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.

Echoes of Babylon
"My name is Esharra, and though the years weigh heavily upon me, I stand as a witness to the resilience of our people. We have endured loss, abandonment, and the cruelty of kings, yet we are still here. Babylon may no longer claim us, but her memory runs through our veins like the rivers that once fed her fields. I have led my people through fire and ruin, not because I sought power or glory, but because I could not bear to see them fall. We have built anew, on land that holds no allegiance to tyrants, where our children can grow without fear. As I look upon this valley, our home, I know my time is nearing its end. But I am at peace. The stories of our past are now the foundation of our future. Let them remember not the man who led them, but the strength they found within themselves. Babylon lives, not in stone or empire, but in us. And so long as we carry her spirit, she will never be forgotten."Complete
