The Other Box

By David P. Elvar

I doubt that Zeus ever guessed it might come to this, gifted with foresight though he be. Worsted by his own art, or so he would have it, but he fashions the world to his liking alone and how else should he feel when his creations grow according to their will rather than his own? Jealousy? Pride? Yes, and in measure to befit the God of Gods.

But why does she not reveal what she knows? Perhaps she understands. It eases my soul to believe as much: a relief would it be to have an ally such as she.
