The Minotaur

May 11, 2010 13:52

Ever since he successfully escaped Theseus in Crete and used the hero's ball of yarn to finally find the coveted exit to the labyrinth (the poor young man had no choice but to tell everyone that he slayed the monster, because he couldn't admit to anyone that all it wanted was to roam the world in peace) the Minotaur started looking for  a new place to live. He did not like labyrinths, because he did not want to get lost in one again, but he was not used to sunlight and preferred dark, cool places. In the 1960s, after a long search for a permanent home, the beast finally found it in the basement of Jadwin Hall.

Since his days in Greece, the Minotaur's appetite has increased drastically. Instead of a few unwed maidens and young men every few years, he now devours dozens of students every day, without being too picky about their facebook relationship status. He has also figured out that the tastiest part of a human being is his soul, and he has learned to avoid the flesh entirely. Here he lives, and you can see him roaming the hallways if you come down here often enough, and if your eyes become accustomed to the strange lighting. But do not look for a creature with the body of a man and a bull's head.

The real name of the Minotaur is Emptiness.
