They were lurking slowly towards me as the storm raged on. The large red cloud and the storm above me distracted Odysseus and his crew. They clearly didn’t know what was coming but were along for the ride. They were about to face Charybdis! After all, I am the most treacherous whirlpool that cannot be stopped. Not even the most powerful Zeus would be able to get them from my tight grasp. Once they get sucked in, they can never go back. That’s the end for them. After basking in my own glory, Zeus’ lightning bolt thrashed down on Odysseus’ ship tearing it limb from limb. As the crew members try to hang for their lives, they descend into the water and squirm, trying to find a way out. I sneak up behind them and suck them down. I ripped all of them to pieces just leaving their carcases at the bottom of the ocean. That’s where they’ll stay. Odysseus was the only one left. His ship was gone, and he was hanging on for dear life on a weak branch. I tried to swallow him up as well, but just as I got over to him and was about to let him face my wrath, the storm led up as he passed through the clearing and was out of sight. If only I would have been able to swallow up “The Great Odysseus”, maybe then I would have been satisfied.
