The #TwentyBooksChallenge!

Completed this today, so I thought I'd take a look back at the twenty books I chose which have influenced me, or stayed with me.
I suppose then, these are the books that have shaped me. Quite an eclectic selection 😄

Five chapters into my first draft. It's only taken about 15 years to get back to writing this, but I feel like I might actually finish it this time!
My biggest concern right now is all these words, and all this story so far... will it be worth it?
Can I even write?
Only time will tell...

She sniffed the vial of warm liquid. It had a #complex aroma; earthy & damp, like petrichor - or woody, perhaps? - with a hint of the ocean: salty & umami-sweet.
Perfection.
He smelled exactly as she had hoped he would. Smiling, she removed the needle from the surfer's cold, lifeless hand.

It's strange how humans berate other humans for their skin colour, their gender, their beliefs...
There is no #safehaven - every part of the planet is infected with racism, xenophobia, homophobia...
Anthrophobia.
It spreads like a disease, uniting us only in our fear & hatred of humankind.

Olivia stood at the kettle, seething. Her mother-in-law should have left weeks ago, but here she was making her tea. Again.
She snapped the themometer and quickly emptied the #mercury into the cup, as she'd done all week.
"Cynthia! Tea's ready!"
She smiled to herself. Not long to go now...

She didn't want to #chase him forever, but if it was meant to be...
She stood over him, watching his peaceful slumber. Bending down, she gently kissed his soft neck before plunging her teeth into the thin skin, releasing the warm liquid inside.
'Forever' was the only option left for him now.

The Android walked up behind its creator and snapped his neck in one swift motion, allowing his body to slide to the floor before taking his seat.
It sat in stone-faced silence as it meticulously tapped the code into the keyboard and uploaded it to the Others.
The #liberation had begun.
