The Cyclops

Odysseus, the guy who poked me in my only eye, has been fighting for ten years in a city called Troy. When he finally finished, the gods were angry and sent a huge storm in the sea their way. The Greek warriors waited for the storm to end. They ended up on the shore of an island. Its actually my island. I, Polyphemus, live in a cave on my island. It has lots of food so Im good. Odysseus and his men explored the island and found my cave. They feasted on my treat lambs, goats, fruits and vegetables.They knew I was going to arrive soon so they planned on offering wine. Then I came in and saw visitors that were not invited. I asked who they were. They verbalise they are warriors from Troy and they were under protection from the god Zeus. I said that I dont care if they were under protection from Zeus and that I was not afraid of him. I ate two guys and fell asleep. That night Odysseus desperately tried to think of a plan to escape. He found tonus and sharpened the end of it. He offers me wine. I drank it.Then for the second time in the story I fall asleep. Odysseus and his men blind me with the sharpened timber. They hid under my round lambs so I couldnt find them. They quickly escape and run to their ship. Odysseus taunts me. I throw a boulder with my almost perfect aim. I look out over by just a little bit so they got away safely. I mean, come on, they shouldve got a screwed up ship because I only miss by like inches , but anyways, yea, I promise to get revenge the next time he comes back and touches my eye.
