Clouded
By M.S.
Kaye
A Sumerian water and sky god myth
collides with a modern high school.
Ayanna is a math nerd, logical and
rational, even cold, but Calder makes her feel things she never had before.
Somehow, she’s able to accept it when she discovers he’s a reincarnated
Sumerian water god. Will she be able to accept the full truth, that the story
of Enki and Inanna has been reborn in a modern Ohio high school?

Excerpt:
Calder’s voice was quiet but threatening. “Can you not
see she’s uncomfortable?”
Mark opened his mouth, as if about to argue.
Calder added in a growl, “Back the f$%# off.”
The silence was cold.
Then a clang bellowed from the kitchen. Several of the
girls gasped and jumped.
Calder shoved him the last couple inches into the wall,
then walked out.
Everyone stared after him. They let
him go, didn’t try to egg on a fight. I had the impression they knew better,
like they were scared to anger Calder any more than he already was.
The atmosphere lightened slowly. Several voices
recommenced.
“I don’t know. It must’ve boiled over,” one of the
cafeteria workers said.
“Someone’s PMSing,” Mark snickered. He looked shaken,
embarrassed.
“Wow,” one of the girls said.
“Yeah, Cal’s always been sweet like that. You should’ve
seen when we were in the first grade and someone was picking on me. It was so
sweet…” She went on and on. I had to ignore her.
The line dragged, and when I could
finally see into the kitchen, I saw why. The huge pot looked like it’d spewed
scalding water, and several of the women who’d been serving were attempting to
dry surfaces all over the kitchen. How in the world had it boiled over like that?
It looked more like it’d exploded. The water was everywhere, not just the stove
and the floor, but the ceiling, the prep table, and even all the way to the
serving line. What in the world is it with this town and water? The
school sprinklers went off for no reason on my first day, the snow and rain
behaved oddly, and now this.
