Home Coming - a very short story of uncertain genre
Home Coming 4/13/2024
"Cassie, my love, come forward. we're home!"
My king. Always the greeking drama.
"At once, my lord"
MY LORD!!
"What a quaint village of mud hovels, my lord."
"Welcome to my kingdom, and you are my queen."
Again with the Greeking Drama. Who does this barbarian think i am? Ava Gabor?
"You are most gracious, your grace, but you took me out of Troy for this?"
Then this king breaks in to mansplain
"But Cassie, Troy was burning to the plain at the time."
Get me started.
"Only because you burned it to the plain. ..."
"It isn't my fault Odysseus forgot to warn me about lighting the torch inside that damn horse...."
"Forgive me, my lord, but this great joy to be home for our honeymoon is making me emotional"
After all, a priestess of Apollo must comfort the afflicted.
"Not now, Cassie, that is my wife on the pier with her new king.
Again with the Greek Drama. Maybe Orestes is cute.
