Equus ex Machina
The men sat looking at the ocean. They'd come here to clear their heads, soothe nerves frazzled by the ten-year siege. And still no closer to victory.
An unearthly noise rent the air. They jumped up, swords drawn.
"Look!" One pointed to the beach. A blue box had appeared on the sand.
"It must be from the gods," the other whispered, awed.
The side of the box opened. Two men appeared, carrying a boat.
"How did they fit-"
A young woman emerged, leading a horse. They wandered off into the dunes.
Odysseus turned to Epeios. "I've just had an idea."
