Persephone's Agent

By R.J. Spjut

In a few, short months a young, stunningly beautiful real estate agent's life veers into mythology, occult and the paranormal. Shockingly she learns from a newspaper that her lawyer husband hacked into another law firm's computer, stole documents to seduce a woman, and was axed for his offense. Once divorced, a nothing-down real estate investment pops up, with a curious hook: She must buy with an acquaintance who declares she is the Greek goddess Persephone sent to Earth on the singular mission of persuading the agent to believe she is who she says she is. The agent cannot resist. She becomes entangled in an extortionate law suit with her tenants who refuse to vacate the flat she buys to live in and has to share Persephone's. And she falls uncontrollably for a man who flatters she is more beautiful than Helen of Troy, who proclaims he is none other than the Titan Prometheus and has orchestrated the recent occurrences in her life, who tenders as proof of his divinity and manipulation a few good miracles or illusions - she cannot tell which - and a chilling, intimate account of her current woes, and who offers her immortality in exchange for her believing Persephone. Fascinated, charmed, infatuated and entrapped by the two putative gods whom her best friend counsels to dismiss as cult figures, she must choose between two versions of these life-changing events, one based on reason and the other on faith.
