Write a dialogue between mythological figures of different cultures.
The woman quietly sits at the edge of the lake, dipping her toes into the water warmed by the eye of Ra. The gentle breeze blows her hair in her face, teasing her bare shoulders. She sits with hands in her lap, contemplating the mysteries of the day. Wishing on the stars that haven’t yet been chased into the night sky by Selene. Feeling the joy of the trees with their branches reaching to the sky in quiet prayer. Smelling the fragrant flowers as they pay homage to the bees. She sits, oblivious to the conversation around her.
I’m tired, goddess, it is your turn. Hmmmm… sleeping.
You had all day to sleep. I did. I’m still tired.
Get your butt out of bed. You’re not the boss of me.
