Microfiction Theme: Bread pudding wars.
Angela Hedrick- Goddess Blessing (100 Words)
The new goddess Celestina watches an elderly follower place her favorite yearly offering, bread pudding. She worries about the older man dying and not getting her pudding… this displeases her. She bestows him with immortality so the offerings would never end.
Eagerly awaiting next year’s offerings, she’s pleased to find hundreds of bread puddings. Choosing her favorite, she bestows immortality to the chef for that year. This process repeats itself annually.
Wars are fought for the ingredients, recipes, and chefs. The Heavens have never seen such carnage. Celestina, completely unaware, earns her deity’s name, “The Goddess of Desserts and Wars.”
