I am thrilled to have earned an Honorable Mention in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest for my story A Deception, a short little tale about a god, a siren, and an entrance to the Underworld.
A sneak peek at the opening below. Stay tuned as I share more over the next few weeks.
A Deception
“Come on, old friend,” said Hades, looking entirely out of place drinking a margarita at the Tiki Hut on a beach in the Florida Keys. He stroked his beard, pulled down his sunglasses, and met Janus’ gaze, “Look, man, you know I wouldn’t ask, but things up here are a bit out of control, and it’s radically affecting the systematic way I run things downstairs. I should have most of it sorted out in a month or two, but I only need you guys to guard the Entrance to the Underworld for six weeks. Tops. Plus, Naribelle,” he glanced at the voluptuous beauty sunning herself oceanside, “she’s a natural. Six weeks is all I need…promise…”
To Be Continued

Congratulations Aspen! Your hard work is paying off!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am pretty stoked. 😁
DeleteCongratulations on the honourable mention. Although, it's a little weird that there's a contest based on the founder of the Church of Scientology. A terrible work of fiction turned into a religion. Anyway, I digress. The opening lines have already got me wondering what it's all about
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I concur...I did not know about the Scientology connection at first. But all good fiction comes from somewhere. 😉
DeleteCongratulations on your mention. What a great achievement. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing.
