Voices of the Future Vol. 1: Stories of Family and Fearlessness
Featuring "People of the Rain" by Jenny (Chasteen) Gossell:
Moriyah’s village is suffering from a drought, and if rain doesn’t fall on them soon, they’ll have to leave the village of their ancestors. Many community members, including Moriyah’s grandfather, wouldn’t survive the journey, and many of their cultural treasures would be lost.
That’s more than Moriyah is willing to lose.
So she chases down a rain shower and meets a Man of the Rain, riding on a black Rain Horse. When she explains her people’s plight, the man takes her up to the Sky Halls, where she appeals to the People of the Rain to send a shower on her village.
But what she doesn’t know is that changing the path of the clouds would destroy this Sky Hall forever. To save her own civilization, she would have to force the destruction of another.
