Description

For the entirety of her adult life Momo has put others before herself. First as a soldier and wife, then as a care-giving grandmother her days were filled with someone else's needs and wants. Just when she is ready to put her foot down and say she just wants to laze about and grow tomatoes, she is pulled into another world to help a snarky disembodied voice carry out a dangerous mission that could save or kill everyone on the planet.

But Momo doesn't want to save her new planet, or to kill everyone on it. She just wants to enjoy her retirement all alone and grow vegetables in a little garden. Ignoring her quests and refusing to play along with the scenario built for her, she tries her best to settle into an abandoned village and use her special new skills to enjoy her old age in peace. If only everyone would leave her alone. The living are more bothersome than the zombies wandering around.

A novella inspired by the Goblins and Grandmas prompt for for the June 2024 Community Magazine!

I love stories that are a bit different, and this one is really original and hilarious at the same time. There are not enough stories out there with older heroines. Add to that how wonderfully contrary, rebellious, but capable the character is depicted, and you‘re in for a few hours of delightful entertainment. I‘d love to read more about Momo!
