All the Myths are twisted. Merlin warned King Arthur of the Minotaur. He had no need of twine- his War Horse was Pegasus. At the Labyrinth's end his Atomic Spear pierced the Tauran Eye. He had no thought of Camelot. White wings lifted him above the mushroom cloud– through the purple gates- to Satans' Den. Merlin sat scowling at the Lady of the Lake - Excalibur’s sheath had bloomed with Forget - Me – Nots, and Merlin's Crystal ball was shrouded in a Nuclear Winter.
