"Theomancy"
This is the short story that inspired my NaNoWriMo 2018 novel. Feel free to give it a read, keeping in mind that this is purposefully left as-written, rather than being refined or improved. The reason I uploaded the file is simply to show how iterations of thoughts can become better.

Synopsis
Bitter
nineteen-year-old thief Amela steals in the drought-stricken city of Tintyr, relying
on her quick wits and survivor's instinct to keep herself and her disabled
family safe and fed. When her family is taken from her, she is forced to accept
a job protecting the city from malevolent giants, bent
on destroying everyone. Despite her prejudices against the city's protectors,
she accepts an assignment with Vald, an insane man whose strength comes from
his madness--a strength that is equal to that of the giants'. While struggling
to get her family back, keep Vald under control, and learn the depths of the
conspiracy that is ruining her life, Amela finds a love that she wishes to make
permanent. Overcoming her own bitterness and insecurities, Amela must learn the
truth, save her family, and decide for herself if she can have happiness--or
face the madness that her world contains.
