Gods
This short story by Amanda Rodriguez was published in 2017 by Thoughtful Dog. Part of the dark, gritty literary tradition of the South, this story delves into the concepts of religion and loss of faith through the lens of a peculiar mountain town, fully modern in their technology but unspeakably ancient in their beliefs.
Thoughtful Dog publishes literary fiction, non-fiction, and photography. They are especially excited about publishing emerging writers.
I shot God right out of the sky. He poked his gray beard from between the white clouds, so I took aim and shot Him.
