Chapter 17: Just looked like a “thing,” didn’t it? People don’t question “things”. They just say, “o

THING #1: the Coolest Thing

Aw, they didn't get my story. I thought it was a super creative way to answer the prompt. But to be fair, it wasn't my best writing because I had to really whittle it down, especially at the last minute because it was over 200 words. I had to chop it down to 199 (yes, I was being slightly petty).

Also... seriously? You're calling it implausible? I thought the whole point was to be creative! The rules said we didn't have to be truthful! There was not a single ounce of truth to that story other than the fact it was a pencil-holder. Hmmm... maybe I should have gone with a different myth than Medusa. (Do they not know the true story behind Medusa? Well, if that's the case, I hope they look it up because she gets a bad rep, but she's actually freaking awesome.)

Whatever. It was a bold move, but it wasn't my best work.

THING #3: the Biggest Accomplishment

Oooo Athena got solid 4s all around. Good for her! Ooo and it's related to mental health. Great job, girl!!!

I got one 5. That's good, I guess. But 3s from the other two? I thought this was one of my best ones! I guess that's because it's so close to my heart, and they don't know me, so it's not gonna mean as much. Thanks for the well-wishes, I guess? Seemed kind of half-ass, but whatever. That's probably just my disappointment talking. (Come on, Poppy, you got a 5 from one person! Brighten up!)

THING #5: the Most Neglected Thing

Damn, Hades, what happened? I'm so sorry, bud.

Hahaha at least they got it. I swear, that's all I'm fighting for at this point.

Maat and Hathy... again... I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU SUBMITTED. You knocked it out of the park!!!

Ooo so I actually got second, not third. That helps me feel better.
