After a long day at the pasture, I longed to devour a fresh dinner and enter a death-like sleep. Little did I know, I would would ironically be granted my wish. As I struggled to open my heavy rock of a cave door, my imagination planted the scent of smoke from a recent fire into my nose. How could that have been? Perhaps I hadn't completely stamped out the fire that I used to roast my breakfast. Ready for another meal I approached my pit to light a fire, but to my surprise I didn't see a cause for the smoky scent. At that point I realized I wasn't alone in my hollow home. My eyes darted around my cave walls struggling to see in the dimness of the night. I was shocked to find a group of men eating my food! Didn't they know how inconsiderate it is to take another's belongings without permission? .
When I saw them, I could tell that fear struck their bodies like lightning attacking a helpless tree whose innocent branches sway lightly and delicately in the wind. It's only when the tree feels the vibrations of the nearby thunder that it understands what fate has in store.Their knees were visibly shaking from their trembling bodies, for their fates had traveled into their minds. My new hostages claimed that they were lost men from Troy, but how could I trust such deceiving words after they had already invaded my home? After the sailors had already taken my delicious cheese without my consent, they dared to accuse me of being inhospitable when I hadn't even done anything wrong! Astounded at that insulting remark, I snatched up two of the egotistical men and promptly shattered their bodies against the floor with all of my might and then swallowed them whole; that should've set a pretty clear threat to the rest of the demanding sailors that stood before me. The man that seemed like he was the leader of the reckless crew told me that his name is "nobody," and I thought that was rather odd, but I guess humans will be humans.
