A Thriller Ripped From The Headlines
Any way you slice it, this is thriller material. According to the Associated Press: Russia is the first to approve a vaccine... among the test subjects is none other than one of Putin's daughters. So here's the setup: The stakes are high... your daughter has the global virus. To dial things up, she doesn't have long to live if no cure is found. You have days, not weeks. And each day her condition gets worse. The crucible: You lead the country. Not only are you responsible for her life, but for a mass population of people who remind you daily that their lives are not worth losing over your failures. The twist: other countries are further along, and when you hear your country's rivals are closing in, you must make a decision: do you wait for your country's scientists to find a cure while your daughter slowly dies in front of you? Or do you take matters into your own hands, stealing classified research from your enemies? Either way, thousands are dying all around you. What will you do? Will she die? I give you one rule: Get your reader's heart racing. I'll choose the winner.

Sacrifices

Days, weeks, months, years

of all these i have but the shortest,

i will give my life up for all of theirs

but i am afraid it isn't good enough to get me that which i have asked,

today i shall present my daugther for the test with hope to get a result not a death certificate

today i shall write a letter to my adversary hoping to find a solution after we communicate,

and if all my actions proves abortive

then that which couldn't be honestly achieved shall be stolen,

i know i risk the wrath of war, but the power to end a war i have

but the power to end this plague i am yet to have.

Synopsis:

Firstly, i'll get my scientist to work twice as fast as they're already and make my Daughter a test subject. Secondly i will write a letter to my enemy, hoping to get their vaccine samples and guvng them something in return. And lastly, if nothing if the first and second option deiesn't work. i will steal the vaccine.
