Trypsin Monologue Letters
12/12/14
Dear Larry,
You did it again, and I could not take it anymore. All the pain, all the heartache, and the years of trying to be everything you ever wanted just for it to never be enough. What did she have that made her more worthy? What did she do to make you leave me? I’ve cried over it for too many nights, enough of the tears. I finally woke up. I finally realized that you didn’t deserve the life I was trying to build with you. It’s finally time for me to change the game. It’s finally time for you to feel like pain that you’ve caused me. By any means necessary.
Sitting in Microbiology one day I heard something that struck me. I was in a daze when I heard my professor say that viruses work by changing the genetic profile of a cell.

The enzymes meant to digest your food and nourish you turned on you and started eating your body instead. In your bloodstream was a virus that was very specific to Alpha-1 Antitrypsin, the substance that inactivates Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Neutrophil Elastase. I know that’s all Chinese to you but you’ll soon understand. I decided to play a game with you, the same way you played games with me. I decided to trick your body into thinking it was doing what it was supposed to. My virus found and bound itself to the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin making it think it was binding to the enzymes it was meant for. I chuckled at myself when I heard the doctors diagnosed you with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic disorder. How foolish were these doctors to diagnose a genetic disorder without doing genetic testing? But hey, it really didn’t matter to me, my plan was working. Over time, the build-up of Trypsin and uncontrolled Neutrophils destroyed your body. Suddenly you’re bleeding excessively, you’re sick from an excess of toxins, and your liver is shot. That was me. You can’t breathe, your lungs won’t take in the air you need and you need continuous oxygen to survive. Your lungs are destroyed and you can thank me. But you see I know that you took your last breath you knew it was me. Your dying words, in that hospital bed, with me standing by your side like I cared were exactly what again? I do believe my dear that they were “You sneaky little

    The Cobra Event Analysis

    The Cobra Event addressed an area of science that I have given much thought to. Viruses are fascinating; the mystery of their complex existence continues to baffle scientists who search for deeper understanding. Viruses have been at the center of a constant debate in the science community, arguing whether they are, in fact, living or not. It is as equally interesting as it is scary how people have the ability to alter one of the most confusing and deadly components of the environment. The Cobra Event further fueled and educated my interest on this topic, as well as enlightened me on how much of a threat these bio weapons and viruses themselves can be.…

    She remembered the last labored breaths her mother had taken, each a struggle for one last moment of life. She remembered watching that same life pass out of her as she heaved her last, and how it had not been quiet and tranquil as movies and books made dying moments out to be. It had been obvious that her last few moments were filled with pain, as it tried its hardest to catch her one last time before she could physically feel it no more. Her soul had passed on, and her body was no longer hers.…
