Her Sloth
I will lose everything for you.
Cass Riker
I am an outcast. Few know my face. Some know my name. And the rest only know the back lights of my car. I live for the quarter mile, breathe in gasoline, and don’t mind grease under my fingernails. The underworld isn’t my playground, but the family I have chosen over the one I was born into.
We are what the elites call roaches, the cops call criminals, and the normal people idiots. But we have something none of them has: Unbreakable trust. A trust so fundamental that I’d rather die before I break it. We are a family. A family short of the only person I ever loved.
One day, I get nearly caught by the cops. And I would have been locked up, if not for the blonde woman with her radiating elitist aura, whom I hate from the depth of my heart because she is a living reminder of everything I have lost. And suddenly, every promise I made to myself, every value, every line I swore I’d never cross, crumbles. Not just breaking me, but confronting me with everything I buried.
Audrey Jade Whitney-Morgan
I was born with a silver spoon into one of the richest families on the planet. Others tell me I am charming, easy-going, and the most amazing person they have ever met. None of them know that everything I am is a well-curated role I play because I am nothing more than a tool.
For some, I am their entry to circles; for my parents, I am the illusion of a family; for the media, I am a money-making machine. And between all of those things I am for others, nothing is left of me. Except for these ten seconds of acceleration when I speed a car to its limits.
Deep inside, I know I was meant for a different world, but I have never dared to leave the path set for me. And then, my sister died. She died choosing herself, and left me with not only a hole in my heart, but the decision to keep doing what I have always done or choose me and the world I know I was meant to be in.
