Powerfully Bored

Prompts = Disgruntled, Hunter, Belt

We’re told in ancient Greek myths that Zeus would honour heroes and beasts by placing them in the sky. They form what we know as the constellations.

What the myths don’t mention is the fights that erupt over prized territory. There’s a reason why Orion the Hunter, known for his brilliant three-star belt, is fighting off a clearly disgruntled Taurus the Bull — it’s a good spot.

The question I have is why Zeus set up a system where the inhabitants are constantly vying for something better. Why would he do that? Is he bored?

Maybe he is.

He’s bored.
