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 fuck 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.
