T.S. Lowe

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident.

But this isn't the end of her story.

Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.

Suggested for ages 14+.

Raising a Hero

"I've always drank," he said. "Pa drank. Grandpa drank. It's just what we do."

He wagged his head again. For a moment I thought he'd just roll it up onto his shoulders until it hit the stall wall behind him.


But, then, he caught it in his hands, and groaned.


The next thing I knew, he was weeping, and not in a pretty way. The sobs were wet, strangled croaks edged with whines.


Alarmed, I flapped my hands a bit from a loss of what to do before putting one on his back and rubbing it.


"There there, you can cry." Holding it back was probably how he was making all these alarming noises.
