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

Anything gained without effort loses value.


It was one of the great lessons of life one of my aunts passed on to me by frequently falling for pyramid schemes and 'get rich quick' scams. 


Thus, even after praying, though I felt hopeful again, I still found myself sitting mindlessly on the mossy floor of the forest, drifting in and out of focus. It was human nature to flee pain rather than face it, and I hurt. Shame, fear, pining, regret, and a medley of other emotions urged me just to go back into the fog, back to my imagined stream in the night where I didn't exist and nothing mattered. It would be so easy. And standing where I was, barefoot, dirty, and hungry in a forest, with a fishy smelling dragon, wasn't exactly encouraging.


But that fishy dragon gave me all the hope that I needed to try. Hope that I'd one day reach my dreams of family and happiness.
