It was one unusual hot night. And coincidentally there was no power supply. The reason for the power failure is still somewhat mysterious. Rae could not sleep because of the unusual heat. He sat by his window and looked into the dark light-forsaken night. The moon was thankfully at its brightest that night, which made his watch an interesting one. He saw from his room, how some flies were rolling around graciously. But he didn't put his focus on it. Instead, he gazed into the sky and watched the stars. He watched and wondered why some people love to look at... the sky. He did not see anything attractive in the normal same old sky. Just as he was about to leave the boring place so he could catch some sleep, his eyes caught someone or something as short as his height. Something lone and probably poor. It moved slowly with it's head glittering like a fire fly. Rae looked closely and still didn't know what it was. He decided to go check for himself, but he d

Doctor: hello miss! Holly opened her eyes to see herself in an hospital she doesn't recognize. A female doctor was standing by her side. Doctor: I am Doctor Janise... Holly:   (whispering) my brother! Dr Janise: and you are? Holly: where is my brother? Dr Janise: calm down miss. Your brother is fine. Holly: where is he? I want to meet him. She began to rise up from the bed, intending to search for her brother. Dr Janise placed her palms on Holly's shoulders. Dr Janise: you just have to calm down. Your brother is fine. Please be calm. Holly: alright, I am calm. Dr Janise: thank you. As I was saying, I am Doctor Janise and you are? Holly: why do you want to know? Dr Janise: miss, just let's be friends okay? You can trust me.

She gave one half to her brother and started to eat the other half. Dylan: sister, I am cold. Holly: snow is about to fall. Let's get to church quickly. Dylan: why do we have to go there now? Holly: we can't go home now, not now that the cloud is getting dark. Plus bad father might be home. Dylan: I hate bad father. Holly: I know, so we have to go to church. The southwind came and everywhere was freezing cold. Holly held Dylan's hand and soon began to run. The Church building was the next street and they had to get there fast. Dylan: sis..ter (trying to catch his breath) Holly: huh? Dylan: do.. you think we'll... The sound of the wind suddenly became l

Holly, a ten year old girl and her six year brother, Dylan endured horrific misery from their father. They knew not the meaning of parental love since their mother died, which made Holly see it as her duty to protect her brother. Logan, their father was a drinkard, that apparently hated life. He got depressed after the loss of the love of his life, Heather. They were happily married for ten years, before she got burnt in a gory vehicle accident. Logan learnt of her death and never got over it. Every day, he'ld sit to drink just to forget his sorrows, but the grief never seemed to move. It was as a thick cloud that was ever with him wherever he went. And he'ld cry like a kid, whenever he remembers that Heather was no more. Holly seemed like a demon in human's body, making him so much grow hatred for her brother and her. He hated the sight of them and anyday he sees anyone of them, he'ld make life hell for such person. One morning, Logan had been out for work very ear

Claire got to office quite late as usual, and received smiles from everyone. She wondered why, but eventually forgot about it. She walked over to her cubicle, placed her bag on a small stool beside her table. And started the day's work. "Congrats Claire!" Kath greeted with a frown. Kath was Claire's best friend. They met for the first time at college. At that time, Kath was a freshman and always preferred to stay alone. Claire was the first classmate to talk to Kath which made them become friends. They never parted ways and they finally got to work in the same office. "Congrats for what?" Claire questioned. "I have been your best friend since a long time and you never told me anything about you getting married." Kath screamed and placed a newspaper on the table. "Married.... me..... how... when?" She took the newspaper, and checked it. She saw her image with a man she had never met in her life, Jeffery Tyler. Ring! Ring! Ring! Clair

This life on earth isn't what it seems. It is just an atom of what we think it is. It is even quite shorter than we may imagine. It is idyllic and tranquil, I know. But it is also sly and tricky. Just like the man that gained much profit from his farm. When he was ready to enjoy the fruit of his labour, he was called by life's not-so-friendly friend, death! We see it that five years is enough, therefore we plan for the next five years. Fine! It is good and necessary to plan for the future, but are we going to get to that five years successfully. How would you feel if after all the things you have enjoyed on earth, you finally get punished in the afterlife? Actually, there is an afterlife. How would you feel if no matter all the good things you've done in life, you turn to a firewood for that horrific place called hell? Things that do not matter can take you to hell. A little touching, a little viewing, things that don't make God happy. A little saying, a little actin

"My eyes are too old to search for Sadiu anymore." Sadiku stated. "Grandpa don't tell me you want me to search for your stupid robot. My father died because he was searching for that thing." Earvin angrily shouted. "Your father died because he was disobedient and not because of Sadiu." Sadiku said. "No grandpa, I'm not going to help you." Earvin stood up and ran to his room. Tacy, who had listened to all they were saying followed Earvin. She turned the door knob and fortunately it was not locked. "Earvin!" "Sister, I can't! Don't tell me about it." Earvin said furiously. "This is not my cute fearless brother." Tacy remarked. "But sister, father died in search of Sadiu." Earvin lamented. "No! He died because he never listened to anyone. He wanted to do everything on his own." "But sister, I don't want to search for Sadiu. He's too dangerous. And how can we know
