Odysseus’s face flickering in and out, different points in time, the background always changing, his face remaining the same.

When…

A wall. Odysseus being stabbed in the back by a strange figure. It disappears, the wound gone.

Does a comet…

A baby descending from the sky into Odysseus’s hands.

Become a meteor?

Odysseus dropping the child from the wall.

When…

Odysseus shouting his name at an injured Cyclopes.

Does a ripple…

A bag being opened, a storm escaping.

Become a tidal wave?

Poseidon destroying all of Odysseus’s ships but one.

When…

Odysseus’s last ship sailing into the underworld.

Does a man…

A prophet, blocking Odysseus’s path. Images of the future and past flashing back and forth. A wounded god, lightning striking a boat, and a room full of the dead.

Become a monster?

Sirens with their tails cut off, drowning in the water. A man watching this all from a boat. Odysseus watching this all.

When…

Odysseus’s boat floating up to a cave, the entrance to the sea of monsters.

Does a candle…

6 men, holding torches to the darkness.

Become a blaze?

A monster killing the 6 with torches. Their bodies littering the ground.

When…

A man standing up to Odysseus, a fight. Odysseus getting backstabbed by his own men.

Does the reason…

A red cow, lying dead on the shore of an island. A boat sailing into a storm.

Become the blame?

Odysseus pointing at the rest of his crew as Zeus looms above him. Lightning striking the boat.

When…

Odysseus pleading Poseidon for mercy. Poseidon’s face unflinching, as he continues to command Odysseus.

Does a man…

Odysseus, using Poseidon’s own trident, stabbing Poseidon repeatedly, until he relents, and the storm clears.

Become a monster?

Odysseus staring a pleading suitor in the eyes. The suitor, appealing to his good side. The suitor, pleading mercy. Carnage. A massacre. No suitor remains alive.

Forgive meeeeee…
