Under the Goddess' Eye: A Collection of Short Stories

By Jessica Knight

Under the Goddess's Eye connects humanity and nature and questions the role that we have in the world. In Healing of the Forest, a man is searches for the cause of sickness in his forest home. While in, A Cold Night, a little girl finds comfort with a wolf enslaved. Can both they coexist with their surroundings or nature run its course?

Under the Goddess's Eyes asks the same of humanity and their own. Can we connect and evolve, or are we stuck in a constant state of isolation? In Hide and Seek, Kayla, Cole, and Henry must work together to escape an unknown enemy. While decades later, Heather fights to keep herself and her brother from facing the ultimate consequences of their parent's actions in Sibling's Run. Finally, in Splashing Love, Bridget decides to take the next step in her life.

The final story, A Ship Encounter, asks us to connect to ourselves as individuals. It pulls us along the path of a sailor named Nadine as she comes to terms with her choices; those she has already made and those she must still make.

About the Author

Introduction

Dear Reader,

I never thought that I would have the courage to do this, but here I am. The following are a series of short stories that I have written over the past year for my studies. Each of them holds an important lesson for me as I expand my knowledge and grow as a writer. They are precious to me as stepping stones, pushing me in the direction of my dreams, just like this book. I hope that you find your own lessons in the stories and just enjoy them for what they are.

It is a whole other level to put yourself out there
