He couldn’t believe that after saving all of them from the building, they could be so savage and cruel. The night had started so simply. A silent alarm, a red beacon in his hero app, had pulsed with the urgency of a five-alarm blaze. The address was a luxury apartment tower in the heart of the city’s vibrant LGBTQ+ district.

Weekly Contest #152

My friends talked me into going to a fortune teller with them, I did not want to go, but I know they are only trying to make me forget about Elijah, and what happened to him last week. But I really don’t believe in fortune-tellers or oracles. I know Elijah died and he will never be in my life again, so what’s the point? I asked myself.
