“In reality, the Earth’s orbit had been steadily drifting nearer the sun.”
Shiiiit. That was excellent. Short and brutal. It was a prosaic version of The Blue Afternoon That Lasted Forever by Daniel H. Wilson.
I love it when a story flips on the last sentence! A girl who is blessed to see fires and cursed to have no one believe her - or not :)
Playing with Fire by Tess Wheeler ★★★★☆
“God sighed. He suppose he really had allowed things to get out of control.”
God, or the General Overseeing Developer, accidentally let those creature with opposable thumbs have access to fire. They have been nothing but trouble since and now their days are numbered.

Eve and the Fire by Stephen Leatherdale ★★★½☆
I’m not sure about this one. Was it a dream or a magical version of The Secret?

Entertainment of the Gods by Eleanor Hartley ★★★☆☆
A handsome wrestler is taken in by the God Hephaestus. Doriskos models and cleans up after his god. This read like a short story intro to a series on Doriskos.

An (Un)expected Illness by Zoë Black ★★★☆☆
A new take on the Persephone myth. It was just ok.

Kali Dancing by Zarina Braybrooke ★★☆☆☆
Travel is an excellent test of a relationship’s potential endurance - Jack and “Kali” are a poor match. The magical part of the story makes little sense, if she is part goddess then so is my doorknob. Or maybe she is the doorknob? Whatever.

Bringing God to School by Seth Moriarty DNF
This was a dislikable story that I couldn’t get into much less finish.
