LIGHTS. CAMERA. BUT WHERE'S THE ACTION?

By Clark Kent

Film director Will Andrews and producer Stephen Connors, along with their cast and crew, have been reported missing since June 15th, 2020. They were filming their new movie, "Escape to Olympus", in the ancient ruins of Greece. The filming crew started shooting in March, but they mysteriously vanished after departing their hotels in the morning.

Not much is reported in that area, since travelers rarely take the route to where the ruins are. More notification of their whereabouts will come up soon. Let us hope that Andrews, Connors and the rest of their crew are safe. All we can do is wait and pray for their safety. (More details on page 10.)

Shimmering light gleamed through the blocked gateway, entering the black nothingness as it touched the gigantic boulders. A figure in the darkness flinched as he opened his eyes to see what he grasped from beyond the gate. Red paste was staining his hand as he kept on moving the object. It looked like a living thing. An animal to be precise. After a few moments of observing the creature, he realized that it was not just an animal. He could not recall the name they called the living thing. In fact he saw them before, but the creature in his hand was wearing clothing way different than the other creatures he had seen before in his lifetime. After a sudden flash of images in his mind, the name came to him.

Human.

It was a human that opened the gate to the realm of man and the gods... Were they finally free? Free from serving their falsely accused sentence which made them stay in here for a wretched, long eternity? Someone will pay dearly for locking up his kind in here. He looked around his surroundings and saw that his kind was still asleep from their long slumber. Alien objects and more bloody humans polluted the ground around him.

Bouts of anger channeled through his mind. Out of rage, he crawled to the entrance of the gate and began to claw away the boulders which blocked the opening of the gate. He wanted to kill someone. He lusted for blood, but who's blood? Why was he so angry? He didn't even contacted anyone outside of the gate for a millennium!

He then remembered why he had such an enormous grudge on his captor. It was directed towards the person who put every one of his kind in this bleak abyss in the first place. He gritted his teeth in fury as he uttered the syllables of the loathed name.

"Zeus..."
