My name is Peter. Peter Menden. I'm seventeen years old (I turn eighteen in a month) and I was born on July Seventh of the year two thousand. My mom delivered me in a hospital in Eureka, California. She died in childbirth. My dad raised me to be a good man, and loved me more than I can ever imagine, despite my mother's death. He died a year ago. Some guy calling himself Jupiter came into our house (he broke down the door) and snapped my father's neck, right in front of me. Of course I got out of there, and luckily this Jupiter guy was pretty slow moving, because I did not want to see what he'd do to me. My father's funeral was nice, though. I mean, as nice as you could expect it to be. I got a job, rented an apartment and finished out my high school career. Now it's June, the beginning of summer. Some guy named Poseidon just showed up, tired to stab me with a trident in my own home. I stabbed him instead, and snapped his fork in half. Then a lady calling herself Athena came and tried to kill me. I guess Greek gods don't have like emissaries or someone like that they can send to off me. Or may be it's because I killed their family. I dunno. Athena got away, but I'm starting to thing that if I don't take the fight to the so-called gods, they're going to kill me. I've got quite a month ahead of me.
