The Cyclops

I could barely get any sleep just thinking of my family back in Ithaca, but I know they’re in good hands. The next island we travel to be no other than the Island of the Cyclopes. The nasty, disgusting, one-eyed monsters that eats almost anything they can get their ginormous hands on. We row more onto the mainland where we spot one of the huge beast resting peacefully in his cave, great. Odysseus took me and the rest of the V.I.P. crew and left the rest of the men to watch over the ship.
Odysseus tries to attempt to get as much food from the cave as possible. Gee, it was A LOT of it too, but no, he wanted to see how was the Cyclops. We felt a great height of terror in our hearts when he asked our purpose for being in his cave. Odysseus tried for convincing words, but the Cyclops would not let us go for the fear of Zeus as he showed no emotion of pity in the world, go figure. I almost thought he was almost reaching his vastly, uncleansed hands for me, but ended getting two other men instead. Oh how gross! The ruthless giant ate both of them! He locks Odysseus, me and the rest of the men up for his human stew for the next day. While the men whined I just fell right into a deep sleep, The King can handle this without us. All of a sudden, I woke up in the hand of the beast. I was going to be his breakfast! I begged and begged for mercy, but that couldn’t save the life of me. I just so happen to squiggle and squirm out of his mouth and ran back inside the cage, so he got another man. I just stayed in there and let Odysseus do his work. He got us out the cage and gathered the flock, we ran for our lives out of the cave as he chased us, blinded. I still had my injuries from him chopping on my abdomen, so I trampled behind. He was so close behind me for I could feel his fiery breath on the back of my neck, but I didn’t want to look back. Everyone else was on the ship and rowed away, so I was left with the beast. I attempt to put up a fight by moving swiftly away from his feet. I hid in the trees outside the cave, but got paranoid because now I didn’t know where he was. I turned around and there he was trying hard to grab for me, for he still could not see. Trying to run past him, I felt a shadow casting over me. Splat! I felt my body crushed in little pieces and now he knew where I was and scooped me from the ground and shoved me whole into his mouth so I wouldn’t have a chance to get out and I slowly dissolve in his stomach acid to my death.
