The Guest Rites

Robert Silverberg

The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg - Carthule was not the Earthman's god, but Carthule protected him while he was a guest in the temple—even if he tore the temple down!
It was time for the after-meal meditation. Marik, First Priest of Carthule, finished his frugal meal and went outside to sit in the mid-day breeze and watch the sands blowing gently over the bare flat plains. The problem of the Revelation occupied his reveries: why had Carthule, in His infinite wisdom, waited so long to reveal to His people that they were not alone in the universe?
Marik looked up at the glowing dot behind the gray wall of the sky. That, he knew, was the Sun. And there were other planets, some inhabited, some not. Carthule was not alone; He was one of nine. And His people had never suspected the truth until the flaming ships of the third planet—Earth, was it?—had broken through the skies, and the small white people had told them of the other worlds.
The problem was one which the greatest theologians of the time—in whose number Marik, without pride, deemed himself—had discussed at great length, never coming to a solution. Marik and Polla San, of the neighboring temple, had finally concluded that Carthule moved in ways too complex for His mortal people to understand.
Marik lowered his gaze from the sky and looked out across the dry expanse of desert. He could make out, dimly, Polla San's temple far across the sands. Polla San was due to visit him shortly, he recalled. Or was it the other way around? Marik frowned; he was getting old, and soon would have to relinquish his duties to one of the younger acolytes and spend his remaining decades sitting dreaming in the afternoon.
Calmly Marik settled into the semi-somnolence of the after-meal meditation, fixing his gaze on the far-off temple of Polla San but turning his vision inward.

A Simple Guard

Amir Rimer

What if the greatest threat to your safety was the one who swore to protect you?
He took the job for its simplicity. A bodyguard with no name, no backstory, and no questions asked. His instructions were clear: watch, wait, protect. No one told him who he was protecting, and at first, he didn’t care. It was just another job.
But this was no ordinary assignment.
His boss trusts him completely, blindly even—an unwavering faith that defies all logic. Yet, deep down, he knows he doesn’t deserve it. He’s the first to admit he’s not the smartest man, and he’s certainly not the most qualified for the job. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is keeping his boss safe… at any cost.
He’s willing to do anything—lie, manipulate, even sabotage his boss’s dreams—all in the name of safety. Because in his mind, the world is a dangerous place, full of risks that are better left unchallenged. And if that means his boss lives a life half-lived, well, that’s a price he’s willing to pay.
But what happens when the man he’s protecting starts to wake up? When he begins to see the cage built around him, crafted not out of malice, but out of misguided love?
What happens when the protector becomes the prisoner?
A Simple Guard is a psychological thriller that takes you deep into the mind of a man whose greatest enemy might just be himself. A masterfully woven tale of loyalty, control, and the thin line between love and obsession.
Will he let go before it’s too late?
Or will his loyalty turn lethal?
Dive into this gripping tale of trust, paranoia, and the shadows lurking within. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers and mind-bending narratives.
