I Read Stories: Godmaker by J A Prentice

Godmaker by J A Prentice in Beneath Ceaseless Skies

In the city by the desert is a godmaker. He doesn’t believe in his gods but he does believe in his customers paying him for the idols he makes. His gods don’t look how people expect, yet they seem satisfied.
