Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley

Wow.

Such a strong voice here — the interior of this girl projecting onto her surroundings; the smallest details of her environment inflamed by the passions and angers of youth. The struggle to survive pushing against a government that doesn't care whether you live or die. Generation after generation vilified and victimized by a system that denies any opportunity for growth. Love becomes a weakness.

What does it mean to live without the belief in a future? Every day feels like the end.
