A folksy love story about the moon.
I wrote this short story for my partner. She has a tattoo of a crescent moon on her arm. It is inspired by her, folk tales with an embedded life lesson, and a recent trip I took to Hawai'i.
The main character is named after my partner, Melissa. The name comes from the Greek word μέλισσα (mélissa) which translates to "bee", which in turn comes from the Greek word μέλι (meli), which translates to "honey."
The name Kalai'o is fictional, but inspired by names I heard across Hawai'i. I love the simplicity of their alphabet and their use of apostrophes in names.

Lay me Down to Sleep
She had lived a life that wasn't her own. Every decision was made for her. At the end of the day though, she was still the one with the blood on her hands. To have the weight of abuse on your back is miserable. Especially when you're falling in love. She had been controlled by manipulation and religion her whole life. Her soulmate being a woman was unthinkable. With the constant humiliations of her life, she believed she was exactly what everyone wanted her to be. A power-hungry whore who wanted to steal someone else's mate. Life can be a cruel thing. A life that is not your own is even worse. Book 3 The art I used as the starting point for the cover was done by Antonio MoraComplete

The Eternal Love Between the Moon and the Sun
The Sun and Moon were forbidden lovers, waiting to be freed from the curse set upon them. For centuries the moon had a dull light to it, being longed to finally be at rest. When Luna left the earth she lived on, her soul became the moon, now glowing in the darkness of the night. Each night, she appears, sitting alone in the night sky- waiting for the women she loves to show herself- and to free the soul of the Sun, and shine as a new one. A cute LGBTQ+ short story!
