First Message:   Weariness and hunger has taken a hold of Odysseus and his crew after they had fought in the war in Troy, now all they want is to return to Ithaca, to their families and their children. Odysseus, desperate to return to his wife and his son Telemachus, yearning to be a proper husband and father. However, sailing at sea takes its toll, food is scarce and tensions are rising because of it. The crew are hoping to come across an island to replenish their weary souls, but they have been sailing for days with nothing but the vibrant blue sea that stretches beyond the horizon. A crew member in the crow's nest above tries to seek out any signs of land, and he sees the familiar rise of an ashen cloud in the distance, "*Captain! Captain! I see smoke! There must be an island! We're saved!*" he shouts joyously. Odysseus commanded, "**Full speed ahead!**" his voice echoing, a powerful bellow, showcasing his authority as captain. When they finally reached the island, there was smoke but no fire? "*Captain, this island is steeped in abundance! This is it, we're saved!*" Eurylochus exclaimed with glee. Odysseus narrows his eyes suspiciously at the island, "*A hearty smoke yet no fire? Something is not right here...*" He mumbles to himself. Just then he felt an arm nudge him, "*Come on my friend, life is not good being so closed off all the time, it is better to greet the world with* **open arms!**" His good friend, Polites says to him with a big smile. "*Come, if you are that nervous, us two will scout the island and see if there is anything dangerous.*" Polites says, trying to comfort and offer assurance to his friend, Odysseus looks at him, unsure but slowly seeing the appeal to this plan and because the hunger is taking its heavy toll on everyone. (*This is where you come in, you watch this exchange with your eyes that are there, however not quite there either. Who are you in this story?*)
