Fog hovered over the seas

Clouding our eyesight

But as stubborn as Odysseus was he demanded that we keep rowing

Across the endless sea in search of land.

Hours go by as I force my scrapped rough hands to keep going.

Birds flew high above the sky as time crawled slowly by.

This journey back home has been hell,

Finally we come in the view of land anxious my brothers and i rowed faster.

Faithfully we followed Odysseus onto the land as dangerous as it seemed .

Odysseus states "brothers, have we never been in danger before this?

More fearsome, is it now, than when than Cyclops penned us in his cave?

What power he had!

Did I not keep my nerve, and use my wits to find a way out for us?

Now I say by hook or Crook this peril too shall be something we remember.

Heads up, lads!

We must obey the orders as I give them."

Bow ready and loaded Odysseus lead us onto the land

We head towards the Scylla

Nothing... nothing... There was nothing we do but fight

The hideous beast of the gray rock came into our sight

Past the Cliffside she harbored torment for my brothers and I

We rowed past the strait as we wore worrisome expressions

When she vomited it was an intense fire

Just when we thought things could not be any better

She swallows the sea, a funnel formed

Sucking in rocks and trees

I watched as the color drain from my brothers tan faces

Eyes wide with fear

Then the Scylla made her attack wiping away six of my brother

Voices called my name as the world became small

In that moment I feared death

She showed no mercy as she ate my brother it was then my turn

Blood filled the water

Death filtered the sky

As her claws clamped onto my waist lifting me high

I took one last look at the infinite sea

It was then that everything went dark as she finished my wore down body
