Prompt: Letters the characters might have written.
Shepherd,
There was an oracle that told Laius that his son would kill him. This baby is my son, and therefore is Laius' son has well. Because of this prophecy, I cannot live with this baby. I cannot stand to live in the fear of this child. For he will not always be a baby and one day he will be a man- a man capable of killing Laius and I. In order to protect my husband and king, please take this boy far away and kill him. Do this not only because I have asked you to, but also because of the duty you have to protect your king has a citizen of Thebes. I do not care how you take care of this situation, I only ask three things. Firstly, do not tell anyone of this letter, or of the child. Secondly, do not try to contact me about this situation, and do not tell me any particulars. Thirdly, make haste and do exactly has this letter says, do not take compassion on this child, he will be the death of Thebes if you take pity on him.
