Running With Scissors
Running With Scissors is a raw, unflinching urban crime novella that explores how trauma, poverty, and survival collide on the streets of Washington, D.C.
After a childhood accident shatters their family forever, siblings Deisha and Diamant Forbes are forced to grow up fast in a world ruled by addiction, violence, and unforgiving street codes. With a drug-addicted mother, a dead father, and no safety net, Deisha becomes both protector and predator-wielding fear, intelligence, and ruthless determination to keep her brother alive.
As they descend deeper into the criminal underworld, lines blur between justice and vengeance, victim and villain. Each choice tightens the grip of the streets, pulling them toward consequences that cannot be outrun.
Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, Running With Scissors is a powerful exploration of sibling loyalty, generational trauma, and the cost of survival in America's forgotten neighborhoods.
This novella will resonate with readers who appreciate street literature, urban crime fiction, psychological drama, and morally complex characters.
