A new and improved version of my 'Wheat' story I wrote back in 2018. This 2022 version I wrote for university. During the reign of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII Auletes, a young woman carrying his child is kidnapped and thrust onto a boat down the Nile River. But it's not just her in danger, also the Pharaoh's daughter from her rival, his wife. Setting aside anger, she must somehow get them all off that boat and back home before she goes into labour.

A short historical fiction I wrote in 2018. This is old. The edited (and perhaps best) version of this story is now called 'In the Reeds'. You can find it among my works. Many many years ago, in the world of Ancient Egypt, follow the journey of a woman as she goes through pregnancy. Will the gods take pity on her soul? Will she be able to survive for the birth of her child?
