The 13th Vase

By A.B. Twichell

Erin Gallagher Vega is having a mid-life crisis. Recently divorced and thirty-nine years old, she has moved back in to her parents grand colonial in Massachusetts and spends her days playing Candy Crush and looking for a job. When her brother, a prominent archaeologist, invites her to a dig on the Greek island of Samos, Erin jumps on the first plane.

Thinking he has potentially unearthed the house and bodily remains of the mythic figure Heracles, Erin's brother Peter shows her a series of thirteen vases found in the house, each with an image painted on the front, seeming to tell a story. The thirteenth vase, however, is smashed to pieces, irreparably broken.

Disturbed by the lack of closure in the ancient story, Erin realizes she is more disturbed by the lack of closure in her own. As she tries to come to terms with events that happened thousands of years ago, she comes closer and closer to understanding the events of her own life and the part she played in them.
