Afe and the Candle

The captivity of the human race has been addressed in this Cleisthenesian diptych! Starting with "We Are Inmate #881129," Mercator divulgence is no longer a consequentialism. Mount Olympus is in disarray. The Greek Gods withhold inspiration. It seems the discord cannot stop. As modern reiteration of Sodom and Gomorrah, the age old myth of Baucis and Philemon acts as medium for storytelling. In "Afé and the Candle," software engineer, Arthur Ioannou visits Mavrovouni and Creté to help him finish writing a segment of code, which may change humanity as Man sees it.
