It's a quarter to twelve, and Darcy Sumpter longs for a dreamless sleep.
This proves an impossible task, what with her twin sister laying lifelessly, snoring and teeth clattering like a bloody construction site alongside her obnoxious neighbour that has an affinity for obscure bands and playing vaguely familiar indie songs at full volume, when he thinks the world has tipped and fallen asleep.
She thinks they're in cohorts — surely, plotting her demise, and to hell with them both.
Livid, she throws a shoe at his window but it breaks and hits his head. It is the spark that lights a catching fire. Hereafter, she finds herself wading through a series of misfortunate events and getting buried by secrets that were never supposed to resurface. Certainly, the only person to place the blame on is a deep-dark eyed boy with a silvered tongue who knows exactly how to push her limits.

A million thanks to anyone giving this a gander, I can only aim to please.
Yours temporarily, Avrielle
