There must come a moment in every girl’s life when she looks back
over her bevy of mistakes and ill-advised decisions and questions
which it was that brought her to this. Surely, the feeling is universal. At
least that’s what Bryony assumed as she stood over the body of a young
man racked with seizures—in full view of some fifty of her most devout
followers—and wondered whether it might be kinder to just let the boy die.
How did she get here? What could she have done differently? Where
exactly did she turn left when she was meant to go right?
The healing tent was thick with life—perspiration, tears, the electrified
breath of those who sang Bryony’s praises. The sick boy had been carried to
the stage by his parents, laid across a stone altar assembled just for this
purpose, and left to Bryony’s tender ministrations. He couldn’t have been
more than sixteen years of age. His muscles tensed and twisted as his body
reacted to a fever no one could break. His chest had been bared in
anticipation of the healing touch of his god, or rather his parents’ god if
Bryony was honest. She had no idea whether the boy was a devotee of hers,
though he probably was. Very few in the community rejected her. Why
would they? All she ever did was heal them. And she asked nothing in
return other than life’s basic necessities and a little love perhaps. She was as
benevolent a god as she could be. Still . . .
How had it all come to this?
Bryony Moss wasn’t born a god, and she hadn’t set out to become one
either. She’d been a quiet child with few friends and fewer acquaintances,
content to play by herself in the little grove of plum trees behind her
family’s old farmhouse. She’d loved the spring when the grove would
flower and rain pink confetti onto her hair and shoulders. She recalled being
some version of happy, even with the background noise of fear and paranoia
that permeated her world.
Then her mother got sick, followed by her little brother and her father.
And like most people who found themselves in the grip of disease postapocalypse, they quickly died.
It was easy to blame the angels. They’d taken so much, decades before
Bryony was even born. Every guardian angel turned out to be somewhat
less of a guardian than people had assumed. They were more like assassins,
dutifully awaiting their orders, and when the orders came down, they were
devastating. Every person of scientific learning—every doctor, chemist,
biologist, and physicist—was exterminated. All media referencing such
knowledge was destroyed upon discovery. Technological advancement
came to a standstill as planned obsolescence quickly ate away at humanity’s
twenty-first century gains.
