An ONC shortlister!

The long-forgotten god of chaos awakes when a small child drops a piece of candy onto his altar, unwittingly becoming the high priest of chaos. The god is beholden to his priest and his priest's people--AKA: his kindergarten classmates. The children are all-too-delighted to serve the whims of mayhem until the chaos becomes too much, even for them. They forbid the god from using his power. But when disaster strikes and the whole school is in danger, a bit of bedlam might be the only thing that can save the children, the town, and the god's budding romance with a schoolteacher. 

Based on the Open Novella Contest 2023 prompt: #73 - You are a long-forgotten god. A small kid leaves candy at your shrine and you awaken. Now, you must do everything to protect your High Priest/Priestess, the kid, and their entire kindergarten class, your worshippers.

Yours truly - Canis Minor There is a myth that tells a story about two constellations in our night sky. It tells the story of Canis Minor, the fox named Teumessian, and Canis Major, the wolf named Laelaps. It is told that the two of them were cursed to stone after the god Zeus ordered Laelaps to find and kill Teumessian. But because of their unique qualities, it became an infinite game of cat and mouse. The myth tells that the two of them reap havoc throughout the universe and it is the reason why the gods imprisoned them in stone. It is partially true, but with a slightly different ending. Teumessian and Laelaps fell in love and it infuriated Zeus, as they did not obey a command of the gods. That is the reason why the gods curse them. The gods did not know that Teumessian was pregnant with twin daughters. The two daughters always with their mother only know of the broken cries of their mother's soul. So they came up with a plan, a parent tral. But when they try to free their parents something goes wrong. As both daughters decide to guide their parents to the same place: Earth. One child to guide the father and one child to guide the mother. The youngest of the daughters gets scared and loses her way. Sending the father in a life of solitude and the mother in an infinite loop of life and death. Because of this, Laelaps roams the earth endlessly and lives through several civilizations. He always meets his one true love, but without the guidance of their daughter, she is doomed to die. The oldest of the twins watches over them the only way she can think of as she takes her place as the goddess of the moon. Carving a path through lives where the two meet over and over again. Finally, the youngest of the twins called Adhara finds her way into her mother's womb. Reuniting the sisters and the final plan sets in motion.
