LAYLA EMOTION DISPLAYED
A young boy in a white shirt and blue shorts stepped out of a brown-painted duplex and walked on a tarmac for some miles. He stopped beside a large field, stood arms akimbo, and peered at his mates playing football on the grassland far off. His courage seemed to be leaving him as he walked closer, halted some miles off and stood with a fixed smile. "I wish am tough and not a sissy." His voice was filled with sadness and he wasn't aware of the footsteps at his back. "Hey. I always see you standing alone. Why don't you join them to play football?"The boy turned about and was immediately mesmerised by the beautiful young girl in a bikini."They hate me and always called me a sissy.""Don't mind them," the girl paused her speech, jerked her new friend's arm and dragged him towards the shade of a mahogany tree beside them. "They are all bullies. Especially, Lang."The boy nodded his agreement, and the contentment of being held by the pretty girl made him redden. "Let's seat here and
LAYLA PRINCESS OF DARKNESS
Just like fire in harmattan, the news of the black-eyed girl spread around the island of Arkansas, and the tongues of those who heard about her were tied in shock. Since we fear what they don't understand, and hatred always comes after fear, the inhabitants became fearful of her."That which is the source of the excess rain that is destroying our plants.""My farms were destroyed by erosion, and it's all Layla's fault.""My cow died overnight, and I suspect witchcraft is involved."At last, plans were put in place to exterminate the evil one among them, and D-day promptly arrived sooner than expected. As soon as the world was pitched in darkness because of the starless and moonless sky, some group of young men in black uniforms and hoods over their heads were seen gathering under the bridge to Arkansas general hospital."I hope we are all here?" "Aye. Let's be on our way now.""Are we returning her to the middle of the sea or we are killing her?""Killing her, of course. Who has th
LAYLA WELCOME TO YOUR PAST
Six people were crammed inside a minibus, and the driver drove around the neighbourhood for a while."Over there. That is their lair," the young girl announced from the back of the car.Zuma drove closer to the uncompleted building on the left side of the road, parked and was out of the car as soon as the ignition was turned off. "Hey. I need to talk to you. Where is Lang?"Six lads were smoking cigarettes and gambling when one among them noticed the officers in uniform, signalled to his comrades, and they all scampered out of the back door and were soon lost among the numerous buildings."Wait. Am not here to arrest you. I just want the novel you collected from her.""Get lost!""Come after us, if you dare.""Damn kids. I am trying to save them from untimely death," Zuma raised his two arms and shrugged."We can't leave them to their fates. Please let's look for them," Isabella let out. "Did you know where they usually gathered apart from here?""No." "Did you know their house?""
LAYLA LIFE IS AN ILLUSION
A young man stepped out of his cottage, glanced at the dagger in his hand, descended the steps and raced into the midst of the mobs. "Make way... Make way, and let me see his face." "Take it easy, boss. He was caught red-handed and will be handed over to the sheriff." "Impossible. The last criminals we handed over to them were released immediately after. He must be made a scapegoat to serve as a deterrent to others that the Seaview territory is not to be stepped by a bandit." "I... I am not a bandit," a voice chipped out of the mobs, and the man with the dagger shoved the men out of the way with his shoulder and glared at the naked man on the ground. "Please don't kill me. I am a foreigner and lost my way-." "Be silent and say no more. You are a bandit and should be killed." "Take it easy, Banjo. Let's verify his statement before delivering our judgement." "What is there to verify? He was caught among our grains and had ten filled bags on a wagon. What is there to confirm again
LAYLA KARMA IS REAL
The sound of gunshots boomed suddenly and was immediately followed by screams and scurrying feet. "Run for your life, we are under attack.""Into the bunker!""Get off the way now.""My husband is shot. Oh...my... Gush!"The uproar become hysterical at the sight of thousands of men in combat uniforms, and the assaulted inhabitants of the peaceful village raced into the safety of their houses, then hurried back as their refuges burst into flame."Ransacked their house and put all the males to death," a man stepped out from the mobs, gestured to some of his subordinates and announced, "come with me.""They were defenceless villagers, and were just unlucky to be on the enemy's territory, I suggest we tempered justice with mercy, Sir.""Remind me your position, officer.""I am an enlisted private, commander!""Stick to your post and don't put your mouth where it isn't needed," the commander announced, stepped in front of the advancing armies, jerked his machine gun up and targeted an unf
LAYLA THE UNIVERSE IS A SCHOOL
The room is sparsely furnished and filled with lots of gadgets, and romantic music boomed from the radio on the centre table. The couples on the king-size bed cling to each other for a while and the woman raised her head from her man's hairy chest and looked into his eyes, and then asked, "what will you do about her? It's two days now since you brought her here," the voice of the woman boomed over the sound from the radio. "Don't worry. I have informed my superior and they will make arrangements for her at sooner time," he stood up from the mattress, grinned at his wife and announced, "we will be okay, she is just staying with us for more few days." "No. That girl is evil and must be sent back to hell where she escaped from... You won't believe she hasn't eaten anything since she arrived here?" "Why. Did you ask for her choice of the meal?" "Yeah. Guess her reply?" "What?" "She said she had been feeding on our fear since she arrived here, and the only food she wants from us is
LAYLA UNCOMMON AMONG THE EARTHLINGS
Apart from the humming sound of the chopper engine, the two passengers were as quiet as a mouse through their flight to Arkansas island. Each was lost in his thoughts and unaware when the chopper descended."I shouldn't have pulled the trigger. I thought he want to attack me, and I shot on impulse," Isabella said as they came down from the eggbeater. "Stop blaming yourself. He is already possessed and will be dying after all.""I can't get it off my chest.""Keep repeating to your subconscious that you did the right thing under such conditions. Believe me, I would have pulled the trigger if he take a step further.""Are you saying this to make me feel better?""Nope. He isn't himself and is unpredictable. All Layla's zombies always remind me of a zombie movie I watched during my teenage days."Isabella giggle at Zuma's speech, looked into the taller man's face, and asked, "where are we heading?""To their police station. Am sure they will have some records of her.""That's the polic
LAYLA WHOEVER GOES HOME WITH A MAGGOT-INFESTED WOOD
Banjo was right, everything started going haywire as soon as he drove into the police station."Welcome boss, a man smartly dressed in a blue uniform saluted to welcome the chief of police."Hope no problem in my absence?""None, boss. Except for the normal petty thefts and bar fights."Banjo disembarked from the police car, turned around and opened the passenger door, and his chest rise and fall rapidly as Layla stepped down with Shirley curled around her thin neck."Is that not the black-eyed demon?" The officer said with a shocked look."Her name is Layla, and she is not a demon.""I don't care, boss. I ain't staying a second in this office with her."Layla jerked Banjo's trousers, gestured to him to bend closer and whispered into his ear, "he will be dead if he leaves the gate of this station.""What did she say?""Forget it, John. Just go back to your post. ""None of the officers will stay in this station with her. We will rather drop our resignation letter than spend an hour in

THE BLACK PASSOVER
The sun raged in the sky through the day, then the atmosphere became chilly as soon as the sun retire from its duty. A moment later, a twilight appeared from the east, and its eerie brightness kept the darkness away. When nighttime comes some hours later, a big cloud from the east overshadowed the stars and moon, and the gentle wind evolved into a whirlwind, followed by lightning and thunderstorms. "I think it's about to rain," Zuma muttered with a straight face, turned towards the slumbering officers beside him, and let out, "you guys should wake up, we need a plan."The taller among the officer stretched his arms and yawned out loud, and then let out, "you are the boss. Tell us what you have in mind."Zuma bit his lower lip and looked lost in thought for a while. "I can't seem to think straight. I won't ask you for a plan if I have one I ground.""No idea, boss." The officer answered back, and then close his eyes."We will part as soon as we enter Adam's Creek. You guys should kee

The bullet passed Isabella's face in an inch and she smelled the scent of her burnt flesh before feeling the pain from her roasted flesh. "Ouch!" She cried out, and then muttered in anger, "that's too close, John.""I can't shoot you, Bella. My bullet is for that bastard," John yelled, then leapt forward and shoots the dying robber in the forehead twice."He is dead. Stop wasting your bullet," Sampson said."You nearly split my skull. Why don't you push me off the way?" Isabella stood up from her kneeling position and glare at the smiling officer in her front."But I don't. He was about to shoot, and I did the first thing that came into my mind... I thought you will thank me for saving your life?" "Thank you, but don't ever try that with me again. What if I move my head in fright?" Isabella asked."You didn't. The end justifies the means, isn't it?""Of course, it does," Sampson answered back, then peered at the wounded officer and asked, " what are we going to do about him?""Drive

GATEWAY TO HELL
The unexpected arrival of the man in a police car disrupts the armed men's plan, and the four men open fire on the incoming car as it approached them. The leader of the gang is a tall man with a patch over an eye, and he immediately dived for cover when the man beside him grunt out loud and fell dead. "Shoot that bastard now," he cried out, and then shot several times at the incoming car, but the driver swerve to the right, and then, to the left to evade the bullets. "Ouch! One of the robbers who was shot in the breast where his heart was located looked stunned for a while, staggered backwards and fell with a loud thud."Race for cover and don't stand and get yourself killed," the leader cried out as he raised his hand to clean the sweat off his forehead, and then peered out of cover, shot the man who dived out of the police car door and looked grimly when his shot missed. Zuma was out of the car instantly, and he immediately rolled to the back of a jeep parked beside him and was f

MY WIFE FROZE HERSELF TO DEATH
A wise man once opined that 'humans are the greatest threat to their fellow human.'This saying proved to be the truth when Arkansas island was used as a case study. A few days ago, the island was known as one of the safest places on earth. But now, the opposite is the case. Yet, the reason is not far-fetched. Evil men are now using the disorder on the island to perform their evil deeds. Funny enough, most of the recent death had little to do with Layla, and it seemed the demon girl had decided to take a break for a while and watch as humans bring the awaited destruction on themselves.Isabella's opened her mouth in astonishment during their short drive to the seaside, and she was only able to speak when the youngest officer among her team patted her on the shoulder and asked, "did you think we will win against this evil?" "Yes," she answered back, shakes her head and resumed her speech, "though it will never be the same again. The scars will always remain in the people's minds."

HELL IN A FEW DAYS
Adam's creek is located at the extreme side of northern Arkansas, and the journey from the police headquarters to the creek is over two hours by road. Because of the fear of the unknown, the two officers looked sadly as they walked through the lobby. "They expect you to be there in the next two hours, I suggest I should go with it some officers by a speedboat, while you drive by road and try to delay as much as you can," Isabella announced when the pair emerged at the grassland in front of the main building. "How many hours will it takes you by speedboat?" Zuma asked back. "One and a half hours, if the weather is good.""Then you need to move now. We dont know if they were already waiting for us, or on their way," he paused his speech as they emerged closer to the officers in line, waited till Isabella stepped beside him and asked in a whisper, "how many men did you plan to go with?""Four men, with lots of weapons. You need to go with a gun as well.""I have my weapons inside my

THE END OF THE WORLD
From the port until they reached the police headquarters, the whole street was filled with the corpses of Layla's victims. And the two officers gawked with grief-striking faces when they see the numerous deaths awaiting them.Shockingly as it seemed, the safe island had suddenly turned into a death trap, and the corpses were so many that the municipal authority have no more places to put them. "Wake up, honey. Please wake up." A woman nude except for her black underwear, lay over her dead husband as tears flowed down her pretty face."Repent all mortals. This is the end of the world and the end of all mortals. Come to God now before it is too late." A man in a flowing white gown raised the Bible in his hand and cried out with a loud voice, leapt into the front of the passerby and then resumed his preaching. "The Lord is on his way, and he will soon appear like a thief in the middle of the night... Repent, before it is too late.""My son is dead! Somebody help me please." One hysteric

TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS
Her name was Sheila, and she was his first love. After years of courtship, they decided to get married, and that was when tragedy struck. "Everything is ready. The bride's gown, the cake, the hall and the decoration. I hope you have gotten our wedding rings?" The woman nestling into the chest of her lover asked as she peered into his face. "Of course, honey. They were delivered some hours ago, and it's safe inside my locker." "I pray we don't forget anything," the woman muttered as she raised herself into a seating position, wore her white scandals and stood up with a fixed smile. "Take it easy. I know the wedding is once in a lifetime experience, but that doesn't mean we should go crazy over it... And where are you going?" "To my dad's home. I am not yet your wife until I say I do on the altar tomorrow." "You can't leave me like this, honey." "I will, dear. I need to make sure everything is done to my taste." The man on the bed moaned for a while shrugged and stood up. And a

WILL YOU LIKE TO BE AT PEACE?
"DID YOU AGREE TO LOSE YOUR SOUL FOR THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL SET YOU FREE FROM SEVERAL REINCARNATIONS?" The man seating on the grass cock a smile when he read the first page, shakes his head and mumbles, "what a way to raise the reader's curiosity. Now I am intrigued."He turned to the next page and read out loud."YOU ARE YET TO AGREE!""Hahaha!" Steve burst into uncontrollable giggling and exclaimed, "no wonder they believed this book is cursed. The writer did a marvellous job in increasing the reader's curiosity."Saying this, he turned to the next page, then cursed out loud when the previous message displayed. "Well... Well. Since you want me to say it loud," he paused his speech as the smile on his face became huge. "I agree," he muttered as he turned to the next page, then read out loud.

TERRIFIC STAGE
"I have heard many unbelievable things in my life, but the thought of getting killed by reading a book baffles me," one of the officers on duty announced as soon as their August visitors were driven out of their presence.""You won't be surprised if you were on this island some years ago. I grow up here and I can tell you much about the power of that evil girl.""You have my ears, though I don't think you will be able to convince me. As I said earlier, I am a sceptical person when it comes to supernatural things," the man announced."Steve is running his mouth because he is a stranger on this island... Let me tell him a story that will give him goosebumps.""You have my ears," the man named Steve answered as he peered into the eyes of his comrades, and the daring glare on his face made them giggle among themselves."If you are as bold as you claimed, then go and read her book.""Of course, I will. I already removed the one inside that chopper, and it's here with me.""You are crazy!"
