She spaced into the sky from a wooden bridge, watching the yellow sun set. A gentle breeze slightly blew up her gown and hair, reminding her that there was a flowing river below the bridge. She was only fourteen years old with a lot of questions in her mind. Right from childhood, she had done nothing but to be inquisitively enthusiastic about everything around her because she was isolated from the real world to the blank world where nobody exist except animals. No form of education whether formal or informal. The young girl folded a thick paper in the form of a canoe without knowing what it was then lowered it to the river with a rope, watching it sail with the current of the river. Suddenly, footsteps came from behind to her side. She glanced at the owner then concentrated again before breaking the silence."Jessica, why does the sun move?"The old woman hesitated for a while to find a convincing explanation. She smiled at her saying, "The sun doesn't move, Amaya, rather the earth mo

The blank world is the exact opposite of the real world; no technology, electricity, education, religion, means of communication and transportation except the use of horses. Victims like the twins who grew up there have no knowledge of the existence of the above things. When you think of the blank world, cast your mind back to the 18th century era. Most of all, there are rules guiding everyone in the blank world which, if, by mistake broken by anyone, death becomes the punishment. No one messes up with Jessica's plans in the blank world and go Scot free. Everybody was a captive including workers like Cynthia and Lucky who were about to experience the wrath of the old witch. No one knew how they got to the blank world coz they were captured and blind-folded from the real world. Many had tried to escape but ended up losing their lives, yet never knew the route to the real world where they came from. They prayed for a rescue, a saviour who would save them from the blank world and wrath

The river releases its cold temperature to the environment. People of the blank world did not only feel it that night, they also heard the current, flowing gradually due to the fear that gave birth to quietness after Amaya confessed to had killed the clipper. Though crickets chirped naturally and normally but to the ears of the people, they were singing a death song for Amaya. Hence, death became the next oxygen in the atmosphere. They could smell it and feel it with the cold temperature of the river. Therefore, some quivered with their bodies while some had their lips vibrating like a ringing Nokia cell phone.The night had to be a memorable night in the blank world. It must. Jessica had to make sure of that by bringing justice to the dead clipper, and the only possible way to do that was killing Amaya. Therefore she turned to her in the presence of all who remained quiet to see the manner of justice to be carried out. Disappointed, Jacob kept shaking his head, indicating Amaya's stu

Who created the blank world? Where is it located? How can one communicate with people in the blank world? These are questions, Pakyle smartly wanted to find an answer to, using the two teenagers: Lina and Valentine. To him, they had every ability he wanted; strength and past vision respectively.Lina was a strong young girl, picked from the street by Pakyle when he saw her fighting with street boys. He trained her physically and intellectually. Hence she doesn't reason like a teenager but like an adult. She was on the steering wheel of a car while Valentine seated beside her, occasionally glancing at her and wondering when she learned how to drive thoughtless of using a gun. She pulled over to their destination and stared at Val to see him quivering in fear. So she smiled."You're too handsome to be afraid, Val?" She shuffled a pistol into her boot, covering it with her trouser, then began to wear a black hand gloves. "Do you have a girlfriend? You know...""Can we please, proceed, Li

Once again Cynthia was driven by fear which activated her nervous system, trembling all part of her body and increasing her heartbeat. She wasn't afraid of the question thrown to her but the consequences it might bring if she delivers the answer. Definitely, Jessica won't spare her life for the second time. But she was a good lady who wished Amaya never indulged in the forbidden act of the blank world. So she slowly turned to the young girl who had managed to sit up on the bed, observing Cynthia's trembling attitude."Don't worry, I won't tell Jessica about whatever we discuss here." She assured her. "Tell me all that i need to know about the real world."Cynthia walked to the window where she gazed at the sky as Amaya anticipated her response. "Think of a world where things are made easier and faster." She began still staring through the window. "A world filled with love ones and happy moments." She turned to the young girl with an overwhelming joy that could be seen through the broa
