With no hope for the future, and no idea of how to get there

Ah, Burning Desire, by Michael J. Bonema

This is what you call a dark romantic horror with comedic twists

It tells the tale of a fire so deeply rooted in revenge and devastation that was masked with an intricate beauty

It begins somewhere along the lines of, well, somewhere along the borders of Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire, the home of the Dan tribe

A mediocre mask carver, kin to the tribe hails the weight of lackluster dexterity

His masks bring him ridicule amongst the community

With days and months of a building desire to make an impressive mask and to only be met with failed attempts, he grew vengeful. I would!

The ceremonial masks are used for dance and are said to be spirits that manifest themselves into masks

Different masks possessing different responsibilities!

One day the low self-esteemed mask carver awakes and treads into his living room to be met to a delightful surprise! Ah
