Yvonne raised her camera and snapped the shot.
"This one's going to be legendary!" Margie said, her excitement bubbling over.
Yvonne didn't answer. Her eyes stayed on the horizon, where the sun's glow fought through the soot-filled sky. Her chest ached as she pressed the shutter again. Maybe this issue could spark something in people. Once the shoot wrapped, they called it a day.
On the cab ride home, Margie buzzed with energy. "This picture's going viral for sure! Heidi's going to choke on her own jealousy!" Yvonne gave a small, knowing smile. "Her jealousy isn't my problem.

True to form, Heidi sat at her laptop not long after, swiftly replacing M Yvonne's photographs with shots from a trendy online influencer.
With a thin, malicious smile, she whispered under her breath, "Let's see how well you butshine me. Once this goes out, your nwill be ruined!"
