Quackity POV:
I sat in the passenger seat of Karl's car. It was a long awkward ride to the prison but at least I get to see Wilbur. Karl pulled up in one of the parking spots. "I'll be waiting out here for you okay babe?" I gulped and nodded anxiously. I got out of the car and walked into the entrance I was met by 2 different police officers.
"Alex Quackity correct?" One officer said. I nodded and they led me to Wilbur's cell.
"Also I need to-"
"Ask it after you speak with the prisoner." The other officer unlocked the cell. "Soot you got a visitor, real handsome one too. You have have 30 minutes." I nodded and walked in the cell. I saw a boy curled up in the corner, his back faced me.
"I already talked to reporters, what the fuck do you want?" His voice sounded like he had been crying. I walked closer to him. "Go away." I placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to face me, his face lit up at the sight of me. "ALEX!!"he jumped up and pulled me into a big hug. I felt a few drops of water trickle down my cheeks.
"Wil...Karl is back, he is forcing me to do..things. I miss you so much I'm gonna find a way to bail you out I promise." He held my cheek.
"What did Karl do?" I hesitated before telling him.
Quackity's daydream:
After i told him, he pushed me away. "Slut." I stood astonished at what he said.
"W-What?..." tears were fresh in my eyes.
"You should have stopped him but no you let him keep going." Wilbur turned his back to me and walked away.

"I-I tried!! He kept hitting me!" Tears we're now streaming down my face. Wilbur didn't react.
A faint "Alex? Alex?!..." was called and I snapped back into reality.
End of Quackity's daydream.
I was now in a hug with Wilbur. "What did Karl do?" Wilbur repeated once again. I told him and he pulled me into a more tighter hug. "I'm so sorry that happened to you darling, you can try talk to the officers about what he has done." My eyes widened.
"Y-You're not gonna call me a slut?.." I slowly wrapped my arms around Wil.
"Of course not Alex, I know Karl is a dick and what he did is not your fault. You shouldn't be staying with him. Do you know where sapnap or George lives? If you do when Karl is out for a while pack up your bags and go to one of their houses, okay?" I nodded. Wilbur pulled me in for a soft kiss. I missed his lips. They're much better than Karl's or anyone's to be honest.
"Time up soot." We pulled away free each other and I walked to the cell door waving goodbye. I walked out and saw Karl waiting for me outside. I turned to the police who were now talking about random things. Karl would hurt me if I took too long so I went outside to him. I stood in front of him as he tutted at me.
"Took you long enough." I got dragged back to the car and we set off for another uncomfortable ride home.

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.
