The Awakening — Kally Jo Surbeck

A Balanced Choice



Some say she dances too close to Hades, controlling life and death. She laughs at those fools. Why dance with a god of the Underworld when it's her power that determines when humans pass?



Her sisters call her morbid, again she laughs. Two of her sister's are called artists--a weaver and a mixer. That's what they are. Her third sister left them all hanging.



No. Atropos believes it is she who is the true artist. The knowledge of life and death gives humans their ultimate passion and ultimate drive. Therefore, with her shears she breathes passion, hope, sadness, sorrow, drive, and determination, all that and more, she breathes into the human with the snip of her shears.



But, what if she miscalculates a life? What if a time is cut too short?
