Oedipus Journal #3
Diary entries from any of the characters: Oedipus
Dear Diary,
So today has been quite an interesting day. I found out that my city is having a gigantic plague and the only way to stop it, is to find the killer of Laius. I don’t think you could grasp how insanely bad this is, people are going to start dropping like flies, and its all going to be on me. On top of that, some blind prophet named Tiresias accused me of being the murderer! I mean I do vaguely remember killing a bunch of fools at a similar crossroad to where the Laius was… but that doesn’t mean I did it right? At least I really hope it wasn’t me, the prophet even said that I’d be the husband to my mom and a brother to my kids or something. Do you even know what that means? That’s like I married my mom or something, that’s nasty! And that would mean that Jocasta is my mom but there is no way on the face of this beautiful planet that Jocasta could possible be my mom and my wife. The prophet also mentioned that the killer supposedly capped his dad too. This murderer guy is messed up in so many ways, there is absolutely no way it could be me.
Things are really starting to heat up after I spoke to that old fart of a shepherd too. well, I actually might have tortured him a little and then spoke to him. He said something about me being a child that had been given away and that I was the child of Laius? This is merely further evidence against me and my legitimacy. First the old prophet and now this? And now that I think about it, Jocasta did seem very upset that I wanted to know the truth about my heritage. Could she be in on this too? Maybe I should stop worrying and being so paranoid about this. Ill sleep it off and think about it tomorrow.
Thanks diary.
Love,
Oedipus
