A Letter To Ajax
Ajax the great, they once called you. The Bulwark of the Achaeans. A man who could hurl boulders the size of Volkswagen Beetles through the air like elephant-skinned dodgeballs. You fought Hektor to a stalemate for an entire day, and … Continue reading A Letter To Ajax
Walmart Doesn’t Exist
