The Choice

“Decide.”

Koren beheld two globes, one in each hand of the god. In the left, his parents, hands outstretched, pleading. In the right, Maya, all attention on her dying child, unaware of him.

“The right.”

His parents smiled, winked out, dead. The child blossomed. Maya, laughing, hugged her.

“Well done. You understood their sacrifice.”
