The Walking Dead

Vulgan was a poet on earth. As a typical poet like Shakespeare, Ovid, Enheduanna, etc, he lived in the figment of his imagination. He did write about quite the number of gods and explored a lot of themes of spiritual stances. Of one of the gods he wrote mostly on was the god of the sea, Poseidon. He did write about his rage and power. He wrote about his castle under the water. Then he wrote about himself walking in the midst of fire, getting betrothed to a Nymph and being someone of great reverence as the almighty. He really took his muse on a ride.Then came a day that he became so gay as stirred by the poring powers of booze. He was so drunk at the ceremony of the opening of the new cave of Myclops, the village priest. Then at the middle of the drunkenness, he was caught up in gloom and then he opened his eyes to meet himself before a glass-like lawn of sea without waves. He thought the world had come to an end and he was the only one left on earth. Later did Poseidon, his guest came and welcomed him to his fantasy.In the world of fantasy, he was to act everything he had written in all his poems. And tell you what,he wrote more of gothic piece. He was matter-of-factly a metaphysical poets. He did have his way with some of the exhibitions until it came to fighting with Leviathan, walking in the midst of fire and being like the Almighty. He knew then that he might be a pawn of time.He got to return home, earth, for a short period of time to burn some parts of the poems he wouldn't act. But he wouldn't burn any, though he knew the consequences. Like all poets or writers, who will burn his intellectual property? And his time on earth was waning! He rather burn or his world of fantasy might have him burnt. He had written what would mar him. The walking dead!
