Mythology Remix and Short Story Writing (Major Grade/Rough Draft Due Friday)

Writing Prompt: “You Have Been Chosen!”
You and your family live a humble life, in a medium-size town, during the age where the Olympian Gods were running the world. Sometimes they got along and sometimes they were at war with each other, as families do sometimes.

Something has happened and a god has chosen you for a task/adventure/journey. Maybe there is a mythological beast attacking a city, maybe there is a war that needs a hero, maybe a god needs you to steal something for them from another god...you decide. They have granted you a special ability to complete the task...what might it be? You decide.

Choose which Greek God has called on you.
Choose what ability they have granted you.
Choose the task they have placed upon you.
