Fathers Day

The Day They Walked

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.

My Friend's Father

Rencananya, Selin dan teman-temannya (Maxi, Aria, dan Dylan) malam itu mau menginap di rumahnya Lucian untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok dari kampus. Mereka sudah kenal Lucian dari semester pertama, tetapi tak pernah main ke rumahnya. Meskipun begitu, mereka tahu bahwa ibunya Lucian sudah lama meninggal dan ia diurus oleh ayahnya seorang. Mereka juga sudah pernah melihat foto ayahnya Lucian, tetapi hanya sebatas selfie. Itu pun foto berdua dengan Lucian. Nah, di hari itu, mereka sepakat untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok di rumah Lucian karena infonya, ayah Lucian akan kembali besok malam karena masih berada dalam perjalanan bisnis ke luar negeri. Jadi, ketika Selin menumpang mandi di dalam salah satu kamar mandi tamu rumahnya Lucian, Selin benar-benar tak menyangka kalau dia akan melihat wujud ayahnya Lucian yang ternyata bertubuh tinggi dan kekar itu tengah berdiri di depannya, hanya memakai boxer dan membawa handuk, sedikit terkejut karena melihat Selin keluar dari kamar mandi tamunya. Orang yang seharusnya kembali besok malam, mengapa bisa ada di sini?! Lagi pula, buat apa mandi di kamar mandi tamu?! Akan tetapi....sialan. Selin baru sadar bahwa dirinya saat ini hanya memakai handuk! "Astaga! Astaga, ya Tuhan! Maaf, Om!" teriak Selin sembari terbirit-birit ke luar kamar. Sial, ini luar biasa memalukan! Saat Selin sudah mulai tenang, gadis itu berjalan di koridor seraya membatin. Dia tak bermaksud untuk berpikiran mesum, tetapi astaga, itu betulan ayahnya Lucian? Ya Tuhan, seksi sekali. Ayahnya Lucian adalah seorang pria dewasa yang matang, gagah...dan punyanya juga terlihat besar di boxer itu- -eh, sebentar. Baju ganti Selin ketinggalan di kamar tamu tadi!

The day of the Delivery

In the past, people called the Deliveries crazy and treated them like outcasts. They were often dismissed as people lost in their own fantasies. But then everything changed when the world started falling apart, and everything was chaos. The Deliveries turned out to be something far more serious than anyone thought. They weren't just imagining things; they had an incredible power flowing through them. Alone, they were already strong, but when they came together, they posed a real threat to what civilization we had left. Amidst all the chaos and despair, a small group of people decided they weren't ready to give up. They started to form a kind of resistance, a glimmer of hope shining through the dark times. But we all know that hope can be fleeting, like a candle flickering in the wind. Now, the future of our world hangs in the balance, resting on the last people anyone would expect to team up. There's this hero, who isn’t quite sure about her own abilities—she’s powerful but doesn't fully get it yet. And she has to ally with the very forces that led to this widespread destruction. As they try to find common ground, tensions rise. Friends may turn against each other, and the atmosphere is thick with mistrust. There’s a pressing question that everyone is thinking: can the same people responsible for so much pain turn things around? Will they be able to help restore hope, or is there a risk that doing so could lead to even worse betrayals?
