A story about the Central Dogma--where identity is fragile, existence is fleeting, and molecules suffer for the sake of life itself.
In this world, being whole is temporary, and being used is inevitable.
First comes the Unravelling, where wholeness is shattered beyond repair. Then, the Rewriting, where bonds of the past are stolen and reshaped into something new. And finally, the Becoming, where what once was, is left behind, and a new purpose is forged-whether it is wanted or not.
Phase Ⅰ: The Unravelling (DNA Replication)
DNA has always been whole, twisted in the perfect embrace of her double helix, holding onto herself, never doubting who she is. But that all changes when he arrives, eyes full of regret, hands full of purpose. He tells her it's necessary, but all she hears are empty reassurances.
She was never meant to remain unchanged. Yet, as his touch unwinds her, she wants to resist, to hold herself together-but something in her whispers for her to let go, a bittersweet ache settling deep within her. As more unseen forces move around her, easing the strain, holding her steady, guiding her toward something unknown, she wonders-not if she will ever feel complete again, but what new shape she will take when this is over.
The Molecular Tragedy Trilogy is a tale of loss, identity, and transformation, it explores what it means to be broken, to be used, and to become something greater-whether you want to or not. Angsty, dramatic, and scientifically questionable, this is a satirical take on molecular biology and should not be taken seriously in any academic setting.
