A new day

It was a new day, and the day that I would take my city and my wife back. Penelope decided to hold a competition, she brought out my old bow. The competiotion was for the suitors; who could string the bow and shoot it through a number of hoops. I watched in disguise as the competition went on. My son even tried, he could almost do it but I told him to stop. None of the suitors could string the bow. Eventually when no one could do it, I spoke up and asked if I could try. The suitors all laughed at me and said they would be at shame if I could do it. In one motion I strung the bow and shot it through the hoops. Everyone was stunned. Previously in the day Telemachus had hidden all the weapons and I had shown myself to my true friends, they were to help in battle. So anyway, after I shot the bow once, I started shooting arrows at the suitors. The battle began, they finally discovered who I was but it was too late. My son and I finished killing them all and my kingdom was mine once again. Now I have to see my wife.
