Claimed by the Volcano God

A screaming woman. A dead volcano. An ancient god who was never sleeping. Maya didn‘t mean to start a ritual. She just wanted to scream. Fired from her job, ghosted by her best friend, and sick of being treated like a broken version of someone better, she hikes up Mount Ashmore to burn off the rage - literally. Four symbolic offerings. One scream into the crater. She never expected the mountain to answer back. But the volcano is listening. And something is waiting inside. When Maya falls through the earth and wakes in a glowing cavern, she doesn‘t just find molten lava. She finds him - a massive, obsidian-skinned god marked with runes and crowned in fire. A being forged in heat, rage, and reverence. A being who accepts what she gave up - and intends to claim her in return. When she wakes, she will have a choice: return to the world that broke her... or rise again as something divine. Claimed by the Volcano God is a steamy, surreal short story featuring one furious woman, one very sacred monster, and a volcanic climax that could split the world in half.
