I slashed up with my sword, heard a sickening shlock!, then a hiss like wind rushing out of a cavern– the sound of a monster disintegrating.Something fell to the ground next to my foot.

I started talking to people, and I found it wasn’t easy. They were glued to the TV screen, or thevideo game, or their food, or whatever. I found a guy who told me it was 1985. Another guy told me itwas 1993. They all claimed they hadn’t been in here very long, a few days, a few weeks at most.They didn’t really know and they didn’t care.

The entrance was a huge neon flower, the petals lighting up and blinking.No one was going in or out,
that should have been kind of sus if you saw no one coming or going at least in my opinion
And the more powerful ademigod you became, the more you smelled like a monster’s lunch
so it is kind of a curse in a way to be a demi god because everyone is mostly after you then everyone else

A shimmering image hovered over the void: my mother, frozen at the moment she’d dissolved in ashower of gold. Her face was distorted with pain, as if the Minotaur were still squeezing her neck.Her eyes looked directly at me, pleading: Go!

i find this very ironic it is called summer camp but it is not school at all so why call it summer camp
ut you must decidewhether to stay at Camp Half-Blood year-round
clearly he has in a way a life altering decision to wether he should stay at camp half blood or not
I wanted to ask what kind of summer camp had an armoury, but there was too much else to think

Mr Brunner, who’d been out in front of the museum a minute before, wheeled his chair into thedoorway of the gallery, holding a pen in his hand.‘What ho, Percy!’ he shouted, and tossed the pen through the air.
this is how he starts to the breaking point for him in which he realises that he isn't normal and starts to question everything
If you’re a normal kid, reading this because you think it’s fiction, great. Read on. I envy you forbeing able to believe that none of this ever happened.
