❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ When Magdalene got home, she changed her clothes and sat down on one of the couches. She had branched to the mall to buy popcorn and groundnuts as soon as she left Edwin’s school. She took out the popcorn and the groundnut from the bag and started consuming them. After she consumed everything, she became bored. She turned on the television and started gazing at the actions displayed on the television screen. It was an episodic film. Magdalene had watched the first and the second episodes of the film. The actions of the film hadn’t reached the climax, so she had hoped to watch the third episode of the film one day. She visited the cassette store two days ago. She had gone to buy an interesting film when she saw the third episode of the film she had been longing to watch. Without any hesitation, she picked up the cassette and paid for it. It cost 15 USD. It was worth it because it was an interesting film. At exactly 9:13 am, Magdalene’s s
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ King Rehoboth walked into the inner chamber. Beside him were two guards. He was dressed in his regalia, holding his office staff. As soon as the chiefs saw him, they greeted him. The king replied to them before he sat down. A guard stood on the left and held the king’s office staff while the other guard stood on the right.“I have called you here today because of our last discussion,” King Rehoboth said.“With all humility my king, you mean the discussion about Alfred?” Cooper said, standing up.“Yeah. You have a retentive memory.” King Rehoboth smiled. “I have decided that we will help Alfred and his son with money, so that the surgery can be carried out on them.”“From an African adage, my king, a man doesn’t gulp down the hand that feeds it. Alfred has been a backbone to this state. He risked his dear life just to see that others were happy. I think this is the best time we can show our appreciation to him. We mustn’t let him be handica
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌It was a bright Monday morning, two weeks after Alfred and Davies returned from the hospital. Davies was inside the sitting room when Magdalene walked in. Magdalene had gone to the mall on Saturday to buy food items, because Davies would be resuming school today. When Magdalene got home that day, he showed Davies everything he had bought. Davies took a gaze at the food items. They were majorly what he wanted. He thanked Magdalene.“I hope you have put the food items inside the car’s boot?” Magdalene said gently.“Yes, mum. I finished that some minutes ago. Have you eaten your food?”“No. I will eat my food when I come back. It’s time we went. You shouldn’t be late on your first day at school.”“Before we go, mum, can I tell you something?”“Alright. Be very fast.”“Edwin told me you rarely eat…”“He did?” Magdalene cut in.“Yeah. Please, ensure you eat often because of the baby. I wouldn’t want you to have a miscarriage.”“Miscarriage? Well, yo
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was so happy when he received the call in the morning that Magdalene had given birth to a bouncy baby boy. He had gone to take his bath. When he returned to his room, he glanced through his phone’s screen and saw two missed calls. He became worried when he discovered that Alfred was the caller. He wondered why Alfred would call him in the morning. However, when Gino and Gina came into the room, he borrowed Gino’s phone and gave Alfred two peep calls. Luckily, Alfred called Gino’s number. Alfred never knew who owned the phone number, so Davies quickly introduced himself.“Magdalene has given birth to a bouncy baby boy.” These were Alfred’s words before he cut the call that morning. Davies was sitting under the marquee. It just rained so everywhere looked wet. Davies dialed Gina’s number and waited for Gina to pick up the call. When Gina picked up the call, they exchanged pleasantries. “I am under the marquee we hosted my
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was sitting on a couch in the sitting room. It was a hot afternoon. He was sipping a cold wine as he gazed at the television. Before Magdalene and her baby, Edwin and Alfred left home in the morning, Magdalene told Davies to tidy up the clutter and clean the bathroom. As soon as Davies ate his breakfast, he tidied up the clutter. He started from the sitting room. Next, he tidied the clutter of Edwin’s room before he tidied his own room. He cleaned the bathrooms and toilets with soapy water. The work was too much for Davies, so he felt tired. He was so engrossed in the television when he heard the buzzing sound of the buzzer. He muttered some words before he stood up from the couch. It was then that he realized that he was still tired after the morning engagements. He was so excited about seeing Liam. He closed the door gently when Liam entered. The twosome exchanged pleasantries as they walked in the direction of the sett
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Gilbert, a 30-year-old man, was in the room alone. He was flipping through the pages of a photobook and was so engrossed as he did these simultaneously. “Could this Lord of the Moon be real?” he muttered to himself when he got to the tenth page of the Lord-of-the-Moon-Photo-Book. All of a sudden, he spotted a picture on page twelve. “I’m going to visit the Lord of the Moon someday for power. I want to be the most powerful in this kingdom,” he thought. His eyebrows were raised up as if they were parts of his vocal organs. “You haven’t eaten the food I placed on the table?” Sarah said as she sauntered to the sitting room. “Yes, Sarah. I am going through this historical book. I will munch the food when I am done,” Gilbert said, and flipped to the next page. “What do you want to get from this photo book? It contains records of the past…,” Sarah said and sat down on one of the sofas. The sofa was very close to where Gi
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It was Louise’s birthday party, everyone was trooping into the Golden Inn. The DJ gave palatable songs and everyone danced. “Hello, everyone!” the master of ceremony (MC) said. “Hello, sir!” the crowd chorused. “Permit me to welcome some special guests and the cream of society to the high table. A round of applause for them as they come forward,” MC said. “Okay…, the crowd chorused exuberantly. The MC called out the special guests; as they found their way to the high table, the crowd clapped and honored them. “So, we are not special to Louise?” Alfred said. He was sitting among the crowd and close to Gilbert. “We are more special. You know everyone’s name can’t be mentioned,” Gilbert said. “My apologies to some dignitaries, I omitted their names. Permit me to welcome Mr. Alfred and Mr. Gilbert. A round of applause for them as they come forward,” MC said, and the duo
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “King Rehoboth! Come out and address the mob!!” Alfred said. King Rehoboth walked out of the palace with two of his guards. He was in his regalia and holding his staff of office. He stepped on the exalted ground and faced the crowd. “I am deeply sorry for the death of three noble men from this kingdom. From the outset, our country and her States were known to be restful. All of a sudden, we are faced with crises and wars, killings everywhere. We have placated the Lord of the Water to make our land peaceful again, but it has not yielded any positive result. Gilbert is a lion’s heart, but unfortunately, he has passed on. We need a savior!” King Rehoboth addressed the mob. “Yes, we do!!” the crowd said. “Do we still have brave men? We need a company of strong-hearted men, we need the braves to maneuver these eyesores,” King Rehoboth said. “I am Alfred and every
