four fellows gave me a hand, lugging it near the Cyclops as more natural force nerved them; straight forward they sprinted, lifted it and rammed it deep in his crater eye...". Odysseus told the Cyclops his name was Nobody, and took a scorching hot spear, jamming it into the Cyclops eye. He also plugged his men's ears with bees wax to save them the sound of the sirens, as it was so seductive. Odysseus was a strong leader and did everything he could to help his crew because he saved the people…

One dark and stormy night, I was transporting a load of duck tape on my cargo ship. When all of a sudden the weather started getting rough. The waves were getting so big that we were taking on water. The next thing I knew I was on an island. I had to survive all alone with nothing but my duct tape.

I made a…

The lanista approaches my door and says, “You better train, Mevia, Emperor Winter wants a good spectacle from you. The crowd isn't expecting to see a…

then called Liberal Leonce. I had recently turned twelve, just a few days - perhaps a week - back. That one year between being a child and being an adolescent. In truth, there was hardly such a thing as childhood in our nation, and if there is, it ends at three years old when we are taken from our parents. I lay flat on my belly in the forest that surrounds the village of Babametu, three villages down from our own. Uncle Moba, not much taller than me, and with the fit body of a man whose…
