Meet Hermes, the Greek God - the herald of the gods, as well as the protector of human heralds, travellers, thieves, merchants, and orators. He is able to move freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine, playing the role of the?soul guide? ? a conductor of souls into the afterlife.
In this short story John meets Hermes during a short holiday on a small Greek island... ?I?ve wanted to be this close to you, since that first time I saw you,? Hermes said, unsteadily. ?It can?t be any kind of surprise to you, I?ve been following you around like a horny fucking teenager every time you?ve stayed here.? His eyes were fierce, burning him with their intensity. "Fuck, is he really saying this", John thought. And yes, it gets hot during their encounter.
