3 days later,
“A Irysis Laboratory has been deemed untouchable as a single strain of the man-made virus Incandescent is killing everything in sight. This lab has been quarantined and is being studied by Scientist to find a way to kill the virus that resides within it.”
The news today is pretty terrifying, we need to isolate that lab by now or the virus will start to find a suitable patient zero. But, the strain is constantly evolving, pretty sure by now, colonies of the mutated virus is in the Irysis Lab. I need to find a way to get samples of the virus and try to create anti-bodies before it’s too late.
I opened the radio to listen to the afternoon news, maybe I’ll find more information there. And so I sat for about five minutes listening to try and find some information. And then…
“This just came in… Oh God…This is bad”
I was shocked. I never heard a news that troubled the newscaster in years, this is serious.
“The Irysis Laboratory that had been quarantined has been bombed by military as the virus infected many people that are on site. The infected people quickly had severe cases of blood-loss, heart stopping after just 10 seconds of contact with the virus… The lead scientists said that the virus had quickly adapted to oxygen and now more deadlier than ever.”
They bombed the lab?!? The military does not act until instructions are given, how come they bombed it already? I need to move now!
*ring**ring*
I quickly answered the phone, they finally called me.
“Hello!” I said in a loud tone
“So you heard the news… Come quickly, we need you. You know more about the virus than anyone in this facility”

“Who are you?”
“Even at the time like this Saturn? Just get to here and we’ll inform to you what happened.”
“Where is here?”
“At the secondary lab, we got a escort to guide you here. We need you…”
I quickly got dressed and waited outside.
In the road, I quickly noticed a Humvee going to my direction. Why did they send a Humvee to me? Am I a large part of this operation?
The Humvee arrived and a soldier opened the door.
“Get your ass up here soldier!”
I got on the Humvee. I chatted with the soldier and found out more about what happened.
He said that the virus, infected one of his comrade. The virus infected more people by the minute, they quickly collapsed, then fell to the ground.
They got the instructions to quickly escape the scientists at a nearby lab. After that, they immediately came to get me. They said that I was a big part of this operation. They don’t want their biggest hope to die in the midst of the virus.
After about 30 minutes of chatting, we finally arrived at a big Irysis Laboratory. Compared to our laboratory, this laboratory is twice as massive.
“This is your home for now, try to make yourself home. Before that, the scientists want to talk to you about the virus”
I then went inside the lab, scientists and military personnel are everywhere. I think that the main force of this operation is assigned here.
“Hello Saturn… So you finally decided to show up? I been waiting for you”

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
