Deviation - Wandering gods: A humorous fantasy.

by Louise McLaughlin

Seth, the Egyptian god of chaos, has been wandering the world for centuries, accompanied by his companions, Linn, the god of wealth, and Eros, the god of love. Seth had to flee Egypt after his meddling caused a tiny bit of unrest. He escaped to the apparent safety of Britain. Together, the three exiled gods have been involved in some of British history's infamous events. This short story details their travels through some of those events.

The influence Seth had over Richard the Third would have long-lasting consequences for the British monarchy.
The Gunpowder Plot was hatched in Seth's bar, with a bit of magical assistance.
The Great Fire of London had almost certainly nothing to do with Seth.
The Whisky riots in Glasgow had a short-lived truce within Seth's pub.
Jack the Ripper ran into a few Glasgow gods and witches.

About the author

Louise was born in the same hospital where George Orwell wrote 1984. When growing up in East Kilbride in the 80s, it was clear to see the legacy he left; there was a library on every corner and two nuclear bunkers. She went to Glasgow University and achieved a Master of Arts. She then joined the sensible corporate world of paper shuffling. For the last 25 years, her career has culminated in various promotions to the heady heights where she now tells stories for a living. She still shuffles paper, but virtually now, so that’s progress.
