I Would Enter Haides [Haides' Version]- A Historical Fiction Short Story
It is the beginning of Pyanepsion when Agape first feels the threads of fate shift within her.
As of today, I have published a short story about two women and their developing relationship during an ancient Greek festival. If any of this sounds interesting to you, you can read 8 pages of lesbian pining, autumnal daredevils, and ancient Greek Culture. And the best part is it's only a dollar!
NOTE: I have two planned releases for this short. Haides' version is this version, the shorter version wrote for NYC Midnight focusing on Agape and Aspasia. I have a longer Demeter's Version planned to be released in my currently untitled collection of mythological short stories I'm working on.
Summary
As the harvest season descends on Eleusis once again, newly-engaged Agape finds a forbidden romance blossoming between her and daring Aspasia in this time of death and rebirth. Originally wrote for NYC Midnight 2023.

Marriage. At once, she tries to picture herself lying beneath him, tries to imagine his sickly grunts as he ruts inside her the way all war-hardened men do their prizes, and shudders at the thought. Nothing could disgust her more. Still, she looks back to him with lowered eyes. "A pleasure to meet you." - Page 5
Now, with Aspasia straddling her, a strange warmth takes hold in her chest. I would enter Haides to prove myself to you, she thinks. - Page 7
