I’m wondering how it got to this point. How did it get to the point that my eye is gone and replaced by a gaping hole in the middle of my face? It is all because of that damned Odysseus. That sharp minded Odysseus playing his tricks on me, causing me so much pain. It started when I was herding my sheep, getting them across the vast mountains on my way home. I longed for my cozy cave for I was extremely tired from crossing over the mountain. I just wanted to go back and rest. But, of course, it wasn’t that easy for me to enjoy the rest of my day.

My screaming caught the attention of my fellow cyclopes who then approached my cave. They asked if everything was okay and who is doing this to me. I told everyone "nohbdy" did this. At this point, everyone left and I didn’t understand why. I then realized that that little rascal tricked me by lying to me about his name. I flailed my arms around but realized there was no way for me to find those little men. I opened the cave door hoping that I would be able to feel out those filthy rascals as they tried to run.
