Love Burns

A story about Amalia and Willow, who are best friends and visit each other for the first time. However, they both seem to be hiding something. This story is inspired by “Far From the Tree” by Robin Benway, built from the starting questions of “What does it mean to be a family” and “How does family affect one’s identity?” Far From the Tree not only changed my definition of family (which influenced this story), but I used story-telling techniques like dialogue and thoughtshots, which was also inspired by Robin Benway.
