    Summary

    Odysseus had loved to sail.

    “Where are you?” She asked the waves, hoping that perhaps, wherever he was, he would hear.

    There came no answer.

    There never was.

    And even then, Penelope had never really learned to stop talking to her ghosts.

    (The four times she wrote him letters she did not send, the one time he read them all after his homecoming).
