          The mead-hall was joyous. Warm light blanketed the rejoicing warriors, bards dancing and playing their hearts out. But below, in hell but on earth, lie Grendel, malice and hatred incarnate, spawn of Cain and Satan himself, filled with animosity towards the Scyldings above in their elysium.

         Grendel's indignation was rooted in the bitterness of his darkened heart. His jealousy of the Scyldings is a reference to his predecessor Cain's deadly envy of his righteous brother Abel. Grendel's impulse, like Cain's, leads him to murder and bloodletting. Just as Cain ruthlessly swept life from under Abel's pure paws, Grendel snatched the breath of life from his many victims in the mead-hall that first abyssal night. ]]> 2022-08-18 14:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/giedtper001/y1ewq2b30625fxm0/wish/2264479460 giedtper001 https://padlet.com/giedtper001/y1ewq2b30625fxm0/wish/2264505593 2022-08-18 15:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/giedtper001/y1ewq2b30625fxm0/wish/2264505593 Irony giedtper001 https://padlet.com/giedtper001/y1ewq2b30625fxm0/wish/2265576120 Irony occurs when there's a marked contrast between what is said and what is meant, or between appearance and reality.

"Woe is me, oh aiutami Dio!" Rorrey sobbed. This was a typical fit of mellowdrama for him. His explosive nature was yet tamed. He complained that his drink would be lukewarm, yet he always opts to drink water from the tap.
     Rorrey lives alone now, in an apartment he never paid off. The threat of being sent to debtor's prison was of little notice to him. This is already his hell. He built it around him, Rorrey's little prison. He claims to have "self diagnosed clinical social anxiety," yet he's never even left his fucking house. He cries of soggy Dutch Babies, and of brisket that would "melt in my mouth too quickly."
12 years has Rorrey lived this way. It's as if he believes change could possibly make circumstances worse. And so he lies on his cum stained futon, and buries himself in his tomb.

I’ve fought many a battle; I have slain many a foe, but this– No matter how I rationalized my terror, I was short on experience. I could not defeat this enemy.
What could I do? Where could I run? I was a sacrificial lamb, primed and plump for slaughter. I was here to die. 
As I peered across enemy lines, I saw the wayward sun reflecting in the soldiers’ eyes. I could feel their passion, their rage. They were fighting for a cause– one I did not fathom– one worth dying for. 
How unprepared we were! Our ranks poised to be tripped and trampled by their horses and their chains, our feeble wooden shields and meek chainmail, our bones, would soon be splinters in the soil.
