Will I Ever Get Revenge?

Will I ever get revenge on that horrible man Nobody?  It has been so long now since he was in my cave.  I have grown used to my blindness now after so much time passing but I still want revenge.  I will never forgive that man for what he did to me.  Now, even my father, Poseidon cannot help me.  Nobody has been home for weeks now.  He has remained on land for too long.  My father cannot do anything to Nobody until he finally leaves onto the open sea once more.  I doubt he ever will, though.  Each day, I hear that things are getting better and better for him while I am stuck here, blinded for eternity.  The one thing that I am happy about is that I have heard that there are hundreds of suitors wooing Nobody’s wife. This is the one thing that keeps Nobody in the misery he deserves.  I spend all my days thinking about how Nobody deserves payback but I can no longer think of any ideas for how to bring this upon him.  I don’t think I even have a chance anymore.  He is so far away and there is just no way I could give him something in return for what he did to me.  I think it might just be time to give up because revenge now seems pretty hopeless.

Revenge on Nobody Please

I have lost all hope of ever taking revenge on Nobody.  My father, Poseidon, has told me that Nobody has finally reached his homeland.  This is horrible because it means that he is happy once more.  I will never be happy while he is at the same time because he doesn't deserve to succeed after having committed such cruel acts.  He blinded me and I will never forgive him.  I cannot see out of my eye and never will be able to again.  I never noticed how great it is to be able to see around you until now.  I can't even see my own feet anymore.  I stumble around, having no idea where I'm going.  Everybody thinks I'm so dumb because I walk so slowly and am always falling down. Things are even worse for me now too because there is nothing I can do to take revenge on Nobody when he is on land.  My father can only harm him while he is on the ocean so now I have no way of getting back at him.  I thought of taking a ship to his land to do him in once and for all but then I realized I have no chance of this.  I have no ship and besides that I can't see so what good would a ship do me anyway.  I just wish I could somehow give Nobody what he deserves after causing me such trouble.  I do hear however that there is some chance that Nobody will suffer by the suitors that try to marry his wife.  My father Poseidon tells me that they are plotting to kill him.  I hope so much that they succeed and Nobody finally faces the death that I wish I could give him myself.

Ever Since

Ever since Nobody's horrible attack, I have been so mad.  I wish I could lay my hands on that man and all of his crew and eat them all.  He blinded me!  I thought I would get my sight back but I never have.  I will never be able to see again out of my one big eye.  The world is darkness to me and I have such difficulties now tending to my sheep and animals.  The other cyclops make fun of me so much.  I used to love the sights that surrounded my cave and watching my great sheep graze but now I cannot do any of these things because I can't see.  I also keep tripping on rocks and falling down.  It is so difficult to live this way without being able to see where I'm walking or what I'm doing.  How could Nobody do such a thing?  He also took so many of my great sheep and killed them all.  He stole some of my best ones.  He tricked me and now I will forever hate that man.  I've told my father, Poseidon, to get back at Nobody and make him suffer but what I really want to do is take revenge myself.  I hear that my father continues to create huge storms that consume Nobody's ship and crew members but these storms never manage to kill him.  Somehow he is always able to survive.  I wish I could just get rid of him once and for all after all the trouble he has caused me.

Nobody's Horrible Attack

I've been so very angry ever since Odysseus came to my cave.  I was in complete control in the beginning when he arrived although I was very upset.  I had just gotten back from herding my flocks of sheep and was settling down when I found them in my cave.  They had started a fire and eaten my food! I was enraged and I began to grab any man I saw, stuffing him in my mouth.  I made sure when I got home to close the entrance of my cave so that they wouldn't be able to escape.  After having eaten at least five men, I fell asleep.  The next day I went out to attend to my sheep once more, keeping them in the cave with the stone.  When I returned, after milking my sheep and goats, one of the men offered me the most delicious wine.  The man told me his name was Nobody so I promised to eat him last because of the wine he gave me. I had three whole bowls of this fantastic wine.  I slept well that night although I think I might have vomited in my sleep. I awoke suddenly though with a HORRIBLE pain in my eye.  Nobody was stabbing me in the eye with a burning club.  Oh how painful it was.  The pain spread throughout my body and all I could think of was how to get rid of it.  When the club was finally removed the pain didn't leave and worst of all I couldn't see a thing.  The men took advantage of my blindness and took off through the cave entrance as I went running to tell the other giants of my misfortune.  They treated me like I was crazy when I told them what Nobody had done to me so I just went back to my cave with pain still engulfing my body.  I was so mad at Nobody for doing this to me and I knew I had to get back at him and have him killed.  I still couldn't see but I expected that I would regain my sight soon.   When I realized I would never be able to see again, I was so full of even more anger towards Nobody.  I called on my father, Poseidon, to attack Nobody and make him suffer.  I will forever hate that man that plotted against me and took away my eyesight forever before escaping.
