53 pages, and counting, I'm writing like crazy today, so here's an exert:
51 Outside Beach Day
Zeus stands at the beach, looking out at the ocean. He’s looking at a wave, pushing two people towards shore. When they get there, one is Poseidon, the other is a beautiful girl with a light pink dress and curly brown hair.
ZEUS
(To Poseidon)
Brother, you called?
POSEIDON
Yes, I need you to see to this. I found her on the shores of Kythira, off the coast of Greece, in a sea shell. It wasn’t until I begged on my knees that she found the mercy to put on her clothes. It’s hard to look at her without temptation, even now.
ZEUS
Yes, well, (to girl) can you tell us about yourself?
GIRL
My name is Aphrodite, thank you very much. And I was formed from the sea foam, caused by Uranus’ blood, from his genitals, from…
ZEUS
Yes, we know the story.
APHRODITE
Well, here I am!
ZEUS
(to Poseidon)
We can’t just leave her, we need people on our side rather than the Titans, don’t you think?
POSEIDON
Then you bring her to the palace, I don’t want to be responsible for a revolt from the ladies, especially Hera.
ZEUS
Right.
Poseidon dives into the sea, leaving Zeus and Aphrodite looking after him. Then Aphrodite’s attention goes to Zeus.
APHRODITE
I presume there is another girl in your heart besides this Hera character.
ZEUS
(Looking surprised)
I think you presumption is wrong.
APHRODITE
No, I see it, you will have many lovers in your day, as does the other ones. Only a few will swear to forever virginity, the idiots, and Hera, forever dwelling on the perfect family that she’ll never bed another man but you.
ZEUS
How do you know?
APHRODITE
Love it my thing, it interests me. I hear you needed a goddess of love, well, here I am!
ZEUS
Right, well, just as long as you make no trouble. You will be considered second generation Olympian, though you seem to be older than all of us, and you will be married off to the least threatening of the group.
APHRODITE
Sounds fine, just don’t expect me to love only one man.
ZEUS
Not going to.
Zeus walks away from the shore and towards Mount Olympus, with Aphrodite at his heels.
About Me
- Sophie Tribiani
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Okay, sup? How you doing? Good! But you're probably here to know about me. I'm Sophie and I'm 15, grade 9, Asian, bla bla bla. I like a lot of stuff! Like books, music, MOVIES (if you want to know which ones, just go down to the bottom)! I want to be a director when I grow up, sooooo fun!! And I've got lots of friends, well, not lots, but a fair bit. People call me hard-working, or just a nerd. I am a nerd, a hard-core nerd, you got a problem with that? Good. I'm also just hard-core, I mean, I've got people's backs, I fight for what I believe in, I say what's on my mind, I don't sway with the crowd. Yeah, anything else? If you have any more questions (Which you probably don't, because you probably know me in real life, and you'll know that Sophie Tribiani doesn't exit, at least I hope I didn't steal someone else's name o.O....) Just read some of my posts, I've got lots!
