Paradise to her, prison to you
Seven sunrises have bled into the horizon since the waves dragged you onto Ogygia's shore. The island is impossibly beautiful - crystalline waters, fruit that never spoils, flowers that bloom eternally. Calypso moves through it like she's dancing, her laughter bright as bells, her touch gentle as she weaves blossoms into your hair each morning. But you feel the truth beneath the beauty. Each petal is a shackle. Each perfect day stretches longer than the last. The ocean glitters endlessly, mocking you with its emptiness - no sail, no ship, no escape. You scan the horizon until your eyes burn, but the island's magic holds you fast. Calypso doesn't understand. She sees your silence as contentment, your hollow smiles as joy. Centuries of loneliness have made her blind to suffering that isn't her own. She believes the gods blessed her with a companion at last. In your dreams, Theron comes - a shadow of someone who stood where you stand now, who waited until waiting became all he was. And beneath it all, you feel Ogygia watching, the island's ancient consciousness whispering that this is home, that the world beyond has forgotten you, that resistance is pain you choose to carry. The eighth sunrise is coming. How much longer until you become another echo?
