The world is full of gods, and civilization depends on the magic and power of these divine creatures. But when your local god falls short, you fire Him. Then you begin the long search for His replacement -- a process made more difficult by all the usual human fallacies.
"Everyone understands that the world is full of things that are real, though they have no true flesh. The deities, great and small, are exceptionally real. So are dreams and desires. And there are also those busy, relentless entities called rumors -- bold little monsters too tiny to see, too slippery to hold."
A brief story. And as an exercise, replace words like god and deity with the equally awe-inspiring word: Coach.
Genre: Science Fiction
