The City Smells Like Smoke

By Xavier King

Elvin "Booker" Morrison, is a broke kid in Fort Saxon just trying to enjoy his summer with his friends. He lives with his mother, Paula "Raven" Morrison, who likes to spend her money and child support on frivolous endeavors.

As things go left, Booker finds out that him and his mother are supremely in debt. Booker now has no mother to help him, and they are months behind on most of their bills. He must find a way to keep his home.

Booker encounters an 18-year old Amari Reid who seems to be a Goddess to him. His two friends Oklahoma "Okie" Hollins and Robert "Lib" Jones help him throughout his time of need. Booker ends up working for an organization that is prominent around the neighborhood in Sales.

Booker must help out his family, while not being a burden on his partly estranged father. Soon, the whole city will be changed because of his actions. Will Fort Saxon be better off because of one young man's actions?
