Goddess of Nothing

While Persephone danced in the fields, her twin sister stomped and scowled. While Persephone picked flowers, her sister plucked all the wrong plants and ruined the harvest. And when Hades stole Persephone away, her sister was left behind to care for their grieving mother alone. Now Persephone is the Queen of the Underworld, and her sister still doesn't know what she is-aside from the family failure. Maybe it's time to find out. This short story is 5300 words long.
It is also available in The Fire Inside, a fantasy short story collection.
