The Myths of Living

Two short stories based in mythology that explore the intersections between the past and the present and between life and death. In “The Birth of Apollo,” Emma returns to her decrepit birthplace in order to help a woman in a difficult labor and is forced to encounter her own past and a long-buried secret. In “Onyx and Red” Astrid not only must deal with the death of her husband but also the disappearance of his body.
