***Miriam clutched her head to a desk. Her mind racing with thoughts. She was tired and weak as the work she had to do was gruesome. She had laid her head for about an hour but there was no sleep. It was strange, how could she be so tired and yet unable to sleep? She decided to head out for a walk and put on her headphones.The road was quiet - perfect for a little exercise and it turned out she was already wearing shorts, the fabric light and comfortable. She was also wearing a tank top that clung to her skin comfortably, its straps a good fit for her curves.But that was another strange thing. She wore shorts and a tank top to work that day. How could that be? It had never happened before. Miriam hurried her feet as she took off on a run but she realized that it was the same dress that she wore to work. She recalled that she didn’t go home to change her dress, or was she hallucinating?The music she was listening to made the run more interesting. It was giving her vibes that stre
She muttered a prayer for mercy as she ran through the thick forest. Her legs didn’t stop until she hit a barrier, her whole body landing in a heap at the figure in front of her.Miriam was careful enough to make sure that one of the trees didn’t trip her down even though she was running at a high speed. But it wasn’t a tree that halted her run if not she would have been down on the ground with injuries to her face and body. The creature would have also eaten her up.Miriam looked up to see clearly who it was. She gasped in disbelief as her brain calculated the person in front of her. Her whole body was frozen in silence as she thought that she had seen a ghost. Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her- very expensive tricks. Her feet were rooted to the ground in terror as she struggled to catch a breath. Miriam turned back to see if the creature that was pursuing her was still there and to her surprise, the creature had vanished completely. The terror was no longer there - only
The hitmen were about to fight with each other in what was about to turn into a heated argument until they heard the sound of a whistle.PHEEEW!Cyborg, the head of the mission assigned to rescue Ms. Serfa and kill Miriam raised a fist in the air.“Enough!” Cyborg yelled prompting the other hitmen to disengage from each other as they were about to start trading punches.“It’s time to end this once and for all. It is a massive success that we can capture Ms. Zendaya because as I heard, she is one of the closest friends of Paul.”“We mustn’t forget our aim. We mustn’t be distracted, we must fight to the end until the Imperial Society Syndicate crumples,” Cyborg folded his fist as he gave the pep talk.“Yaaaayy!” The hitmen screamed excitedly.“Now, I would have loved to take the honors and kill this scum myself,” Cyborg uttered, referring to Miriam who just sat tied to the chair, her body messy and her eyes sunken in exhaustion.“But I will let one of you do the honors,” Cyborg uttered,
Miriam’s body softened, and her breath released in an escape of worry. Perhaps Olivia had a way of escape, she reasoned.“Now, let’s all go get her now,” Cyborg ordered and the hitmen all readied their feet, their weapons sharpened. “She has definitely not gone too far. It’s funny how she thinks that she can escape in this deserted area.”“Serfa, you stay with Miriam,” Cyborg commanded. “Punish her a few more, hit her, slap her, just humiliate her a little more in readiness for when we come back but don’t kill her yet. I want her death to be fun.”Ms. Serfa nodded in pleasure, a smirk on her face as she listened intently to Cyborg’s instruction while the rest went out in search of Olivia.***The newborn cried, her voice a desperate plea for attention to the delight of everyone in the room.The baby was a delicate creature with beautiful eyes, a tiny precious gift, and a miracle of creation.Camille, who had been gesturing and encouraging Sarah to push the baby out couldn’t help but s
“I am sorry Sir. Of course, how dare I undermine your authority. I am always ready to obey your instructions,” Ms. Turner assured calmly. She didn’t want the situation to escalate.“Good!” Paul spoke and they both got into one of the security vans.The drive to Coastwaters Lane was very difficult, especially for Paul whose eyes were fixed ahead on the road every moment. He hoped that he would arrive at the venue on time and that they had not killed Miriam yet. He didn’t know what it would be like for Miriam to be dead - she was one of his closest friends and not just an employee.It was difficult to imagine and that was why he could not just take Ms. Turner for her word that she was dead. He had to go see for himself.They soon got to Coastwaters Lane and drove along the deserted area until they got closeby to the warehouse.“Give me a gun,” Paul said to one of the armed agents.The agent’s gaze was hesitant as his eyes flickered in a deadly brow. He wasn’t sure if Paul was skilled en
The agents had their eyes sharp with a deadly focus of vigilance and their hearts steeled as they moved a few steps forward.Paul and Ms. Turner, who had followed the agents were no longer with them as they were inside the warehouse untying Miriam.The agents stood at attention at the command of their leader when he sensed some danger.POW!A gunshot escaped between the trees and fell on one of the agents.Agent Hawthorns, the same man who gave Paul a gun was shot dead, his whole body landing on the ground to the dismay of the other agents.How tragic!The other agents fired up with an angry resolve, their fingers pulling the triggers repeatedly as they fired through the trees.POW! POW! POW! POW!The gunshots were loud and continuous. It was a complete show of anger and retaliation from the agents.It proved too much of an attack for Ms. Serfa who fell to the ground in a heap - one of the many bullets hit her destructively.Ms. Serfa gasped for breath with a ready rasp for agony, her
He had been doing his job as he should as an employee of the Winstons without any problem. He had done everything they wanted him to do including the things he was uncomfortable doing - so why was Lady Winston trying to pass blame to him?Dr. Lopez’s lips quivered as the words he was to use to defend himself hung in his throat.Lady Winston continued, her gaze intense and fiery. “A few weeks ago, you were supposed to abort Sarah’s baby in front of everyone.”Dr. Lopez nodded his head in affirmation, his mind racing with thoughts.“But you weren’t precise with it and you doubted yourself. I have been wondering - as a medical doctor like you with many years of experience, why would you hesitate to carry out a simple abortion?”The question hit Dr. Lopez like a bullet to his heart. “But Ma’am, I was only talking about the conditions and that it wasn’t comfortable performing an abortion in a public space.”“And why wasn’t it comfortable, eh?” Lady Winston’s eyes narrowed into a deadly squ
Dr. Lopez averted his gaze and his body trembled silently.But he continued in his confrontation. “You know quite well that it is not fair. My beliefs do not align with having an abortion. If you are not going to respect my beliefs, then I don’t know—-” “Don’t tell me you haven’t performed abortion surgery before. You are a medical doctor with many years of experience for God’s sake,” Janet Winston butted in, her voice rising intensely but Lady Winston patted her on the back calmly as if to tell her not to worry herself about the man because he was going to be dealt with.“I have been taught the proper way to do it in medical school and I wasn’t even put under the right conditions. In any way, my beliefs should be respected and I shouldn’t be treated like trash,” Dr. Lopez clamored, his chest heaving in a silent tension.Lady Winston and the others just leveled their gaze with a deadly intensity of warning. Their eyes signaled a storm coming Dr. Lopez’s way.“Alright. It is refreshin
