Odysseus Shipwrecked

As I walked back to the camp site, excited to go to my crew and tell them that we could finally set sail, I noticed something on the fire. As I got closer to my crew to see what they were cooking I thought to myself, "There has been no food for weeks. What could they be cooking?" When I arrived I saw a sight that sent shivers down my spine. My men were eating the sun gods cows after I had pleaded, begged, and ordered them not to, they slaughtered two of them and had cooked and eaten them. One of my men walked over and said, "Do you see Odysseus? There is no danger, we have not been killed or burned alive by the sun gods wrath. Here take a piece and fill your stomach before we take off." I looked down at the meet my stomach growling like a dog, but I forced myself to stay strong knowing that the meet was cursed. "No. I do not wish to eat this cursed meat and die like the rest of you."I said. He looked at me,  said nothing, and picked up the cow meat and stuffed it down his throat without saying anything. After an hour of laughing and eating, they walked over to the boat where I sat in silence, and my first mate said, "Nothing has happened. You were wrong and we are fine, not dropping over like the dead cattle we slaughtered." He said this with a grin. As we cast off from the shore I looked back on to the island and thought,"Were they right. Could I have eaten the meat and been fine? It doesn't matter for I am almost home." Two hours later we were hit by a bolt of red lightning and flung into the Charybdis where all my men but I died.
