    Summary

    When he came, I was on my back, plucking the lyre. I decided it counted as practicing. I heard him come in and waited for his introduction to begin, but nothing came. I let my head fall to my side and looked over to him. His posture was awkward. It was like he was internally fighting himself, wanting to shrink and wanting to stand tall at the same time.

    or: the early years, as told from Achilles perspective.
