I was thinking about framing, and how so much of what we think about our lives and our personal histories revolves around how we frame it. The lens we see it through, or the way we tell our own stories. We mythologize ourselves. So I was thinking about Persephone's story, and how different it would be if you told it only from the perspective of Hades. Same story, but it would probably be unrecognizable. Demeter's would be about loss and devastation. Hades's would be about love.

Kiersten WhiteSay what you will about zombies and their hygeine issues,at least they kill you fast.College acceptance boards? They like to draw out the torment as long as possible.
Kiersten WhiteWhere are you going?" I asked, feeling guilty for not being able to hang out with him. "To find a faerie to kill me, of course." He winked at us, then pretended to fall straight through when the faerie door opened. Even Arianna laughed as the door closed behind him.
Kiersten WhiteActually, youโre way off.โ โOh?โ the guard asked. โYup. Sheโs not a werewolf, sheโs a chupacabra. Have you noticed a lot of missing goats lately?
Kiersten WhiteMarry me. Nay, marriage will cost us precious moments together. Let us make sweet, passionate love right here. Let me bear your children.โ A primal growl signaled Miss Lynn getting over her shock at being thus addressed. She lunged forward; Jack deftly rolled off the bench, jumping up out of her reach. โGoodness, I didnโt expect you to be quite this enthusiastic about my advances. If I donโt play hard to get, how will I ever know whether or not you respect me?
