Queen Circe is so crazed about me. After getting ship wrecked, yet again, due to the annoyance that is Poseidon, I found myself on the island of Aeaea. I drifted around for a few days but later found the palace. Little did I know how I should have never set foot in there.
I told her of my journey so far and she was empathetic. At first her intention were good, giving me food, a place to rest my head, and gifts. But, even though I felt like a king there, nothing is as sweet as a man's own country, his own parents, even though he's settled down in some luxurious house, off in a foreign land and far from those who bore him.
I told her that she could never win my heart but that only aggravated her. She would not let me out of her sight. I could not even use the bathroom without one of her men near me!!
I knew I had to get out. So, I planned my elaborate escape. In the middle of the night, I fled the castle and stole some old fisherman's boat. I was off, never to see that bewitched woman again.
