The Inkwell presents: Skin in the Game

This month we approached things a little differently, defining a setting for our writers to flex their creative muscles in. And what was that setting? Why, one of death and resurrection, with a sprinkling of godly interference.

Skin in the Game - Eleanor awakes to an unexpected and unwanted guest, and it's awkward for all involved.
A Forgotten Life - When her best friend is selected to be sacrificed, everything changes for Calathea, including her perception of reality.
Who Won? - Two wildly different men remind Kristina that life isn't all about playing it safe, even if doing so puts you at risk.
Brothers in Arms - The frontlines are a dangerous and terrifying affair, even if divine luck is on your side.
Trip of Two Lifetimes - After a lifetime serving others, Christian just wants a holiday, but the Gods seem bent on derailing his much-needed relaxation.
The Death of the Clean Person - The more effort one makes to maintain perfect cleanliness, the more attention one draws from those they wish to avoid.
Providence’s Longshot - While caught up in a gas station robbery, Chris realizes the deck is stacked against him.
