My Deal Me In deck turned up spades this week, which sent me to Daily Science Fiction. The story I read was:

Inventing the Gods

by Michael W. Cho

A small-town river god pops into his temple just as a priest’s assistant tells the priest of a passing philosopher’s teaching. A god can’t be small and local. A god must be beyond measure and comprehension, god of everywhere and everything and everyone. Sounds good to the god, so he leaves his temple to go hear more about what he ought to be.

Doesn’t sound very storyish, but Cho makes it so. Loved it!

And get a load of his bio. How cool is this? Way, that’s how!

Michael W. Cho writes science fiction and fantasy in Tempe, Arizona, and plays Spanish guitar for his day job. You can catch up with him at michaelwcho.com.
