This story is dedicated to my daughter, who happens to be the main character in this story. Teri wakes me up every morning and enjoys telling me about the dreams she had the night prior. Most mornings Teri tells me how she has had a blank dream which inspired the character Elliotes aka Elli.

Using Prompt 73: You are a long-forgotten god. A small kid leaves candy at your shrine, and you awaken. Now, you must do everything to protect your High Priest / Priestess, the kid and their entire kindergarten class, your worshippers.

The story tells one of unlikely friendships outlining all of the troubles of raising a toddler. A child is nothing more than a blank canvas and the decisions you make will determine how that child turns out. It is like painting, you have many different colors but what colors you choose will determine how the painting turns out.

Special thanks to @Ookaishy for designing my cover for me and picking my prompt. I truly looked at it and yelled "NOPE!" at the top of my lungs and went back to sleep.
