Sample of my fantasy/romance novel in progress:
The Wayward Sun and the Vexed Stars
I can give you nourishment
to grow food on your planets,
and energy for your creatures
to exist. Never will they shiver
from the cold, or face starvation.
I am The Sun, all mighty and life
Giving, said The Sun.
Without the moon, who will
turn the ocean’s waves? Without
the stars, who will guide the souls of our
people? Fretted the plants, their voices echoing
through the vast Universe.
Many of you do not have oceans, so that
question is superfluous.
My rays will guide you
And light the way so that your people
and creatures are never lost, droned The Sun, basking in its
own glory.
We will miss Mother Moon and its Stars, in each a galaxy
in each life, creation, The Planets mourned. Pluto was
particularly distressed, and wept. Venus comforted him
and cast her anger towards The Sun.
Why are you doing this? Why must we choose one or
The other in such a drastic ultimatum? Both The Sun and The
Moon can share the sky, for each of you have your role
To play.
My lady, of this I am aware. I find that I loathe The Moon’s
melancholy, apparition. Her silent ways offend me so, for I
Am The Sun, after all. I must be adored by all.
Who else melts the clouds away? Everyone is dependent on me!
Alas, no one needs the moon! Thundered The Sun..
You’re a self-obsessed monster, retorted Saturn.
