Psyche Continued

While Eros fell madly in love, Psyche was miserable. Her parents were waiting for the marriage requests to roll in, but surprisingly none came. Sure, men adored her. But they loved her like you might love a celebrity. She was perfect, yet unattainable. Psyche's sisters all got married, but Psyche stayed crying and lonely in her room. 

Her dad finally went to the Oracle of Delphi and asked why her daughter couldn't get married.

"Despair, King!" Thee Oracle said. "Your daughter will marry, but to a monster! Dress her for her wedding as you'd dress her for her funeral! Take her to the tallest spire in your kingdom. There, she will find her monster lover, one even the gods fear!"

The king gasped, and started the journey home. What would he tell his beloved daughter?

    Skylarrrrr. I think you should write a modern story of Echo & Narcissus and use a phone screen instead of a pool and make it meaningful for today's generation.
