This sapphic short was originally published in Love and Bubbles, an underwater themed anthology. I’m sharing it here as it’s a bit too short to publish on its own. I hope you enjoy!
As a river spirit, Iguazú has weathered eons of change. She watched the rise of life on earth, the fall of the dinosaurs, and the flourish of the Amazon jungle she calls home. Best of all she fell in love with Bia, a catfish goddess. Every dry season Bia escorts her people to the ocean, and the pair part with the promise of reunion when the weather changes. But in all her millennia, Iguazú has never seen weather like this. Global warming wreaks havoc on their home--animals grow scarce, trees die, and worst of all, the rains that bring her lover home come later every year. How can Iguazú remain hopeful when she may never see Bia again?
