The Last Voyage
Odysseus the Pioneer, Odysseus the Adventurer, Odysseus the Scourge of Troy. Those titles, once marks of prestige, now taunt me. They were given to me by the men and women of my youth, the Greeks who sailed 10,000 ships across the sea to forge a legend. Now they are spoken only by my pitiful subjects who have grown fat on the spoils. They have never known the walls of Troy, the Wooden Horse, the Cyclops, or the man eating Laestrygonians. They use them to gain my favour to further their own interests, rats feasting on the corpses of lions.

Burn. Content Warning.
Video Games were his release. Kyle could yield to his base impulses, taking out frustrations by unleashing pain and destruction. One day, when he was furious with Dad for telling him to do his homework, he found a new game: “Ultra-Realistic Murder Sim.” He pictured his father as the helpless virtual victim at his mercy. Kyle cooked him with a flamethrower until his skin had bubbled off, and his eyes popped like air bubbles in a frying egg.
