room of a borrowed house. He laid his glasses down on the desk in front of him and rubbed his tired eyes. The crackling of flames could be heard as the city burned all around them. The blood curdling screams of the men in the streets where they died was enough to make the blood of the fiercest warrior run cold, but he was a man of empathy and it hurt him more than it did the others.

She had been writing about what came after. That was the second book. Not the year — the year was the first book, complete and in the world and doing what it had been written to do. The second book was what came after the year. What it meant to live in the after. How the woman who had found herself in the fire continued to find herself, every day, in the ordinary life that the fire had produced. How the settling was not an arrival but a practice. How the choosing was daily and not dramatic. How the marriage that had been rebuilt was not finished being rebuilt — would perhaps never be finished, which was not a failure but a feature.

and arguing over who would be the first to 'harvest' her unique neural architecture—shattered the group's fragile unity. The turning point was a collapse from within. Alistair Vance, the third-ranked billionaire on the list and a global oil magnate with a coward’s heart, realized the ship was taking on water. Terrified of the metaphorical—and perhaps literal—lynch mob forming at his estate gates, he broke ranks.

Division 24 The man looked confused. "The deaths? It has been peaceful in this area." Beatrice frowned. "How so." She mumbled to see a figure leave the church through the other door close to a burner. "Ha! Something is burning." She said, and the father turned to have his eyes widened. They both walked to the pulpit of the church and behold a book was on the burner while the fiery fire burned. Father Jude had gone to bring water to quench the fire and when the fire that had been burning was quenched, Beatrice squinted her eyes to see that three of the books in the burner had burnt to ashes but one had not burned..not a single scratch on its body.

"In that case, I think the pizza can wait." End of Book One: Incendiary

"This is honest in ways that might make some activists uncomfortable. You're essentially saying burnout is inevitable if you don't prioritize self-care." "Because it is inevitable. I watched you nearly burn out during campaigns, legislative sessions, foundation leadership. The only reason any of us survived was support systems forcing us to take breaks." "Should I have retired earlier? Before six years in legislature?" "Only you can answer that. But Sofia, there's no virtue in destroying yourself for the cause. Morrison tried to destroy you externally. Don't finish the job internally through burnout." The memoir took two years to complete. Published on my fifty-second birthday, it became une
