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'm not sleeping in that tent or anywhere around you, even if you are lonely."


I felt my face heat up. "Stop treating me like a whore, I was just going to ask if you were okay."


He froze at that, already half way back into the forest.


"Just get your sleep. I don't want to deal with your grouchy ass  -  well, grouchier than normal."


"You know I would never think of you like that. Just because you have needs does not make you a whore."


"Fine!" he yelled back and stomped away into the forest.


A laugh tickled the back of my throat, even as I felt like I would cry.


Thankfully, I did pass out as soon as I fell into my new bed in my musky smelling tent, and morning came far too early.
