Jonah Rowe knew that he didn't know everything about his abilities as an 11th Percenter - a human who could access the power of their auras. But he knew enough to not believe in the myths of the Greek Gods. Those were stories for kids. Hollywood. Until the Sibyl came along.

Welcome to Grave Messages, a short story podcast where Cynthia brings you a diverse collection of tales. From stories of old, to spine-chilling mysteries and thrilling adventures, Grave Messages has something for everyone. Each episode takes you on a journey through a different world, where you'll meet interesting characters and experience their struggles, triumphs, and madness. So sit back, relax, and let the stories of old transport you to another world entirely.

In this heart-wrenching short story, we follow the journey of a woman who spent years estranged from her father. The two have been at odds for years, but when a worldwide pandemic strikes and her father becomes ill with Covid-19, her outlook begins to change.

Jonah Rowe sabía que no lo sabía todo sobre sus habilidades como once, un humano que puede acceder al poder de sus auras. Pero sabía lo suficiente como para no creer en los mitos sobre los dioses griegos. Esas eran historias para niños. Hollywood. Hasta que llegó la sibila.

My name is Eva McRayne, and you don't know me yet, but you will. I am the cohost of a paranormal documentary show called Grave Messages. I am also the Sibyl. What's the Sibyl? Apollo's messenger for the dead. Yeah, that Apollo. The same god from the Greek mythology stories we were all forced to read in high school. Except, the stories aren't stories. The gods are real. The ghosts are real. And my choice is a simple one: Use my new immortality to bring followers to Apollo, or commit the suicide I had so desperately wanted before the gods and ghosts invaded my life.

Elliot Lancaster may have become a massive thorn in my side, but I still consider him to be a friend. My cohost. My responsibility when three little demon girls decided to steal his soul. Now, thanks to a suicidal fanatic with an ax to grind, I have to figure out a way to save Elliot. Save myself. See, Elliot had become a stranger to me. My friend seemed to grow darker with each passing day. He changed, and not for the better. Especially after he replaced himself on Grave Messages with a bona fide Seer. Now, I'm stuck on an investigation in middle-of-nowhere, Montana.

Eva had gone from one fire straight into another. After her run-in with a deranged Spirit Reaper and Persephone, she was sure that returning to filming the episodes for Grave Messages would be a vacation. How could she possibly get into any more trouble than she'd already been in? But there was something much worse on the horizon. Much darker. Much more dangerous. Poveglia Island.

Never in a million years would Eva have thought that she'll get kidnapped. Maybe what the books said about Greek heroes and hubris had a point. She was too good of a fighter. There was no way Ares could get his hands on her. But the rescue was only the beginning.

After Joey gets seriously injured, Eva is beside herself. She's the first to admit it: Joey Lawson is more than just her cameraman. He's her brother; the one solid through her time as the Sibyl. She couldn't give up on him. No, she refused to give up on him. Despite the threats that the spirit of his attacker piled on her head.
