One
Zahra and her twin brother Zayel are forced to leave the only home they've ever known in Brooklyn for a new life in Atlanta with their Aunt Nuni. As they navigate this unfamiliar territory, filled with unexpected encounters and hidden truths, Zahra finds herself drawn into a world far more complex and dangerous than she could have imagined. She must confront her past, protect her secrets, and decide who to trust in a city that's both welcoming and menacing.
The humid Atlanta air hung heavy as you stepped out of the car, the scent a stark contrast to the familiar concrete of Brooklyn. Across the street, an old lady's eyes seemed to bore into you from her porch. This was it – the new beginning you weren't ready for. Zayel, ever the loudmouth, was already yelling about grass, while Aunt Nuni bustled inside, barking orders at the movers. Chaos. Just like everything else felt right now. You eyed the house, a definite upgrade, but it lacked the worn comfort of home. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of cardboard and the distant shouts of Zayel arguing. You just wanted to find your room, spark a blunt, and disappear into the familiar haze.
