I have used sxursaep's cover for this book gratefully for three months. Now I would like to request a new cover based on an image by metacrisis that I didn't have before. Thanks in advance to whoever takes this.
Name of the Story: Kālo'smi Yatna-kṣayakṛt Pravṛddhaḥ
Author's name: BrhannadaArmour
Category (FF/SS/OS/Drabble): OS
Genre: (eg. Romantic Comedy): Mythological, Devotional, Religious
Couple and show: (eg. Arnav and Khushi from Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon): Yaśodā and Dāmodara Kṛṣṇa from Mahābhārata, Bhāgavatapurāṇa, and oral tradition
The plot in short (2/3 sentences): Yaśodā had made twenty-one modakas as an offering to Gaṇapati, but now she counted only twenty, and there was Kṛṣṇa, sitting in front of the mūrti with his mouth pressed firmly shut. Who else but this Dāmodara, who gets into trouble unless she ties him up, would have consumed the modaka before it could be offered as intended? Our efforts come to nothing if Time, the cosmic form in Kṛṣṇa's mouth, arrives early to consume them.

Images:
Universe in Kṛṣṇa's mouth - by metacrisis, used with permission
(Artists Unknown) modakas, Yaśodā and Dāmodara Kṛṣṇa
Special requirements from the Graphic-er (eg. Placing of Pics/ coloring scheme/any extra pictures to be added): Please make sure to feature prominently the first image by metacrisis. I prefer Kṛṣṇa with black or brown skin like this image. The remaining images are optional, but ideally the terrifying destruction of the modaka would contrast with the cuteness of the child interfering in his mother's religious observance. Please avoid adding details (e.g. bleeding eye, gash on cheek) that don't suit the story. The title capitalization should be consistent: all lowercase except the first letter of each word.
