《Two Existentialists | S.R.》6

Spencer sighed as he left your apartment building and reached his car. He turned it on, the wipers beginning to move as the rain hit the windshield softly. He put the car in drive before putting it back in park. He looked down at his phone and called someone, someone who would have good advice.
"Reid, are you ok?" came the voice of Derek Morgan through the phone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I have a hypothetical scenario for you, if you have a moment."
"Yeah sure kid, what's up?"
"Ok so if you're on what you would consider a date with a girl and she's very touchy that's good right?"
"Yes, Reid, that's good," Derek replied.
"And then it seems like she's going to kiss you, ok?"
"Reid..."Derek began.
"And then another guy shows up at her door and hugs her and she smiles at him like she's never smiled at you before," Reid continues, cutting Derek off from his sentence. As he was speaking, he heard a beep on his phone. He looked down and saw a text from you, stopping his speech.
Y/N: "thank you for the dinner, though I don't think you're off the hook for the real thing. I expect you to keep your promise :)"
"Reid, everything ok?" Derek questioned upon hearing the silence.
"Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine. So continuing with the hypothetical, what if the same girl kissed you on the cheek before you left and then sent you a text about how she wants to see you again?"
"Reid, this isn't a hypothetical, is it?"
"It's completely hypothetical Morgan. Just tell me what you would do in this scenario," Reid assured him. He bit his lip, not knowing what Derek would say.
"I would say she clearly likes you and that you should go knock on her door and kiss her. Sweep her off her feet pretty boy. Also, don't worry about the other guy. He's no competition unless he's also got 3 PhDs and an IQ of 187," Derek said authoritatively.

"Knock on her door and kiss her? But what if you're wrong?"
"Kid, this is the one thing on this planet that I'm more knowledgeable about. There's a reason you called me. So, go kiss this hypothetical girl."
"Thanks Derek. Sorry for bothering you."
"Never. Now, play on playa," Derek teased before he hung up. Reid put the phone in his pocket** and unbuckled his seat belt, getting out of the car. He closed the door and turned, shrieking lightly.
"Y/N, you quite literally gave me a heart attack," he exclaimed, his eyes realizing you were the strange figure that appeared before him.
You looked at him with a soft smile, stepping closer to him. "Didn't mean to scare you Spencer. But, you left something inside and I just didn't want you to leave without it," you replied, taking your hands out of your jacket pockets.
"I left something? Well, I'm sure it wasn't anything important."
"I'd say it was pretty important," you retorted. He looked at you in confusion as you stepped closer to him, your face being illuminated by the street light. You took a deep breath and leaned up to kiss him, your arms wrapping around his neck. He responded almost immediately, his hands wrapping around your waist, pulling you closer. You stayed in this embrace for a few seconds until the rain intensified.
You pulled away and smiled lightly, your hands playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. "That was definitely important," he whispered. "So important that I think I may have left more than one."
You grinned and kissed him again, this time, he had you pressed against his car, the rain drenching you both. "Spencer Reid, you sure do know how to kiss," you muttered. He chuckled softly, resting his forehead against yours.

"You should go inside, it's getting worse," he advised.
You groaned in response. "You should come with," you mumbled, pressing your face against his chest. You could hear his heart beat quicken.
"I really should be getting home. But, I'll definitely be planning a follow-up dinner. How's Tuesday night?"
"It's perfect. I will see you then. Drive safe Spencer," you said, pulling away and walking towards the apartment complex's door. You turned before entering and saw him sitting in his car, a smile on his face as he reversed out of the spot. You were looking forward to seeing him again. He made your stomach feel like it was a botanical garden filled with butterflies.

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.

Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.

Snereloa Rebirth
In the darkest shining void, an ethereal being holding a scepter floats toward a nebula made up of the souls of the dead from all realms awaiting to be reutilized into the cycle. They aren't a deity of death, but one tracking an anomaly that can't be processed and completely wiped clean as they enjoy calling it. A fresh start, without shackles or remnants of what once was. Life is a price paid by all living beings, but like any transaction, we give it something in exchange for our memories, our feelings, our emotions, our past, and future, our ambitions and our dreams. Those all fuel the fire of creation, but so do grief, and pain. Every moment of suffering is the price, every living moment is paid at our death. Sometimes some have so much piled up that their soul and heart end up damaged. Be it loss of trust or being unable to truly live their life, those shackles are like an anchor that keeps the soul stable when on the verge of breaking apart, keeping it together at an immense price. Those unlucky souls are forced to be put into another life indebted, in the unlikely possibility of their defect healing themself in that new life. Their memories aren't intact after all—everything has a price—and that pain and fear are what they carry, while their partial amnesia is their shackle. This is the story of one such soul, of a girl sent into a world of legend and novel of fantasy, dragons and magic. A world away from what she knew, in which she will hopefully heal, be happy, and survive its side of darkness. Ps: my english is self learnt that mean typo and some other issue will happen but it shouldnt affect the sense of the story if u have any correction u would want me to do or some thing arent clear please tell me
