Meet Zousan
Meet Zousan, aka, Zeus:
Gods age
much, much slower than us. Zousan looks to be in his thirties, but he’s over
thirty billion earth years old. Oh course, he doesn’t judge his age by earth
rotations. That would be silly. Truth is, he categorizes his life in three
segments slots: his years growing up in the space academy, the years of misery under his tyrannical and
unreasonable father’s thumb, and his years of freedom when he burst forth into
a newly created multiverse, finally in charge of not just his life, but his
entire crew.
In short
order, he discovered leading a bunch of Gods was a pain in the ass. But one of
his staff, he adores. His daughter, Athena. She was just a child when they
burst through and honestly, she was his sole captivation over the next few
billion years. (I’m using earth measurements since we never adopted the Universal
time measurements of space.)
However,
this piece of art disturbed him.
Excerpt
From early on, his creative daughter spent most of her time
making artwork from space particles. At first they were clumsy splatters, but
as she matured so did her designs. Recently she had created three plumes that
looked far too much like a man’s privates to suit his liking.
Since he’d threatened all his male crew with a one-way trip
through a black hole sans ship if they messed with his daughter, she shouldn’t
have a clue what lay beneath their uniforms, especially not ones standing so
firm and tall.
He intended to discover which of his worthless crew he
needed to return to his father with a note saying, “Great job! This loser you
insisted I take onto my ship defiled your beloved granddaughter and you are
thus fired from all grand-parenting duties.”
For the next million years, he spied on his daughter. Upon
finding no worthless men sneaking into her room, he tried another technique:
honesty.
He called her in and asked her what she thought her pretty
columns represented.
Athena blushed and suddenly found great interest in her hot
cocoa.
“Sweetheart, I’m not trying to embarrass you, but I do need
to know who showed you something that inspired you to make three of these.”
She breathed in deeply. “The computer.”
“Then none of the crew has touched you?”
“No, but that has to change. I am a young woman now, and I
have needs.”
He so regretted opening up this can of worms. “Wow! Look at the time. I have a meeting with
my crew...”
The Gods of Probabilities
By
Liza O’Connor
Blurb
The Gods
require a time shifter to ensure the Path of Light reigns during the final
collapse of possibilities. To speed the process of finding an Oceanic with the
specific talents needed, God DNA is induced in several batches of Oceanic eggs,
resulting in a generation of brilliant tiny blue Oceanic children.
One charming
boy named Drogan has the ability to manipulate quantum reality in ways that
will strengthen the Path of Light. Only trouble is that his gift runs a high
probability of killing him and wiping out the Path of Light for good.
While the
bureaucratic Gods will try to assist, in Quantum all possibilities not only can, but do happen, so the future is never certain.

Thanks so much for having me over!
How cool - Liza is branching out into sci-fi. Great excerpt.
Oh my! This looks like a read right up my alley!! Squee!!
No dad wants to know that their daughter is growing up or having needs. Of course, even at my age, I don't want to think about it nor do I want to realize that my parents are still you know... active..
