The Oath

For a while, my only interactions with the gods had been brief chance encounters. That changed a few months ago. It was the beginning of a hot summer, I was twenty-two, and I had already given up on love.

So when Artemis invited me in her girl gang, its only rule being to take a vow of celibacy - no boyfriend, no husband, forever - I said yes.
