❌ 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

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
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It was evening time. Alfred and Helena drove to Sarah’s house. Sarah was feeding her one-year-old son, Oliver, in the sitting room. “Is anyone at home?...” Alfred said. “Yeah. Do come in, the door is unlocked,” Sarah said after recognizing Alfred’s voice. Alfred opened the door and the duo walked into Sarah’s sitting room. “How are you doing, Sarah?” Alfred said. “I am fine. Please, sit down. Mrs. Helena, you look sad; what’s wrong?” Sarah said. “Me?! I am not sad; it’s just a tiring day,” Helena said. “Alright…, but I still doubt it. Mr. Alfred, it’s been a while,” Sarah said. “You can say that again. How are you coping with the kids? Alfred said. “I thank God; we are sustained,” Sarah said. “Good to hear, and where is Liam?” Alfred said. “Liam? He is in his room. Liam! Liam!” Sarah said. “Yes, mum!!” Liam said f
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ AT THE GRAVESITE “We thank God today for the lives of these saints sleeping in the Lord; I pray the Lord grant them a good rest,” the Catholic priest, Grayson, said. “Amen!!” the witnesses said. “There is time for everything under the sun. There is time for planting and there is time for harvesting. There is also a time for birthing and a time for dying. I pray we shall sow good seeds with good rewards in Jesus’ name,” priest Grayson said. “Amen!!” the witnesses chorused. “Now, let’s sing the first hymn; my hope is built on nothing more than Jesus’ love and righteousness,” priest Grayson said. However, the witnesses sang the hymn, sang elegy songs and more words of enjoinment and exhortations followed afterwards. “When a man dies, his soul goes up to be judged. I beseech you, brethren, to make Christ the mainstay of your life. God is a never failing kind of Lord. Now, the underta
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform Everyone walked to a river bank because it was time to set out for the half moon. The birds’ voices were not heard, the leaves were not falling off the trees; so, everywhere remained silent. “It is a privilege we have today to gather beside this river. However, the reason why we are gathered here today is not new to us all, is it?” King Rehoboth said. “No, king Rehoboth,” the crowd said. “Dear Lord of the Water, the custodian of the powers of the water; we seek your help once more. Some lion-hearted men are about to go on an adventure to the half moon; we want you to make them arrive there safely and bring them to the earth safely too. Great Lord of the Water, the archaic one, we wish to see your face once more,” king Rehoboth said, and the Lord of the Water came out from the river after splashes. “Great one!!!” the crowd said with joy. “My lovely people, I have heard your heart’s desires, I have heard your p
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The astronauts descended on the celestial body, the moon, with parachutes. The astronauts arrived on the moon in the daytime. “Wow! The moon has soil too,” Sarah said with surprise. “Yeah, but it has a pungent smell and the aroma is similar to wet ash,” Alfred said, and the astronauts sat on the snow-like soil. “I guess we are hungry now?” Sarah said. “Yes, we are,” Brown said. Sarah brought out some dehydrated food and everyone ate. They slept off afterwards. “Hi, everyone! It’s time to wake up,” Alfred said. “Is it day already?” Smith said sleepily. “Do you think we are on planet Earth? We are still in the day here, which is about 168 hours; so, we have long hours to go before the night sets in,” Alfred said. “You mean 168 hours for just a day?” Raphael said, surprised. “Yes, I read that in a documentary,” Alfred said. “I think we have to move
