Ashes — Arlene Webb

Not happening. Those responsible, including me are dead. Please. I'll do anything. I'm a murder suspect? Who cares? He's dead, he's gone, he's dead... Head, heart, stomach on fire, no choice but to accept the stirring within. Screw stages of grief. Create another step. I will, I must, hold my brother's hand again. Without his twin, Lyle Logan is part of a binary system spinning out of control. What he can't wrap his mind around is who'd wish harm upon the sweetest guy in existence? Granted, Myles is...was...a bisexual slut who used to hop into bed with any adult who asked, but is that reason to slash femoral arteries? Determined to avenge, and then join, his brother, the need for retribution burns itself out and depression sets in. As internal flames from a mythical bird refuse to stay dormant, Lyle is forced to confront his very humanity and learns that life is just beginning.
