(COMPLETED)
Coincidence is a gamble, a deck of cards with loads of probabilities.
Coincidence leads a group of highschool teenagers into an experience that haunts them after so many years. It drags them into decisions that scar their consciences forever.
This same coincidence lures them into the drama that ensues many years later as a resultant effect.
However, it is not the regular drama; For the country is on fire, the government is burning and lives are in chains, ravaged by that same demon of their past -- Medusa.
But behold, Medusa is not a demon.
It is not an ancient Greek myth.
It is not a god or goddess.
It is not a religion.
It is not alive.
BUT IT IS HERE!
*******
Enjoy the bumpy ride!

The Presidential Throne
The choices we make in life often come down to good or bad. Sometimes, though, we don't even get to make those choices ourselves. Looking back on every bad memory I can still recall, every pain I've endured that still feels etched into my flesh, I've come to learn one thing: faith. Faith taught me to survive-for my own sake and my own good. The one thing I feared most was losing my parents. Just the thought of it used to break my heart. I grew up living what many would call "the perfect life." At times, I thought I couldn't survive any life other than the one I had with my beloved parents. They were the two people I grew up loving deeply, without anyone else ever taking their place. Being the daughter of two well-known figures in our country was exciting and full of joy. But the idea that one day I might leave them behind-whether through marriage or other life changes-haunted me. It felt like losing a part of myself. Yet, looking back at everything I've been through, I realize that if those events hadn't happened, I wouldn't be the person I am today. This story is one of revenge, romance, love, hatred, and politics-a reflection of the struggles within our beloved country.
