Greek and Roman Mythology: Poem: Point Blank

[clarasteam]

Title: Point Blank
Fandom: Greek and Roman Mythology
Length: 50
Content notes: character death
Author note: Another version of the Aktaion myth; this is also a fill for the Hunt square on my bingo card.
Summary: Once, your hounds would run for miles



Once, your hounds would run for miles,
tireless, till they found and killed.
Proud master, you would praise them,
throw them scraps from the carcass.

Now, it’s no distance at all:
their quarry stands before them,
changed from a man to a beast.
They leap up and pull you down.

That always makes me shiver.

Same - which may be why this is my second go at the myth for FFW!
