The Tragedy(?) of Troy

Posted on the 15 May 2013 by Rajrupa @irajrupa
IndiFiction Workshop is an initiative to help Indian Fiction Writers hone their style. This idea is the brainchild of 'The Fool' who blogs at http://luciferhouseinc.blogspot.in and C. Suresh who blogs at http://jambudweepam.blogspot.in/, both of them need no further introduction other than their names. The workshop in general follows certain rules. Everyone has to tell the story using their own narrative style based on a given plot. Different narrative styles are evaluated by fellow participants and judges. 
The plot for this exercise can be found here. You can read my entry here as well. All comments and critiques are welcome.
Hector: Paris! Come here. I have found a thief hiding in our ship. 
Helen: What the heck? I’m no thief! Paris, baby! Tell this bulky dork who I am.
Paris: Oh, Hector. She is no thief. She is the greatest pastor I’ve ever known!
Hector: She is a pastor?
Helen: I am a pastor?
Paris: Pastor? Oh no! I mean pistor. She baked the bread in the royal dinner last night you see!
Hector: So you are a royal cook! What are you doing here on my ship?
Helen: Cook? How dare you call me a cook? Paris!
Paris: How dare you call her a cook, bro?
Hector: You just said that!
Paris: I said pistor. Anyway she is Helen. Menelaus’s wife.
Hector: Menelaus’s wife? Have you completely lost it brother? You are kidnapping Menelaus’s wife?
Helen: Hello mister! Nobody’s kidnapping me ok? I am coming on my own. Don’t worry; I have left Menelaus a message on Facebook. Don’t act so frustrated now. I like your brother, he likes me. What’s your problem in that?
Hector: What’s my problem? It’s just that we came here for a peace treaty between Troy and Sparta. You fools just ruined it.
Paris: Chill bro! Can’t you see how beautiful she is? How could I leave her there in that love less palace?
Hector: And now you are bringing our doom with us to Troy. Do whatever you want to do. We all are going to die for you.
Paris(whispers): See I told you it won’t be too difficult. After all who wouldn’t like you? You are so beautiful!
Helen: I know right!
