The decades of living in their chaotic home revealed much about the three sisters. Being kept in confined spaces, their atmosphere was dank, the air was blue with trenchant yelling, turmoil, and cursing.
Beatrice, Grace, and Marilyn lived far away on the grid that was their village. Even more, the three were blind. Desperate people climbed the rocks to get help. All they needed, just this one thing, was the eye. The all important eye held answers.
At night, villagers shivered as the sisters sang the same dang song: Cackling, was the big number through the night, harmonizing hag-songs of their past. Grace complained, “We sang that one yesterday”.
That was when hell broke loose. The cauldron in which the eye floated was kicked over by Beatrice, sending the eye cascading. The three sisters screeched : “When the hurley-burley begins, love ends". Marilyn crooned the sonorous loudest, so she took off with the harmonies.
The village went to bed in silence. thankful for their existence. But was there any peace, quiet, safety? What to think? Are they safe?
The "Clash of the Titans" movie featured three blind hags who had a thing for the magic eye. 1981 was the first movie, and then again in 2010. Perseus was the "godling" (son of Zeus, being who being himself, had his way with Danae). 1981 was best. Good memories.
This was a Wed. Words brilliant writing in 2022.
