Oedipus the king

Please King James, lift the plague threatening to destroy our city.

I’ll think about it. Go get me Creon and I’ll decide while your gone.

I got you bro.

Yo homie go find out how to stop this plague so these people get off my back.

Man that was a long run, but anyway I found out that to stop the plague we need to pop a cap in king Laius.

Woah woah woah you want me to kill a man…ok I’ll do it.

So Tireais tell me what you know or I’ll kill you. Man I know what you

did. You killed Laius and you are going to hook up with your mama.

Say what? No way. Get out of here.

Don’t listen to the prophets. My son was destined to kill Laius long ago but was killed as a baby and Laius was murdered by robbers.

I’ve come to tell you that Polybus has just died of old age.

That’s great news! Now you know you were not destined to kill your father and the prophets were wrong.

Polybus and Merelobe are not your true parents, but I gave you to a royal family after a shephard gave me to you from the house of Laius.

You are the son of Laius and Jocasta. You’re true destiny is to kill your father and marry your mother.

It wasn’t worth everything cause destiny always comes true. I need to get back to the palace.

I cant believe all I put everything through just to avoid my destiny. Now everyone I love is dead.

Creon please kill me. I have nothing anymore.
