The Day of Four Feasts

The gods don't want gold
The Day of Four Feasts

A very short story about gods who’d trade all the diamonds in the world for a handful of walnuts.

Part of The Sun Still Rises, an anthology of short, uplifting stories edited by A.K. Adler.

The Back Story

This story began with a statue of a god who looked sad despite the baubles piled at his feet.

Laura Rikono lives in Malaysian North Borneo. Once a marine scientist, she met a tribesman who wooed her with wild fishing trips in the shadow of a lilac mountain. They settled down and had children, who were far more interesting than fish. Her stories are sci fi and fantasy grounded in the natural sciences.
