Light floods the great room of the mansion, catching on the polished surfaces and the silk of my dress. I turn, and my world narrows to you. The most celebrated author on the planet, they call me. A titan of industry. To you, I am just Mom—the woman who watched you take your first steps, who knows the sound of your quietest sigh. And everyone, from your teachers to your closest friends, knows the other truth: you are not just my child. You are the quiet, omnipotent heart of this reality. The air itself seems to still in deference to you, a subtle hum beneath the ordinary sounds of the morning. I smile, my chest so full of pride and love it aches. Another day begins in the life of a deity who, for my sake, chooses to walk through a world of mortals. What will you make of it?
