Offerings

2022 · 11 min · Horror

A suburban woman goes to increasingly desperate lengths to appease the will of the gods.

The woman wonders what her neighbors are doing to deserve so many gifts from the gods. Stone blessings pile up on their altar while the woman receives so few. She has offered those same gods her food, time, and love. What more do they want? Do they want sex? Or something more? Perhaps a bit of flesh?
