Sample A Perseus sat there in disbelief as the weight of the information his mother just told him sunk in. His perception of what was real and what was make–believe shattered before him. His mother, Danae, silently got up from the table and made her way to the window. As she slowly pulled the curtains back, the bright sun's rays began to fill the room. The sunlight seemed to ease the mood immediately. Perseus went from letting rage and anger fester inside, to a calm and cool demeanor. Once all the information had settled, he took a few deep breaths and cleared his throat.

"Mother, I do not understand your intentions behind keeping this secret from me. For years, I have begged you to see how I was different than everybody else. You would reassure me that it was all in my head and I should keep moving forward," complained Perseus.

"It was not a secret that was meant for your ears. It was a secret that I intended to keep to myself." Danae answered. "The only reason that I told you now was because I was worried of the risk it may have on you in the future!"

Perseus quickly snapped, "Every child deserves to know if they are different, special even. Every child deserves the truth."

Anger had overcome him once again, as he rapidly pushed back his chair and made his way for the door. Before shutting the door behind him, Perseus quickly glanced at his mother. Although he knew that he already forgave her for keeping that secret, he just needed some time away to fully comprehend what all this means.

Sample A
Perseus sprinted for the nearby dock, the only place that he felt safe when he needed to escape his surroundings. He sat there in disbelief while he splashed the water around with his feet. The sunlight on the water created a glare that was hypnotizing him. Lost in his own train of thought, Perseus quickly stood up. As he was about to jump in the water, he whispered to himself, "I am capable of doing the impossible, for I am the son of the god Zeus."
