Crash & Burnout
Fired five times in two years. Living at the Holiday Inn. Now things catch fire when she feels things. The blacksmith is not helping.
Dana Ashton has been fired five times in two years. She has a master's degree, a Pomeranian who is more popular than she is, and a room at the Holiday Inn in Fairhaven, Virginia, with a wallpaper border of small green ferns she will be staring at for the foreseeable future. The coffee shop job at Meredith's was supposed to be temporary. The forge lessons with the local blacksmith were supposed to be a favor to an old woman named Margaret, who runs this town on favors. Then Dana set fire to a stranger's geraniums on a public sidewalk. And a chalk sign. And a latte. And a retired postman's newspaper. And a pair of shop rags at the forge while kissing the blacksmith, which was not part of the favor.
