If you were to look back on mankinds greatest athletes: you would find that some of them have performed incredible acts. Some, so impossible that you yourself would have to see to believe. Sometimes, men even go mad in their reach for glory.

A young man named Kleio, meaning "glory" in greek, was a discus thrower. He was the greatest of all time and earth. His posture was unbelievable, his delivery was phenomenal, and was extremely quick and nimble.

He had just reached the age where he could participate in the olympics. Everyone in Olympia anticipated him to win atleast one olive leaf crown. The problem was, his father wanted him to work their farm and not participate in the olympics. His father was a horrid, lying, cheating, tempermentle old man. He had been expecting his father woudn't let him ever since he was told he was an athlete. His father was secretly jealous of Kleio and wished he had been an athlete like him. This created a lot of friction between them and many beatings were handed out repetedly. Kleio knew he was jealous and purposefully provoked him, just to see him squirm.

He got up early the next morning and quickly drew his knife. He was trembleing with doubt, and fear. He slipped into his father's bedroom and lifted the knife above his head. Even though he hated his father, he still hesitated. This was his father and he almost couldn't bring himself to do it. Up and down, up and down. The knife came down like rain, pitter pattering all over his father's body.
