We all know the ancient Greek gods all live on Mount Olympus and as long as they remain on the mountaintop stay immortal. However, what many do not know is that every two or three hundred years they are allowed a pass to our world. Still, most of us know that the first time Eros came to visit, following instructions from his mother, he was to destroy Psyche's happiness but instead he fell in love with her. Once Psyche discovered who he was, he fled and she was cursed to roam the earth in search of him.
Therefore, it came to pass that Eros was visiting our mortal coil and just by chance, he came to our fair city. Eros had not been among the mortals for over three hundred years, and now as he wandered our streets he was amazed at the changes in our life style. He tarried at a coffeehouse where he samples a drink truly fit for the gods. He asked a young man who worked there about his beverage and he said,
"It's just a Frappuccino, but Skykee really does a good job with the steamer."
Eros blanched at the sound of the name, could this be his long lost Psyche.
"Did you say Psyche, you mean Psyche is here?"
"Well actually I think yours was her last drink for the day and now she's outie. See I told you there she goes now."
The young lad pointed in the direction a female was walking. Eros took off running after her,
"Hey dude, you didn't pay, ah that's lame."
As he caught up to her he grasped her arm only to have her spin around and kick him in the groin. Gasping in pain, he wheezed,
"Psyche, it is me Eros don't you remember, I know it has been a long time but I am the same."
"Did you say Harold; say are you that little kid that used to live up the street from me? Ah gee I'm sorry for kicking you in the nuts but you can't be too careful in this city. Here let me help you up, you know nobody calls me by my last name, just call me Julie."
As Eros lay on the sidewalk, remembering how much he hated pain, he looked up to his beloved Psyche. She could not be over twenty and as she looked quite lovely, it was her face as captivating as ever and he wished he could spend eternity just gazing into it.
"You look pretty beat up; I guess I kicked you kinda hard. Come on I just live down the street, I'll take you home with me."
Eros noticed her dwelling was shared by four families, each with their own unit. Hers was unkempt as there were food cartons and articles of clothing strewn all over and yet his hostess seemed not to notice. She said she would put on some sounds and once she flicked a switch, a cacophony erupted from the wall scaring Eros. She informed him it was something called an 'oldie' from NWA and after telling her it was too loud, she did reduce the volume. She next passed him a strange looking devise and as she held fire to one end, he sampled smoke out of the other. She told him it was good shit and although it did smell odd, he didn't think it smelled like feces. He began to feel very relaxed and somehow even the strange noises from the wall started to entertain him.
"I don't know about you little guy, but when I get wasted I get horny. Pull off those pants and let's get it on."
