《President of My Heart (Barack Obama x Yui Tamura)》ENDING (Tamura POV)
Advertisement
I feel the warmth of sunlight on my skin as I open my eyes.
Huh..? Was I napping on this bench?
Weird..I don't remember how I got here.
"Hey Tamura, come here for a second!" Shikatani yells from across the field.
I walk up to him.
"What's up?" I ask him with curiosity.
"The club room.. let's go." He says as he leads me to the room.
"Hi Tamura!" Toono greets me.
"So, I actually called everyone to go here because we all seem to have this device." Shikatani explains to me while showing me a small device in his hand.
"I tried to search it up on the Internet, and it seems to be a Globama translator." He continues.
"I don't remember meeting Barack Obama though." He says with confusion.
"Barack Obama? That's the president of the United States, right?" I ask them all with a concerned look on my face.
"Yeah, he is." Kashima responds.
Barack Obama..why do I feel weird hearing that name?
Huh.. it's probably nothing.
As we're discussing about the translator device, I still have a weird feeling in my chest.
It's like I have a memory that's been erased.

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.
