• Chapter 2 The morning after their wedding night, the couple were busy working on what they had discussed even before getting married. Mira held a scarlet ring, as her husband imprinted a little diagram that signified something unknown on the ring. The diagram was heptagonal in shape with a line crossing over it from left to right. A sign they alone understood. *** Mira remembered all these as she held the ring in her hand. She was not ready to cry again. She had wept so much, that she no longer saw tears as an option. Facing the wind with great zeal to fight was, to her, the best thing she could think of. She heard a knock at the door and called for the person to come in. Her voice brought no sound, so she cleared her throat and called again. "Come in." The door opened and Michel emerged. "Am I welcome?" Michel said smiling. "Don't kid me girl." Mira said with a friendly tone. Michel hopped on the bed. "I bought some groceries on my way home. A

Events happen at times too fast and at times they seem to drag on forever. But, it is what is gotten from each event in time that proves the fruitfulness of such occurrence. Well, it happened that a few days ago, not too long to be forgotten, I was told to prepare to see the one that was called by everyone 'Great.' In my mind, I was like I had nothing to offer or receive from the person, so I had no reason to meet the person. It never dawned on me that he was truly as he was called and that he would even pay me a visit cos I was like "why me?" At exactly 11:45 am on that Tuesday, I heard a knock. The knock that changed everything. That Tuesday was my only free day to do my house cleaning. But that knock... "Come in!" My mouth said inadvertently. "Happy is the man of this house." It sounded unfamiliar. Such greeting in this neighbourhood? Then it struck me hard; the awareness that 'Great' had truly come. I focused my gaze on the visitor and

It was a bloody evening. Charley sat next to the street light resting her back on nothing. She just stared at the emptiness in front of her and allowed her mind to move freely. The world around her, was more peaceful than ever. No living, no moving, save the whistling wind which watched and called her. Charley had on, her usual outfit, a pure black jacket on a blue jean, with matching black sandals. Except that this time around, she had red stains on the attire. In her mind lingered the words 'It All ends here. No going back. No way forward. The past may seem appealing, but instead gaze on who is leading...' ***** Small Roger sneaked out of his room. He was heading for the stadium where he could play basketball with his friends he had told he would meet. It was a Sunday afternoon, and throughout the service, like every other Sunday, he only wanted the time to be 11:30am, service closing time so he could go home and get ready to run to the stadium. Small Roger

Light-girl Reborn  Her eyes glowed from blue to lightning white, as she arose. "The Tenny in you is gone! The Tenny in you is gone! The daughter of the great Goddess of the world of light, I am Natusho!!!!!" Natusho found herself in space. She headed for the evil domain. And in light she got there. But didn't know how to enter. The world was just too dark. No guard was at the door. She used light energy to power the whole domain so she could freely move in. ***** Manuda was on Gostoki with the small sword on Gostoki's neck. The large one had been broken into two. "I'll make you suffer pain." Manuda said slaughtering Gostoki slowly. The room lit up and the light was blinding. "What's all these?" Manuda screamed. "Gostoki, you did this in this world? You have disobeyed the laws and you will vanish without cause. Gostoki began to fade away pretentiously. Manuda rose up from him. "You get to die without a fight for bringing light int

New Rule and Lordship~ 4  Gostoki smiled and went out of his world. He headed to the dark world with a evil smile. "Hahahahahah! I'll become the greatest of all being in just a while. Hahahaha! No one can stop me this time." He kept speeding in the space avoiding some strange beings on the way. Finally, he landed at the entrance of the dark world. Some feeble guards were standing there. "I am Gostoki, the new leader of the evil world. Let me have my way." Gostoki said with pride. A guard replied him "sorry dude, we don't accept jokers in here." Gostoki got angry. He turned his hands very sharp and sliced them. The disappeared and went down to earth to start a new life as human babies. Gostoki pushed the gate open and walked inside. He could see clearly despite how much darkness existed in there. He walked inside gently. "Magnificent! Hahahaha!..." he kept walking in. "I am Gostoki" he screamed. He killed more and more guards an

Realising and conflict~ 3  Tenny laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. It was past midnight and sleep came not to her. Her eyes wandered around in fantasy of her new friend Gostoki. She had told him about her life and he listened keenly. It was almost a new day and they had planned to go to the stream together secretly. The stream was after the woods a little after the school. It was a silent place and free for anyone to stay. Her wall clock tick tocked, tick tocked and she kept waiting and watching. Rrrrrinnng! Her alarm screamed. It was six o clock in the morning. Yet she didn't sleep. She jumped up to prepare to escape from the house. Six, forty two am. She shut the gate silently and ran away. Finally after everything, she could now leave. As she kept running on the she felt ecstatic. School gate was their set meeting place and that was where she was going. Tenny remembered her mother, Goddess Natusha and she smiled. She felt fulfilled and thought that her mother would be

Fight and flight~ 2 Exam time was close by and Tenny had been preparing since the beginning of the term. She was so ready, she didn't even have to read to pass excellently. That was the main reason her mummy still kept her. She was so intelligent and proactive and had brought so many prizes home. Madam Raty her step-mum, had always collected the prizes and kept them. In the morning of a particular beautiful day. Tenny was in school. And just before the first class for the day, she sighted a Prince Charming approaching. He was ... oh so marvellously endowed with beauty. He had the trait everyone wanted, but nobody knew where he was from. He had just been brought to school and he was registered as a new student. He got to Tenny and spoke up, knowing he had her attention. "Hello, I am Gostoki. A new student here and you are?" She saw charisma in him as he spoke. He was just so wonderful. Every other student that saw what just happened were surprised that Tenny knew of such a
