Mayora gets out of bed slowly while holding the small white towel around her with her left hand. She sits up and unwraps the medium sized towel around her, revealing the gentle curves of her full and firm b**bs with the 'dark berries' which stood out. She bends over slightly and picks her Bra from the terrazzo floor she gently hooks the sky-blue bra in front of her body and rotates it 360 degrees to her back, after which she puts her hands through both handles and placed them on her shoulders.
Charles Moves slowly from his side of the bed towards Mayora and caresses her shoulders gently. This sends several waves of current into her body. "I had the time of my life Mayora. I can't believe I've been missing out on heaven all this while", Charles Said as he moved his hands down her chest towards her cleavage.
"That's all Charles.", Mayora said with a small simile at one side of her lips and continued "That's how it works, and it gets better, or so they say", she said as she stood up and walked towards her pant which was a few inches from the Bed. Charles stared at her buttocks in awe, “I've just been disvirgined".
**One day later!**
"Peterrrr!! I had the time of my life", Charles said with a large smile on his face as he walks into peter's room. He rushes towards peter and hugs him tightly.
"What's going on?", Peter said while looking confused: "I've always said your body is soft but...". "But what? Peter cuts in as Charles begins to laugh uncontrollably. “But it's different from a girl's softness”. Girls are soft and curvy and firm and…”.
Eh ehm…Peter clears his throat." You did it with a girl you just met How Pathetic. Tell me, how did it happen?" Peter said still confused "It just happened... I don't know how to explain it, but it just happened". "Shut up Charles. I hate it when you say it just happened. Cut the Chase. How did it happen? Peter asked while grabbing Charles's shirts as if to strangle him: "Fine I got invited to a match making club yesterday and...….
Look. Isn't this Mr. James?", Phillip said while staring at his Smartphone screen. I and Jacob took a quick peek and Phillip quickly returned the smartphone into his pocket. It was school hours and smartphones are not allowed.
“The one that got transferred to another school for flirting with a student?”, Jacob asked. "Yeah, that's right. Looks like he's getting marred", Phillip said.
"At least he'd stop flirting around", Jacob responded while I listened to them both. I was about to speak when miss Tulip suddenly walked into the passageway and approached us with intent.
Phillip was still running his mouth and didn’t notice miss Tulip coming from behind him. She snuck behind him and smacked his butt. "Ouch...", he screamed and turned around suddenly. "Are you gossiping about other people's businesses again? You should have grown past this by now, she said with a firm look on her face.
“Are you suddenly interested in my butt?", Phillip said while smiling. "That's no way to talk to your teacher”, miss Tulip responded.
"I'm so sorry. Are you suddenly interested in my butt, ma'am?", Phillip said and chuckled silently. "Too bad I’m not interested in children, she said as she walked away with her hands folded behind her. "Mr. Charles don't let these peeps corrupt you", she said as she suddenly turned around and winked at me. My heart melted.
I looked into her blue eyeball just before she turned around. All I could see was perfection I couldn't take my eyes off her and observed her dark brown hair in the distance "Wake up Charles... wake up" Jacob said while waving his hands in front of my face.
"Looks like she's interested in you as much as you're interested in her”, Jacob said.
I'm interested in her?" I said in denial "Come on, isn’t it obvious?", Phillip responded. "Don't push me guys. I heard she has a boyfriend", I said. "Yeah, and you have a monster under your clothes", Phillip said, and we all laughed loudly.
"Anyway, there's a match making club coming up in ten minutes. Charles the virgin, are you in?” Phillip said with his hand over my shoulder. “I want to... I...”, I was still trying to decide when Jacob cut in "I'd take that as a "Yes. You're in". "Come on guys, is this necessary”, I asked. “It's gonna be fun, just relax and flow with the vibes”.

Five (5) amazing facts about Africa
17th of April 2022

**1. Second Largest continent**
Africa is the second largest continent after Asia. However, Africa has the most countries out of any other continents. Africa has 54 countries such as Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic Ghana Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and so on.
One of the biggest countries in land mass is Algeria and that country only occupies 7% of the continents territory this just shows you how small these countries are in Africa.
**2. English is its most spoken language**
If we were to guess what the most spoken language in Africa was, most people would say Swahili or Arabic. But that’s not correct. English is the most spoken language in Africa, with over 700 million speakers.
English is now the primary language of many countries in Africa. Arabic has more than 100 million speakers and that is the second most spoken languages which leave Swahili as the third most spoken language. The fourth is French which may surprise a lot of people that didn’t know anything about Africa except what they are told in textbook which is over 90 percent wrong. Some are so ignorant but believe they know everything, hence believe Africa is a country- Americans!
**3. Life expectancy of 62 years**
The average age that people live is alarming. Life expectancy is about 60 to 62 years.
The life expectancy for Africa in 2019 was 62.95 years, a 0.46% increase from 2018. The life expectancy for Africa in 2018 was 62.66 years, a 0.78% increase from 2017. Africa life expectancy https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AFR/africa/:~:text=The%20life%20expectancy%20for%20Africa%20in%202019%20was,was%2062.66%20years%2C%20a%200.78%25%20increase%20from%202017.
Most people won't even see their 60th birthday.
**4. Second Largest world population**
Africa is second when it comes to the current world population by continent. Africa right now has over one billion people. Asia is the largest with over 4.1 billion and that's mainly to do with India and China both having over one billion people in their countries respectively.
Africa's population is about sixteen (16) percent of the world's population. Every year the population goes up about 2.5 percent which means in about six or seven years, Africa will have more than 1.5 billion people.
**5. Fastest growing continent**
In terms of population, Africa is one of the fastest growing continents right now. Africa’s population by 2050 which is about 30 years from now is expected to double in population. There will be over two billion people living there which is really remarkable.
A major reason to this is because health care facilities have begun to get better, and slowly the world has been helping. Africa has a lot of families which are constantly getting bigger and bigger.
The average household in Africa has about five (5) children. Africa has countries with the highest fertility rate that is close to five times the European average which is about 1.6 children born to each woman. In the end, Africa is going through a baby boom. All of this being said is going to increase the pressure on Africa's governments to deliver adequate health care, education, security and more job opportunities.
*There are many more amazing facts about Africa but I’d stop here to avoid this list from being long and boring!*

“What took you so long? We haven’t got all day”. he said as I moved towards him slowly with fear. “But you were at the storage just now”. “What storage? I never left this room”, he said and continued his duty. “But dad… I..”. My heart skipped a beat as he said those words. I was short of words and my heart began to race. “Am I going crazy?”, I thought as I returned to the observation table. I looked at the wall clock, it was a few minutes past 9pm. Two hours had passed since we began, and we had gotten any answers.
“I gotta clear my head dad”, I said as I walked to the corner of the room. There was a small mirror and a hand basin. I pulled my gloves, opened the tap and splashed water over my face with my eyes closed for a few seconds. I opened my eyes and looked into the mirror. Behind me was a woman with dry skin and a face with an empty eye socket. She shrieked loudly and was about to touch me when I jumped up suddenly and screamed. “What’s the matter, son?”, dad asked. “Nothing dad. It’s just… I’ve been seeing things”, I said as I took a seat.
“I guess you need a break from all this. How about you relax after tonight. Take a break for a day or two. I can handle things down here myself”. “No dad, you know I can’t leave you here all by yourself”. We talked it over for a few minutes and decided we’d both take a few days off. “Whatever autopsy needs to be done can be taken somewhere else”, he said as we proceeded to stage three of the autopsy.
It was time to observe the stomach and the gastrointestinal system. Dad handled the stomach and ripped it open gently with the scalpel. As he opened it, we observed a small piece of material which was wrapped and bluish. Dad took the scissors from the tray, handled the material, and pulled it out. It was a flower- a blueish flower. Dad unwrapped it and put it on the tray beside him. He then walked over to the table across the room to a bookshelf. He picked out a book and began to compare the flower with a wide range of flowers which the book provided. He was able to find a similarity within few seconds. It was a plant known for causing convulsion and asphyxiation.
“It may have caused the inflammation of the organs”, Dad said as he continued to check for more information. “But why would anyone want to do this?”, I asked. “One step at a time son. One step at a time”. He said and continued. “This flower only grows in Asia”, he said as he read from the book. “If it only grows in Asia then how did she come in contact with it?”. I asked. “It makes no sense for her to have been in Asia since the body was Caucasian and there was no identity. She would have had to register at the bank, hospital, or airport at some point. What do you think, dad?”. “My best bet is slave trade”. “Do people still do that shit?”.
“Not everyone is civilized son. Both hands and ankles are shattered. Her legs were probably tied together, and hands bound backwards so she wouldn’t escape. And tongue cut off so she wouldn’t scream. All these are indicative of slave trade”, he said as he walked back to the body. Let’s get on with it. More answers will come”. We opened the stomach fully and we could see a small piece of clothing carefully folded in. It was a few inches wide and was made of a soft silk material which looked brownish and old. We unwrapped the cloth. In it was a small circle and a occult-like symbol at the centre. It looked like it was printed on the material. Around the circle was several words written in a strange language, perhaps Latin or Greek.
“This cloth looks very old. It should have been dissolved by stomach acid but isn’t”, I said. “Something isn’t right son”. “But how could it have gotten there?”. “The only viable explanation is the flower was wrapped around the cloth and she was forced to swallow it” Dad continued “get a scalpel son, let’s see what awaits us”. He began to cut through the layer of skin around the stomach. I took a scalpel and began opening the other side. We opened several layers until the fourth where we saw something strange. We opened the fourth layer of skin and spread it like a blanket. The same symbol and language which were on the blanket were also printed on the layer of skin. “Son, I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere... this is occultic. Most probably a human sacrifice. Perhaps she was being used to appease some god or being tortured for her sins. Either way this isn’t good, and I don’t think we wanna be here.
As soon as dad said those words, the lights flickered, and the radio turned itself on once more. “oh my darling, oh my darling... oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever…”. “Didn’t I rip out the batteries?”, dad said in shock. We suddenly heard loud thunderclaps outside the morgue. “it’s gonna be a stormy night and nobody is going anywhere”, a voice in the radio said. It was followed by a loud screech and the radio went off.
“Dad let’s get out of here”. “Come on son, we need to leave now”. We barely took a step when the fluorescent bulbs around the room suddenly shattered in all direction followed by a loud thunderstorm. We both fell violently and struggled to get up. The room was in total darkness. I took out my smartphone from my pocket and put on the torch. “Dad? Dad?”. “I’m here son”. I went towards him to help him up when I noticed something very strange.
The storage vessels were all opened, and the bodies were all gone.

Paranormal Activities!

Lead Image https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/spooky-ghost-in-white-standing-in-the-middle-of-a-dark-road-picture-id108348234?b=1&k=20&m=108348234&s=170667a&w=0&h=OnX-ZIKixUgeaHZ0M0Or4rqrR1bic5GsohIsmoMNOS8=
The body appeared normal. There was no sign of injury. The body was clean and didn’t look like she had died from a physical attack. I went to the board opposite the observation table, picked a chalk and wrote my observation. “Her ankles her fractured”, dad said as he moved her feet in the clockwise direction. The body looked like it had been dead but as I opened the eyes, I observed something strange. The eye was not of any familiar colour- there was no while layer but was completely grey. It was creepy as hell as I had never seen anything like it before
Dad and I were both Coroners and were observing a body that had been brought in by Steve- from the police department. According to him, the body had been found in a crime scene and couldn't be identified..
“This is unusual”, dad said as he pointed the torch towards the eyes while observing it. “She must have been exposed to some sort of chemical at the crime scene”. “But her body isn’t scarred. Any chemical would have damaged the skin around as well”, I responded. It was hard to understand but we proceeded with the autopsy. We made certain observations which were biologically impossible. Her wrists and ankles were broken without signs of physical trauma. Her eyes were completely grey, her tongue had been cut off not surgically but roughly as if she was being tortured. There was no explanation for any of it. Dad did the opening and observation while took pictures and took note of the observations.
“Let’s begin the internal observation”, Dad said as he picked up the scalpel to cut the body open from the chest down to the stomach. He was about to cut the body open when the fluorescent lights above us flickered and dad hesitated. As he moved the scalpel closer to the body once more, the light flickered twice in a row and the radio on the table across the room suddenly turned itself on while playing the nursery rhyme “oh my darling… oh my darling clementine”. Dad paused as I walked towards the radio and turned it off. It turned itself back on and began playing the same song. I changed the channel several times, but it kept returning to the same channel and played the same song continuously. Dad walked up to me, picked up the radio and pulled the batteries out.
We walked towards the body, and dad was about to cut it once more when blood suddenly rushed out of the left nostril. A small housefly followed and dashed across the room until it was caught in the UV fly trap. Dad proceeded and cut the body down from the chest down to the stomach. “This isn’t normal”, he said as he observed the kidneys. They were terribly burnt as if she had been a victim of third-degree burn. The heart and lungs were observed. They were both burnt terribly and had several cuts on them as if they had been slashed severally by a knife and had been returned afterwards. But it made no sense as there were no evidence of burn or cuts on the outer layer of the skin.
The organs were removed and placed in a tray before us when I suddenly heard footsteps down the passageway. I took several pictures in each case while he pulled the skin open and began observing even stranger things. “Go check it out”, dad said and continued to observe the body while I walked out the door. I walked down the hall slowly perhaps out of fear as I began to look both ways in case an intruder had come in. I opened the door to my left and looked in. It was small empty room with no sign of entry. I did the same for all rooms along the hall until I got to the end of the hall and took right turn.
I looked up to the small security mirror at the top right corner of the hall and saw a creepy looking lady standing right there, a few inches from me. I turned around immediately but there was no one there. I looked at the mirror once more and there she was walking towards me slowly. I turned around again and there was nothing. I dashed down the hall out of fear until I got to a door and entered through it quickly. As I entered, I heard a loud squeal. It sounded like our cat Rodney. I pushed aside empty containers and kegs at the corner of the room while following the sound. Before me was Rodney. It had injuries all over like something had attacked it. I bent over to pick him up when I suddenly felt something grab my shoulder from behind. I shrieked and jumped up out of fear...
“Easy son, it’s me”. “I thought you were... how did you?”. I couldn’t complete my words as I was still in shock. “Come on son let’s get back to work”, he said as we cleaned up Rodney and let her be. “I’d catch up to you”, Dad said as I walked back to the morgue while he went into one of the rooms along the passageway.
I opened the door and walked into the morgue. Dad was right there observing the body. I was shocked, “What took you so long?”.

“Be gone poor spirits”, be gone…”, they both said as they face each one with their hands wrapped in chains stretched towards them. The spirits turned to dust instantaneously, while Charlotte’s and I had our heart beating heavily.
Within a few seconds, Zachron possessed Mag completely. She screamed loudly as soon as this happened, and a blood-like fluid began to rush out of her ears and eyes. but it wasn’t her voice. It was so loud that we had to cover our ears. “The voice of a thousand souls devoured by Zachron”, said the robed men. As she screamed, the entrance to the room began to vibrate at a spot as if someone was trying to force it open from behind, the glass windows shattered, and a heavy wind rushed in.
The screaming suddenly stopped, and the Mag possessed by Zachron opened her eyes. Her eyes turned black, and the white layer was completely absent. The shape of her teeth changed. They became longer, brownish and razor sharp.
“You have summoned me from the dark. Now I will feast on your souls”, she said as she looked towards us. “We haven’t done anything wrong, please leave us alone”, we said trembling and jumped off our seats to run. “Silence” one of the robed men cut in. “These children are not worthy of your greatness. They are insignificant. I implore you to leave them alone”. “They are mine”, she replied loudly and licked her face with her tongue which had become longer. “I’ve come for you and will have you”, she said and suddenly jump up to her feet. Before she could stand completely, both men jumped towards her and pushed her to the ground. She was stronger than both men and managed to flip away while laughing heavily. Her voice echoed through the room. “Come assist me”, the man shouted as he struggles to hold her or perhaps ‘it’ since it wasn’t Mag anymore. We ran towards them quickly and pinned her down while the other man quickly grabbed the goat, brought it closer by extending the rope and placed her hand on it.
The goat gave out a loud shriek as Zachron was passed into it. Mag passed out afterwards. One of the Men quickly grabbed the slaughter knife and struck down against the goat’s neck with all intensity. “You can’t hold me down”, the goat spoke and dodged the knife at the last moment and became free. Its teeth were visibly longer and razor sharp. It jumped towards the man, bit his hands heavily, and tore the skin off his flesh with blood rushing out.
As soon as it bit him, Zachron left the goat and was passed onto the man. Charlotte and I ran backwards out of fear. The monster floated in the air as it came towards us and clenched its teeth as it approached. The second man jumped into its front and was chanting some words when Zachron grabbed him by the neck and began to choke him.
Out of bravery or perhaps stupidity, Charlotte picked up a chair at the corner of the room, moved towards them and banged it on Zachron. AS the chair hit him, he looked in our direction and threw the strangled man away like he was a piece of paper. He shrieked and screamed loudly as he came close to us with super speed. We began to shift backwards fearfully until we hit a wall and could no longer run. We shivered and cried as we thought it was going to be the end of us. He came closer and reached for us with his arms stretched out.
And Mag suddenly regained consciousness and shouted “Zachron” at the top of her voice and began to chant loudly with her both hands spread wide and raised above her head. Zachron turned around and began to speak a strange language and approached her speedily. Mag continued to chant and shouted, “go back to hell where you belong”. She said those words and the man’s mouth opened widely with blood gushing out with amazing speed. It was like water gushing out of a shower. It lasted for about ten seconds, and the possessed man fell from mid-air to the floor. He was unconscious.
Mag ran up to him and, said some words and drew a symbol on his head using the blood on the floor. She walked across the room to the spot where the goat was and placed her finger on its head. It passed out as soon as she did, after which she took the dagger and cut off its head. Its blood was strangely black. “Congrats girls… you’re free”, she said while approaching us. Charlotte and I were still at the corner of the room when she said these words. We looked at each other’s faces, ran towards mag and hugged her. “Zachron has been sent back to the underworld and will no longer hunt you”. “Is that it?”, I asked as I giggled in excitement. “Yes, you’re free forever”. “So ...uhm... we no longer need these?”, Charlotte asked while touching the necklace around her neck. “Of course, you don’t need those anymore. I’d like to have them back,”. “Yes ma’am”, we said as he pulled the necklace and handed them over to Mag.
We thanked her for her kind gesture and returned home.
Days, weeks, and months passed, and we didn’t experience any such disturbance. We were indeed free from Zachron. It’s been years ever since and we haven’t experienced any nightmare or paranormal visit.
Two weeks after our final visit to Mag, we decided to pay her a visit to thank her for her kind gestures. We got there and surprisingly couldn’t find the shop. It was almost like it never existed. We asked several people around, but they said there was never any shop that fit the description we gave. It was a weird experience. We gave up searching for the shop and headed home. As we walked past the street, a woman who liked like she was in her mid-fifties walked past us and spoke the words “what answers do ye seek”. We turned around to look at her, but she was nowhere to be found. Almost like we had hallucinated her. That line sounded like the one written on the shop- It was Mag for sure.

Walking in, we saw that there were several people in the shop whom Mag had to attend to, we waited for a few minutes before our turn came. We were last in line.

“You girls look like you’ve been sleeping well lately”. “Yes, ma’am it’s been nice but last night was different”. We explained the event of the previous night to her, after which she took a deep breath. “I didn’t think it would come to this”. She paused for a few seconds and continued. “Looks like we have no choice but to exorcise this demon and…”. “Exorcism?”, Charlotte and I cut in before she could finish her sentence. We had only seen it in movies, and it was the creepies thing ever with the victim barely surviving. “It’s much easier than you think. We’re going to send Zachron back to where he came from, and he wouldn’t disturb you ever again”.
We took a deep breath in relief as we heard those words. She led us to the dark room she had led us to the first time we came for help, except the room looked a bit different this time. The broken table had been replaced, the candles around the table and chair were no longer there and the room looked more spacious. It was probably an optical illusion. “Have your seat”, she said as she walked out of the room via another door. She came back a few minutes later with two other men in black robes and a cape over their head.
“Let’s finish this”.
A young lady came into the dark room with a black Goat which she pulled by means of a rope. “Here it is”, she said as she walked in, dragging it along. On her left hand was something wrapped in a red piece of clothing which one of the men collected from her while the other collected the goat and tied it to a corner, after which she left the room.
“Ma’am…what’s the goat for?”, I asked as I had no idea what was going on. “Patience is a virtue, my daughter. You’d understand soon”, she said and signalled us to join her as she sat on the floor close to where the goat was tied. We both sat with her, and the robed men joined us. We sat in a circle. I sat at Mag’s left while Charlotte sat at her right and the robed men followed suit.
As we sat, Mag picked up a chalk and drew the star of David on the floor within the candles and lit them. “The instruction is simple”, she said while lighting the candles. “We are going to summon Zachron. Once the demon has entered me, place my hand on the goat and it will be passed into it after which we kill it and send it back to hell”. “This is scary”, I thought about what could possibly happen if we a made mistake.
She spoke in a strange language and one of the men responded the same way. He unwrapped the red piece of clothing. It was a small shiny dagger with a tapered blade which they gave to her. She collected the dagger, raised it slightly above her head and chanted some strange words for a few seconds while Charlotte and I looked at each other in a creepy way. She kissed the knife, placed it in front of her and stretched her hands forward. We all held hands and began the summoning.
Mag chanted some incantations with her eyes closed and the men followed suit. “This is weird, I whispered to Charlotte as I looked at her in a creepy way while the chants began to increase. The robed man by my left looked at Charlotte and I “Spirit of the dead come upon my soul. We must recite it together. Right now!”
“Spirit of the dead come upon my soul”, “Spirit of the dead come upon my soul”. “Spirit of the….”. We recited it continuously while Mag chanted uncontrollably and swung her head in the left and right direction as if she was in a trance. We chanted over and over until she began to scream loudly.
All of a sudden, the surface before us where the star of David was drawn began to crack open little by little until a large stream of fire suddenly burst out and went up towards the ceiling. The sight was terrifying. It was a demon with large horns and razor-sharp teeth wrapped in fire. Almost like its body was made of fire. I was terrified.
I pulled my hands off out of fear and was about to jump off my seat when the men shouted “Don’t be afraid. Continue reciting”. “Oh god this is scary as hell”. We recited for a few more minutes with fear written all over me and Charlotte when the demon suddenly came back down and began to hover in a circle directly before us. Almost like it was scanning our faces. It stooped before Mag and rushed towards into her through her eyes, nose, and mouth. She must have been expecting it as she didn’t resist but let it in willingly. It took about thirty seconds for the demon to get into her completely. While this happened, the room began to shake as if a mini earthquake was happening and the candles before us went off as they got tilted.
Loud laughter in a lady’s voice was heard all around the room. We began to look around the room in fear. The curtains on each end of the room began to move on their own as if something was walking through them from end to end. The laughter continued for seconds, and strange looking women with black cloaks on them appeared all around the room. They were pale all from head to toe and were transparent as we could see through them. “They’d suck your soul if you come in contact with them”, said one of the men as both Men got up from their seats and faced them with confidence.

She pulled me out of the bathroom and wrapped a towel around me. In her hand was the necklace Mag had given us- my necklace.
She had come into the room to pick her pause when she saw my necklace on the bed side cabinet, She must have sound of struggles and splashes which made her come up to the bathroom. Phew! “Lucky me”, I thought as I wiped the water off my hair and sat on the bed. “You’re being too comfy I guess”, she said looking at me firmly. “It was a mistake”. “Yeah, a mistake but you could have died”.. “I know I know. Thanks for saving my life”. “Be careful next time”. she said as she handed me the necklace and walked out of the room.
Zachron was probably waiting for the slightest opportunity to strike, and I had given it a chance by accident. I had to be more careful so I wouldn’t fall victim.
Another night Another terror!
Charlotte and I bade our parents and siblings goodnight as we walked down the hall into our room. We had watched Tv until a little past midnight and decided it was time to go to bed when an unimaginable event occurred.
The room suddenly began to rattle slowly and steadily. It got louder per second and was accompanied by a heavy wind which scattered everything in its path. The wind rushed in slowly and with full force which made the content of the bed side cabinet fly in all direction. The Vase on the table fell out and the table rattled on the spot.
The wind was accompanied by a creaking sound, and strange chants were suddenly audible as if a lot of people were talking at once. It was like in the movies when a demon was being summoned. It was a man’s voice, a woman’s voice, and all sort of voices- soft. thick and thin. It was terrifying.
We shook in fear as we held each other closely and moved up to the corner of the bed.
The storm continued and we could hear heavy footsteps all over. As we observed the table was suddenly flipped. The chair by the table floated for a few seconds and was smashed against the door with full force. An invisible force was right there, we could feel it. The door was being smashed continuously against the door and the shoes at one corner of the room begun floating around. We observed that regardless of the violence, whatever was responsible didn’t come close to us. The necklace Mag had given to us was protecting us. This made us feel a bit confident.
The heavy smashing continued. The door handle was ripped out, flower vase smashed against the wall, fluorescent bulbs shattered, and table flipped.
After about five minutes of madness, the door to my room flipped open. The screeching and chanting stopped instantaneously. Standing right there was my mom and siblings! “What have you done?”, Mom screamed as she observed the abomination that was my room. She turned around and left in anger. She came back a few seconds later with my dad.
“It’s not what you think….”, we said as we tried explaining but they weren’t willing to listen. “Look, you girls are gown up and you need to start acting it”, he said firmly and continued. “You destroy everything and blame it on spirits? That’s messed up”. I could hear the anger in his voice. I was terrified as I had not heard my dad sound that way in a long time. “You’re both grounded”, he said as he turned around and returned to his room angrily. Mom took a deep breath “clear your mess”, she said and left.
We stayed awake all night while clearing our mess and putting the room back in order. It was our mess. We fixed the curtain up the rail, disposed the broken vase. The doorknob had been destroyed and needed to be replaced. The wooden table had been badly damaged. We cleared our mess and off to bed we went, sour and unhappy.
We couldn’t wait till daybreak to report the night’s ordeal to Mag. Unfortunately, we were f=grounded hence we had to wait till our parents went to their respective place of work before planning our escape.
It was a few minutes past 10 am, Charlotte and I decided it was time to leave. We had to go out of the house via our bedroom window so we could evade my brothers. We had observed them and saw that they glued to the TV. Charlotte went ahead of me, and I followed immediately. As soon I jumped out the window, Jack came along- my youngest brother. “Filthy coincidence”, I said as he approached us smiling as if he had won a jackpot. “I’m telling mom and dad”, he said and was about to walk away when I grabbed him by the arm. “Come on Jack, you don’t have to”. “You know that jar of candy in your room, I want half of it”, he said with a large smile. “You know that’s not possible”, I replied.
He laughed in a very weird way and walked away without giving a response. “He’s such a terrorist”, I thought as I ran after him and held him back. “What again? I’m simply minding my business until you pulled me in. Now you won’t let me leave”. “Let’s give him what he wants”, Maurice said and continued. “We give you half of it and you keep your mouth closed?” “Sure deal”. “Alright, it’s all yours”. He ran into the house in celebration as he heard those words. “Only half", I shouted. “Let’s hope he heard the last part”, Maurice said smiling.
We got rid of my brother and off we went.
We took a deep breath as we waked off the lawn into the street. It was a twenty minutes’ walk as usual. We got to the shop and walked in with confidence unlike the first time.
Walking in, we saw that there were several people in the shop whom Mag had to attend to, we waited for a few minutes before our turn came. We were last in line.

Continuation story..... from **Some Horror Story IV** https://read.cash/@Kristofferquincy/some-horror-story-iv-44048445
Come quickly she said as she bent down and reached for the Ouija board. We dashed across the room to where she was and did the same. While Charlotte and were shivering and our hearts were beating fast, I noticed Madam Mag was calm as if nothing had happened. I have no idea what transpired between her and the monster as it was all in a strange language. But I was confident that we were making progress.
We all placed our hands over the counter and dragged it to the word ‘goodbye’ as she chanted once more. She hadn’t finished with her chants when the candles suddenly turned on and the room became lit.
“The demon was very pissed. You girls must have done something to invoke its wrath”, Mag said as she looked at us with all seriousness. “But we haven’t done anything wrong”, we said. “Maybe someone is after us and is using the demon to haunt us”. “What about the nightmares and visits will it stop?”, Charlotte asked. “I can’t take it anymore and I don’t want to die”, she said as she shivered at a spot and tears rolled down her eyes. I hugged her and tried to calm her down. I was equally scared but was simply hiding it. “Don’t worry my children, you’re in safe hands” she said and led us out of the room into the main room. She asked us to sit as she walked across the room and opened a transparent glass cabinet.
“These are for you. They will protect you from the demon”, she said as she showed us some chains in her hands. He chains looked creepy like the one on her neck, except that the skulls were smaller and smaller neck size. She spoke some words to the chains and they both transformed to some fancy chain. I wondered how she did it. She was a sorcerer after all or perhaps a witch. I didn’t know how to classify her. She handed them over to us and gave the instructions “put them around your neck at all times. Do not remove it no matter what especially when you’re alone. The demon is very angry and is not ready to let go. This is the only way you can escape its wrath”.
Charlotte and I put the necklace around our necks and thanked her. Ma’am…uhm…how much do we have to pay?" “No… No, you don’t have to. Consider this a gift from me to you”, she said as she smiled and bade us goodbye.
We held hands as we traced our way back home. It was a long way from home. We got home after walking for about twenty minutes and said hi to our siblings. We were livelier than the usual that evening as we had confidence that whatever was coming for us wouldn’t be able to touch us. We were no longer scared of going to bed. We looked forward to night-time so we could both take note of whatever was going to happen in a bid to give Madam Mag feedback.
We both slept soundly that night without any form of disturbance. Several nights passed and there was no visit from the monster. It was perfection.
“Looks like things are back to normal”, I thought as I entered the bathroom. Charlotte had dressed up before hand and waited for me in the living room. We were prepping to go shopping downtown. I had pulled the necklace unconsciously while entering the bathroom and stepped into the bathtub which was half filled with water.
I was about to begin my business when I suddenly heard footsteps approaching. I Initially thought it was Charlotte, but the footsteps got louder and approached the bathroom. As the steps became louder, I began to hear loud screeches on the wall like a massive fingernail was being scratched against the wall, It was so loud that I had to cover my ears.
As I laid in the tub, the shower turned itself on which was very creepy. I stretched my hand and turned it off while I remained in the tub, trembling. The tap turned itself on as soon as I turned off the tap. As I stretched my hand to turn it off, the light flickered, and a loud footstep was heard approaching the bathroom accompanied by a creepy laughter. It got louder per second. I was put my hands on both sides of the tub and was about to pull myself out when I felt a hand grab me from behind into the tub. It pulled me into the water and was trying to drown me.
I struggled with whatever it was and tried to pull myself out, but it was stronger and pressed me further. I struggled for some seconds and eventually gave up. I was beginning to drown when someone suddenly pulled me out of the water. It was Charlotte. She pulled me out of the bathroom and wrapped a towel around me. In her hand was the necklace Mag had given us- my necklace.

Mag stretched both her hands towards us “give me your hands”. We stretched both our hands towards her. She held my left hand since I sat by her right and held Charlotte’s right since she was by her left. As we held hands, she closed her eyes and began to chant in some strange language, perhaps Greek or Latin. She chanted for about thirty seconds while we watched. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at us strangely. “Now listen carefully, we are going to summon Zachron”, Mag said. “Zachron? Who’s Zachron?”, Charlotte and I asked as we had no idea.
“You are being terrorized by Zachron, a not so powerful demon. It feeds on your fear and grows powerful until it can feed on your soul. We are going to summon him and ask, him to stop”, she said as she looked at us firmly. Charlotte and I both took a deep breath as we heard those words. We were frightened. So Zachron is gonna be in this room with us? I thought to myself. I was scared but summoned courage. “Let’s do this and send him back to where he belongs”, I said with false confidence.
Madam Mag placed her hand on the Ouija board before us and looked at us firmly. “The instruction is simple…”, she said and explained everything we needed to know. Our hands shivered as we listened to the instructions. We knew how it worked since we had seen more than enough horror movies depicting its usage, but we had never tried it on our own. “Let us begin”.
We took a deep breath and began to move our hands over the pointer in unison while pushing it in the desired direction. The words we wanted to speak was communicated using the Ouija board. We moved the pointer in a circular pattern around the board as we chanted the words “spirits nearby show thyself”. “Spirits nearby show thyself”. As we chanted the words the third time, we suddenly felt a heavy wind rush into the room. As it rushed in, all the candles went off and the room became dark.
“It has begun”, said Madam Meg as Charlotte and I looked around frightened.
A heavy wind rushed into the room and the candles suddenly went off. We began to hear strange sounds like creaking of woods and loud bangs from a distance as if several furniture was colliding. The door to the room began to vibrate heavily as if someone or something was trying to force it open from behind. We were scared and began to shiver when Meg said, “don’t be scared”, while looking at us firmly.
We summoned courage and maintained our seats with our hands still on the Ouija board. “A loud and evil laughter came along. “ha-ha, who dares summon me?”, were the words we heard from a distance. “Are you Zachron”, Mag asked with confidence while looking straight ahead as if it was right in front of her. The pointer on the Ouija moved to the ‘YES’ at the top right corner. “What do you want from them”, she asked, and the pointer moved once more while stopping over certain letters which we read as “THEIR SOUL IS MINE”.
Charlotte and I began to sweat profusely at this point and our legs were wobbly with fear. “No, you can’t have them”, Mag said and continued “I want you to leave them alone and go back to where you came from”. The pointer moved once more and stopped over the words “NO”. Immediately this happened, Mag removed the chain around her neck, wrapped it around her hands and began to chant like she had done earlier. As she did, a heavy wind came in once more and the room began to shake. We could feel the earth moving beneath us as if an earthquake was happening.
We began to hear very loud footsteps which approached us and began louder per second. Charlotte and I were terrified and held each other tight as we began to shiver on our seats. The table before us rattled and the seats began to vibrate. “I command you to leave them alone, Mag said and continued chanting. “haha haha, they are mine”, a very strange and thick voice responded. Its voice sounded like that of many people who spoke at once. The shaking increased and the room felt like it was about to collapse. Charlotte and I jumped out of our seat and struggled to the wall for support. We were frightened and had no say in what was happening.
As the loud voice continued to laugh, Charlotte and I began to plead, “Please... please leave us alone we didn’t do anything wrong”. “Silence”, the strange voice said in a loud tone and laughed maniacally. Our plea was a vain effort as the evil laughter continued. The table at the centre of the room suddenly began to rattle speedily and broke into two which sent the Ouija board flying.
Madam Mag stood up and pointed the chain in our direction as though there was something around us that she could see but we couldn’t. She began to move towards us and chanted for minutes. After about three minutes of chanting, the quake stopped, and the whirlwind disappeared.

Charlotte and I both screamed loudly from our sleep. We narrated to each other what had happened, and it turned out that we had the same dream. It was terrifying. We expected my parents were going to come rushing towards us, but they didn’t. Perhaps they didn’t hear us or maybe they had had enough and decided not to bulge.
I looked at the bed side clock, it was 3 am. The exact time the events took place each night. We needed to do something fast. We decided we were going to seek for answers on our own the following day. What we were going through wasn’t fair and it needed to stop.
Daybreak came and we took a walk out of the neighbourhood in search of answers. We needed anything, a witch, a wizard or a sorcerer, anyone who could help us out. We asked for directions several times as we took a long walk down the road into an unknown destination. We were directed to a store at the far end of the adjacent drive. It was about a half hour walk from home.
It was a store with a small entrance and a placard above with the words “answers that ye seek…”, written on it. It seemed weird but it was the least of my problem as we had come for something greater. We walked in through the small entrance and met a middle-aged woman sitting standing close to the door and ushering us in as if she had been expecting us. She was about five feet and a few inches tall. She wore a long skirt and had a red scarf on her head. Around her neck was a creepy looking chain which has several small around it and a bigger one at the centre which dropped down to her chest.
“Uhm… Hi. I’m Annie, this is my cousin Charlotte. We uhm...”, I stammered out of fear as I didn’t know where to begin and we were in the creepiest place ever. On the wall of the room were skulls of several animals, large candles in various colours, small round pots with red piece of clothing tied around them and many more. It was enough reason for me to be scared. Charlotte cut in “we’re here for…”, “I know why you’re here”, the woman responded. We were both shocked as we heard those words but dared not talk back out of fear of the unknown.
“You can call me Mag. Please follow me”, she said as she walked through an entrance which led to an even larger room. We thought it was a small store but there was more waiting for us. As we followed her, we looked around and that saw several skulls were hung on the wall. Skulls looking resembling that of a Man, birds, wild beast, and some strange looking skull like that of an alien as seen in movies. It was so unreal. We were scared but there was no going back.
She led us through a narrow hall till we got to a large and fairly lit room. There were several candles in the room which formed a large circle. In the circle was a round table and three chairs around it. I guess she was right when she said she had been expecting us.
“Please sit”, she said as she walked to a cabinet at one end of the room and took a box of matches. Mag lit the candles and joined us at the table. In her hand was a folded rectangular cardboard-like material which she unfolded as she sat. It was a Ouija board. It was rectangular board with the alphabets A to Z written on it and beneath the letters was the word “goodbye” all written in capital letters. The top right corner had the words “yes” and the top left had the words “No”. On the board was a triangular pointer with a transparent circle in top through which the letters on the Ouija board could be seen and read.
Charlotte and I both looked each other in the eye as though we had been thinking the same thing. We had seen a Ouija board several times in horror movies, but it was our first time of seeing it in real life. As soon as Mag sat down, Charlotte broke the silence. “I’ve seen this in movies. Are we going to summon a demon? I’m scared”. “You have no reason to be scared. Do what I say, and you shall receive the answers that ye seek”, Mag responded. “Answers that ye seek? It’s finally making sense”.

Continued from **Some Horror story!** https://read.cash/@Kristofferquincy/some-horror-story-890b37eb
Due to the constant nightmares and paranormal visits, I developed fear of darkness and had to put the light son while I slept. It didn’t make things better because each time the figure came, the lights always went off on its own.
During summer holiday, my favourite cousin Charlotte came over to spend some time with us. We spent most of our time together and could tell each other anything but I couldn’t tell her what I was going through out of fear of not being believed.
One night Charlotte and I both slept off while we were watching Tv in my room when the usual happened. I tried to reach for Charlotte, but it was the same old story. My hands were heavy, and I couldn’t speak. It came closer to me, and I noticed I began to float slightly above my bed. The entire room began to shake, and the bed side cabinet began to rattle at a spot and suddenly the vase on it, including the wooden chair all began to float and moved around the room as if a mini tornado was happening. The books on my table floated as well and were scattered all around the room. The strange figure was in front of me, but I felt as if something was choking me. I began to cough loudly when suddenly, the dark figure vanished, and I was free.
My mom walked in a few seconds later “Annie, are you okay” she said as she sat in my bed. “Yes Mom, I’m okay” I replied. “But I heard you coughing loudly which is why I’m here” she said. “Nothing mom, I’m only thirsty” I said. She hugged me after which we both walked to the dining room. I had a glass of water, and she went back to her room. I couldn’t tell her what just happened since she wasn’t going to believe me anyway. It was all science to her.
I went back to my room and received the shock of my life. The scattered books and chair had been returned to its initial position. The bed side cabinet was unmoved, and the entire room was back to its initial state. This was on another level as I had bever experienced anything like it. There was no way anyone was going to believe me. Regardless of whether anyone believed or not, it was the truth, and nothing could change it. I am pretty sure this is not how sleep paralysis works because if it were this way then nobody would live beyond their teenage as it was too much to bear.
I didn’t wait till daybreak before waking Charlotte. “Charlotte, wake up, wake up”, I said as I tapped her gently until she woke up. “Hey Annie. What’s going on?” she said as she rubbed her hand over eyes and sat upright. I narrated my entire ordeal to her. “I was trying to reach for you, but I couldn’t move Charlotte”, I said as I explained what had happened. She opened her eyes wide in shock. I thought she wasn’t going to believe me initially until she said, “I’ve been experiencing the same thing for weeks!”
“Charlotte, for real?”, I asked as I was surprised by her words. “Yes, Annie” I’ve been going through the same thing for months. I thought it was just me. I had to leave home with the hope that it would stop but it didn’t”. I was shocked to hear that I wasn’t alone. She was shocked as well. She had also told her parents several times but since they didn’t believe, she had to stop trying to convince them like I did.
I was sixteen at the time while Charlotte was seventeen. Something out there was preying on us, and it wasn’t ready to let go. We decided we were going to find out what it was and stop it once and for all.
On a certain morning, my parents had gone to work, and my siblings were playing on the field while I and charlotte were alone indoor. While discussing in the living room, the vase on the centre table suddenly moved a few inches across and stopped. We opened our eyes wide in shock as we had never seen anything like it. It moved once more, feel off the edge of the table and shattered. We became frightened.
The Tv suddenly turned itself on. On it was two young girls who looked like younger versions of myself and Charlotte. They were playing in the field with the sun directly overhead and singing the nursery rhyme “you are my sunshine…my only sunshine” when a strange figure- tall, slender and without a face appeared.
The sun turned black, and darkness took over. He laughed hysterically while approaching them the little girls. Before the girls could run, he grabbed them, opened his mouth wide and devoured them. As he devoured them, he laughed at the top of his voice “hahaha”, and the entire room began to echo and vibrate heavily.
Charlotte and I began to tremble as it was the same figure that had always haunted us. While we were shaking at a spot, we tried to move but felt unusually heavy. The figure turned and looked towards us as though it could see us through the screen. He laughed and moved closer to the screen and suddenly stretched his hands out while holding both edges of the Tv. He stretched out his head out, and suddenly jumped out of the screen towards us at super speed. We both screamed at the top of our voice until I suddenly jumped out of bed still screaming. It was a dream.

Nine (9) amazing facts about dogs
11th of April 2022
Lead Image https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/furry-dog-smiling-with-tongue-out-picture-id1287452200?b=1&k=20&m=1287452200&s=170667a&w=0&h=1XDHJ1DNyzoZ1fellkNKHhmmORqx2Oqt-PSSFJ4eS50=
**1. Petting our dogs or just looking at them releases oxytocin**
Oxytocin also known as the love hormone is the same hormone that helps bond a mother and child. Studies have shown that there is an increase of oxytocin in both the dog and the owner after any interaction involving long gazes followed by stroking and cuddling. So, before thousands of years ago we fell in love and we're still in love.
**2. Ten thousand to one hundred thousand times more acute sense of smell**
Dogs can literally see through their nose. They experience the world by scent. Apart from explosives, drugs and so on, they can smell feelings and even ailments in humans from cancer to diabetes. They can even smell the past.
When you come back home and your dog sniffs you from head to toe it's because he wants to know where you've been and what you've been doing. Preventing it from sniffing someone or something he's interested in is like blindfolding in a way
**3. Dogs can sense the Earth's magnetic field**
Somewhere inside them, there is a hidden compass. Studies have shown dogs spin and turn before they relieve themselves because they prefer to excrete with their body aligned along the north-south axis they just don't like West alignment.
**4. More than twelve (12) separate muscles that control the movement of the ears**
They can locate a sound source in only six hundredths of a second by using their swivelling ears like radar dishes. They can perceive frequencies almost twice that of human ears and they can also hear sounds approximately four times farther away than humans.
One of the reasons they don't like the rain is that the amplified sound hurts their sensitive ears.
**5. Dogs dream just like we do**
During sleep, the brainwave patterns of dogs are similar to that of people. Dogs dream doggy things so pointers will point at dream birds, and Dobermans will chase dream burglars. My dog Apollo will steal dream food off the kitchen counter and eat it while crawling at imaginary dreamed predators... lol!
**6. The first sense a dog develops is the touch**
Puppies are born blind, deaf, and toothless, and their entire bodies are covered with nerve endings that are touch sensitive. While the puppy gains its sense of hearing and smell, it still relies heavily on touch throughout its entire life.
Each dog may have a different level of touch sensitivity thus assuming that any dog will respond positively to any touching in any part of its body is wrong and it can be the cause of many misunderstandings.
**7. One female Dog her mate and their offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in only six years which brings us to**
**8. Millions of Dogs’ populations**
They're estimated to be about 900 million Dogs (I don’t know anything, just speculating) in the world, 80% of which are free-range Street Dogs, and the numbers are rising.
**9. Fun fact about street dogs**
Street dogs adapts to the life on the streets. They have their routine just like us. They sleep in a place they consider home, wake up in the morning, go to work- look for food or go off to regular feeding spots where they meet the volunteers that feed them, come back home, go to sleep and so on.
When you see a stray dog walk as if he's going somewhere that's because he is really going somewhere. City strays even know how to wait for traffic lights to go green, how to walk on the sidewalks and so on.
The stray dogs in Russia have even mastered the complex Moscow subway system and literally commute every morning to get from their suburban places of living to the fat regions of Moscow Center. You must respect them and let them be. Dogs can live among us as civilians because that's what they have evolved to do.

Some Horror story!
10th of April 2022

My name is Annie, I’m 24. I used to have paranormal encounters when I was younger. I scream from my sleeps on most nights and was sometimes haunted by an unknown spirit in the form of a shadowy figure which took the shape of a Man.
My parents would have to rush down to my room on most nights due to my loud screams but each time I tell them what I had experienced they wouldn’t believe me. They claimed I was simply having a sleep paralysis. It was always sad because I feel like could have died on several occasions. Sharing my experience made me feel stupid each time since nobody believed me.
I couldn’t blame my parents for not believing me. Dad was a Physicist while Mom was a research scientist at the hospital. According to them, there was no such thing as the supernatural and that it was simply made up for the sake of movies and fairy tales. “There is always a scientific explanation”, Dad said on several occasions as I tried convincing him that my experience was real and wasn’t made up.
The encounters began when I was fifteen. I was asleep when night when I was suddenly awoken by several heavy footsteps as if people were running down the hall. It was a very big house hence our rooms were along a large hall with several rooms on both sides. At first, I thought it was my siblings running around as I was still dizzy, then I realised it was midnight, it didn’t make any sense for them to be running around by this time. I opened my eyes slowly and saw a giant shadowy figure the shape of a man a few inches away from my bed. It was so tall that its head was almost touching the ceiling. He was groaning loudly and walking slowly towards me with both hands stretched forward. I was terrified and began to shiver. My body shook with fear and my legs were wobbly. I tried to scream but my voice vanished instantaneously. He began to laugh loudly as my voice vanished and moved closer to me. No matter how hard I tried, my voice was gone, and nothing came through.
I tried moving my body to get out of bed, but it got worse from that point. I couldn’t move and my hands felt heavy as if extra weight was added. I felt as if something was pinning me down and I couldn’t move any part of my body. I was so terrified that tears began to drop from my eyes. I thought I was going to die and began to sweat massively. As the dark figure moved closer to me, I tried harder to scream but it was a vain trial. The strange figure got close to my bed and moved its head close to mine. It was a giant head but with no eye, nose, or mouth. It was plain darkness. It spoke with a thick and fearful voice… “I’m coming for you” and vanished immediately.
I regained my voice immediately and screamed on top of my voice... “Aargh!!!!” and continued to scream as I cried till my parents rushed into my room. I narrated my entire ordeal as they tried to calm me down and took me to their room. I spent the night in their room, but I stayed awake all night out of fear that the shadow man may return.
“It’s only a sleep paralysis” they said as I narrated my experience with tears all over me. I felt hurt that they didn’t believe me.
This event didn’t stop but continued for several nights. After several attempts to explain to my parents what I had been going through, they felt it was all made up and I was simply seeking attention. I was fifteen at the time, what attention could I be possibly seeking?
The constant reoccurrence of the strange event made me lose sleep as I was always awake all night out of fear that the strange figure would come back. I always ended up sleeping in class and my teacher Mrs. Tully became worried. I couldn’t tell her out of fear that she wouldn’t believe me and simply said I was having sleeping difficulty. My parents began to think I was going crazy and had to take me to the hospital for observation. The doctor said my brain waves activities were normal and prescribed some drugs that would allow me sleep well. I couldn’t risk dying hence I didn’t dare use those medications. Staying awake was my best bet to remaining alive. I eventually decided to stop telling them each time I had an encounter with the strange figure since it brought nothing but more pain.
On one occasion, from a strange dream where I was being chased by the same figure. I awoke suddenly with my heart beating fast and though it was over when the same monster came into my room laughing with a thick and loud voice as it came closer to me. It looked different this time. Unlike the previous visits where it was only a shadowy figure without a face, this time its eyes were visible. The room was dark, but I could see its eyes clearly as it was like a bright red ball which glowed in the dark. It didn’t groan this time but began to laugh as it approached me. I tried screaming as usual but couldn’t. I felt pinned to the bed as usual as it approached me. It moved close to me like it always did and uttered the statement “your soul is mine”. It vanished as soon as it said those words and vanished immediately. I cried and cried till tears dried from my eye. I couldn’t sleep anymore but sat up at one corner of my bed till daybreak. I was terrified.

Decided to write some random story tonight out of boredom... It's boring.. I know.. pardon me..

“Think, think. I need to think”, she told herself as she closed her eyes so she could take charge of her thought process and make a logical decision. She was getting calm, perhaps a solution would come through.
“Tony, where arm I”,
“You are in a cryogenic chamber”, Tony responded.
Of course, she knew where she was but was asking the wrong question.
“If I’m here it means I’m sick”. “Tony, can you diagnose what is wrong with me?”
“I can’t so that. My diagnostics system shutdown with system failure”.
“What is our current location”
“We are at” 8.78 degrees south and 124.5 degrees west”
“Tony, in English”, she said as she had no idea what this means. She wasn’t a mathematician or a physicist, there was no way to tell. She had no idea who she was.
“We are on the Pacific Ocean”
“Where are we going”, she asked
“We are not going anywhere” Tony responded.
“What do you mean?”
“We are not in motion, we stopped moving 72.30 hours ago”.
“Why did we stop moving”
“There was an accident. The ship sank and your pod fell into the ocean. We are eight hundred metres below sea level”.
“This must be some kind of joke; someone out there must be messing with me” she thought as she began to push the region above her. She couldn’t open it, it was locked. She had tried this several times already and it wasn’t working.
“If you’re out there, please let me out”, she said this several times as she screamed at the top of her voice as she had done earlier. After a few minutes, it dawned on her that she was alone. No one was coming.
“Tony, please do not lie to me”, she said with a firm voice. “Where am I, and how long have I been here?”
“I am not capable of lying. It is not a part of my…”,
“Just answer the question”, She cut him short as she was running out of patience.
“We are eight hundred meters beneath the Atlantic Ocean and have been here for seventy-two hours and thirty-two minutes”.
She couldn’t believe her ears. This must be a bad dream and she wanted out.
“I don’t believe this Tony. I don’t believe this”.
“Would you like a view of your surrounding?”
She responded quickly with a “yes, please”.
A small screen appeared on the surface directly above her without ta display. It was simply blank.
“I can’t see anything, Tony”.
“Activating night vision”, Tony responded.
The screen was on but the environment outside the pod was dark. Night vision was activated, and she could see her environment clearly. She observed several sponge gardens with species of glass sponges she had never seen before. She wouldn’t have remembered anyway
“Unlike other sponge species, these sponges were made of silica instead of carbonate. They are believed to live for up to one thousand five hundred years and are...”
“What time is it?”, she cut Tony short as the information was unnecessary.
“It is 9.23 am on Tuesday”
“What date”
“The 24th of June 2025”
“2025…. hmmm”, she thought as though she had remembered something.
“If it is 9.23 am, why is it dark?”
“At eight hundred metres, the water is cold, and light is unable to reach this depth”, Tony responded.
“Warning, Oxygen at 15 percent”, Tony notified her.
“No, No, No, this can’t be happening”. She was beginning to lose her cool. “I need to get out of here”, she said as she hit hard once more. She felt like she was in a loop of unending questions and answers, but without any progress.
“At this rate, your oxygen will be depleted in forty-eight minutes. I need to administer a sedative so your Oxygen will last longer”, Tony said.
“I don’t care anymore, and I don’t want a sedative… just let me out”, she said firmly.
“I can’t do that, or you’d die. The pressure of the….”,
“Tony, open the door”, she cut him short. She didn’t care. All she wanted was to be out of this prison.
“Attempting to open door pod”, a female voice said in a robotic voice…
She took a deep breath out of relief. She was finally getting out and nothing could stop her. She was willing to find out if she was really at the bottom of the ocean. She didn’t care anymore. She wanted to be free even if her life was in question.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep.....

Flash point Paradox
9th of April 2022
Lead Image https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/different-sphere-other-side-of-border-picture-id1297426893?b=1&k=20&m=1297426893&s=170667a&w=0&h=GCxvnUyMRq62M4KjvqcgNPwVsYHHq1jvlZ157-IRYf4=
**Fermi Paradox**
A lot of you are probably familiar with the Fermi paradox. Named after Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who is famous for creating the first nuclear reactor, this paradox seeks to answer the question- where are the aliens? Given that our star and Earth are part of a fairly young planetary system compared to the rest of the universe, and that it’s possible for a civilization to achieve interstellar travel during this time. It seems we should have been visited by some form of extra-terrestrial intelligence by now.
Some say it’s not a real paradox, because we can only guess that there is intelligent life out there. But the Drake Equation is used in this so-called paradox to estimate the number of possible civilizations in our galaxy.
The Drake Equation uses seven variables to estimate the number of detectable civilizations in the Milky Way. This gave us an idea that there could be millions of Earth-like worlds with civilizations out there. But this was back in 1961, and no one knew of any worlds orbiting stars other than our own. It was only recently that we got a good idea.
In 2020, astronomers using data from the Kepler Space Telescope found there are more than 300 million worlds with similar conditions to Earth scattered throughout the Milky Way. The analysis concluded that roughly half of the galaxy’s sun-like stars host rocky planets in habitable zones where liquid water could be on the surface.
In fact, planets are extremely common and outnumber all the stars in our galaxy. And very soon, the James Webb Space Telescope will be headed into space to look for new potentially habitable worlds.
Now that we know how many worlds there are, and how many possibilities there could be advanced civilizations, the question remains- **Why is the universe silent?**
Maybe we’re about to find out soon as technology advances, or perhaps we've already been visited by some far-away civilization, and just don’t know it yet. There have been many unexplained UFO sightings recently, and some believe extra-terrestrials are already here. Solid proof of that would put an end to this paradox.
**The Bootstrap Paradox**
The Bootstrap Paradox is a paradox of time travel which questions how something that is taken from the future and placed in the past could ever come into existence in the first place. It’s a common theme used by writer's inspiring plotlines in many science-fiction films such as the Bill and Ted movies, Terminator, Doctor Who, and so on...
Let’s look at one of the examples of this paradox. Imagine that you are a time traveller, but before you go on an excellent adventure, you go into a bookstore and buy a copy of Hamlet, written by Shakespeare. You then travel back in time to London during the Elizabethan Era and give the book to Shakespeare. William S. then copies the book and claims it as his own work. Centuries go by, and during this time, Hamlet is printed and reproduced countless times until a copy of it ends up back in the same bookstore that you bought it from. The question then becomes- **who wrote Hamlet?**
**The Grandfather Paradox**
This is another famous paradox, which involves you going back in time to ‘take out’ your grandfather… by that I mean, erasing his existence. I know everyone here loves their grandparents, but this is only an example.
Once again, you are a time traveller, and you pop back in time to do the deed and erase your grandfather’s existence. You then return to present time, but the thing is, with your grandfather gone, your father wasn’t born, and you now realize you never even existed. Everything about you has now been erased, including all your family, friends, all your possessions, and your history. So, you wouldn’t have been born in the first place, so it would be impossible to do this.
Now some scientists believe that if this were to happen, you would have now created an alternate timeline or even entered a parallel universe
**Taking Out Hitler Paradox**
Another interesting variant to the grandfather paradox, going back in time to eliminate Hitler to stop World War II. This would have some interesting consequences.
Let’s say you have a shiny time machine, and you’ve got a plan to go back before things get out of control during the war and put things right.
The problem now is that the action removes any reason to travel back in time, along with any knowledge that the reason to time travel back ever existed. Acting as a time traveling executioner simply creates a paradox, and along with the many worlds’ idea, traveling back in time might create a new timeline without der Führer, but the old timeline would also still exist. You might even create a new timeline that is even worse. **But what would happen if you sent something back through a wormhole?**
**Polchinski's Paradox**
The late, great Joseph Polchinski is the famous theoretical physicist who wrote the book on String Theory. But Polchinski also came up with a potentially paradoxical situation involving a billiard ball sent through a wormhole that travels back in time.
In this scenario, the billiard ball is fired into a wormhole at such an angle that, if it continues along the path, it will exit the wormhole in the past at the right angle to collide with its earlier self, thereby knocking it off course and preventing it from entering the wormhole in the first place. However, some physics students came up with solutions which avoid any inconsistencies by having the ball emerge from the future at a different angle than the one used to generate the paradox and deliver its younger self a glancing blow instead of knocking it completely away from the wormhole. A blow which changes its trajectory in the right way, so that it will travel back in time with the angle required to deliver its younger self this glancing blow. Now here is something that will make you think about reality differently...
**Observer's Paradox**
The observer's paradox is something very strange indeed, and of all the bizarre facts of quantum theory there are fewer stranger than Schrödinger’s famous fable about a cat that is neither alive, nor deceased. For the record, this is a thought experiment only, and no animals have ever been harmed.
The paradox describes a cat that is locked inside of a windowless box along with some radioactive material, a Geiger counter, a hammer, and a container of deadly poison. The radioactive material has a 50% chance to decay. If the Geiger Counter records an emitted radioactive particle, it then triggers a hammer that smashes a vial of poison that will be fatal to the cat. However, you would not know if the cat was alive or deceased until you opened the box. And so, until the box was opened, the cat would be both alive and deceased at the same time. 'How is this possible', you ask?
This is because simply looking at matter actually changes the outcome of what happens to it. You can’t know something is there unless you see it.
You’re probably saying this whole thing is very strange. But consider another observer’s paradox called the double-slit experiment. It is the most famous physics experiment of all time.
**Double-slit experiment**
Imagine a wall with two slits in it, and then throwing tennis balls at the wall. Some of them will bounce off the wall, but some of them will travel through the slits. If there is a wall behind the first one with slits, some of the tennis balls that made it through will hit it.
If you mark where the tennis balls hit the second wall, you should expect to see two strips of marks roughly the same size as the slits. **Sounds very straightforward.**
But in the double slit experiment, something awfully strange happens when you shine a light through the slits. Light isn’t just a wave; it’s also a particle called a photon. So, if you shoot a single photon at the double slits, it forms an interference pattern on the back wall as if it is interfering with itself. It’s like the photon went through both slits at the same time. **But this is where it gets stranger.**
Simply by looking at the double-slit experiment, the behaviour of the photon changes, as if the photons are alive and know you are watching them!
This is known because if the experimenter tries to find out which slit the photon is going through, the interference pattern doesn’t show up at all. The bottom line is that observing a photon can change events that have already happened. How is that possible? No one has figured it out yet.
**The Black Hole Information Paradox**
One of the biggest paradoxes in physics is the black hole information paradox - a puzzle that results from the combination of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Calculations show that physical information could permanently disappear into a black hole, allowing physical states to devolve into the same state. But this is controversial because quantum mechanics states that information can never be destroyed.
Let’s say you burned two different letters written on paper. Putting them back together from ash would be nearly impossible, but not entirely. The small differences in smoke, temperature, and the amount of ash would still retain information about the two different letters The problem with black holes is they suck things up and then, over a very, very long time, radiate what they have swallowed back out in the form of Hawking Radiation.
Unfortunately, unlike the smoke, temperature, and ash from burning a letter, Hawking’s radiation contains no information about what the black hole ate. This is because all Hawking radiation is the same, which implies that black holes destroy information about the universe. **So, do evaporating black holes really destroy information, or does information escape as the black hole evaporates?**
A new generation of physicists say that information does indeed escape a black hole by their radiation, and they have identified an invisible surface that lies inside a black hole's event horizon called the **‘quantum extremal surface’**. This surface appears to encode the amount of information that has radiated away from the black hole, evolving over the black hole's lifetime exactly as expected if information escapes. Apparently, something can escape a black hole. It’s a problem not completely solved yet and is a work in progress.

Thanks for the Birthday blessings!

My birthday, the 6th of April was the most boring day ever in the history of boring days. It's quite weird init. I intended to have some fun indoor and perhaps take myself out there, treat myself to everything I've been craving in the past few weeks and blah blah. Unfortunately, I couldn't as I've been on night duty since Sunday. Been staying awake all night long and wouldn't get to sleep until I get home around 7.30 or 8am. I shutdown as soon as I get home and wouldn't wake up until late afternoon or evening. It's been super stressful as I get to be in front of a screen all through the night while doing the needful. It's a lot of stress which I wouldn't like to talk about- necessary stress.
Same thing happened on the 6th. I basically stayed awake all night long and slept from 8am till 12pm, after which I wrote the article **Happy Birthday to me!** and went back to sleep. I slept all day long till past 5 pm and began to get dressed for work once more. It was really annoying that I slept throughout the day. Annoying but necessary. https://read.cash/@Kristofferquincy/happy-birthday-to-me-889fce1b
There was no cake, no ice-cream, pepper-soup or Hollandia yoghurt. There was no chicken either. I could have gotten these things for myself but sleep held me down with full force. I'm still on night duty and wouldn't be getting out of this routine until Sunday hence I'd have to wait till then before celebrating my birthday in my own little way. I'd take myself out and have some fun in my own way. The cinema should come in handy provided there is a popular and interesting movie worth watching.
Long story short- there was no birthday celebration as it was the most boring days in the history of days. Regardless of the birthday anomaly, I wanna say a thank you to everyone who said a happy birthday to me. Thanks for the birthday blessings, the wishes, the upvotes and the prayers.
I love you all so so much. The appreciation should be coming earlier but yesterday was on another level entirely. I was on bed all through the day as well and was exhausted from working all night. The stress will be over soon and I'd be back to myself again.
I wanna say a special thank you to peeps like my dear @Princessbusayo, Mr @Olasquare, the boss @King_Gozie, my beautiful @Ruffa, my very special and one and only @bmjc98, my baba @HappyBoy,the articulate @ARTicLEE, darling @sj0820, the crypto trader madam @Jane, fur-mom @JustMyRambles01, wonderful @Jelena, my big mom @Pachuchay, the stubborn brat @FashTioluwa, @Itsfarah, my one and only crush @Theblackdoll whom I'm hoping to meet one day, and @Ettel_123 who I searched for months before seeing her again, @francescawrites, @Apex_Thomas, @Sydney2, @Allboy, @Dreamboy, @Sonali, @Shohan431, @Ayaan258, @VinceCharlie, @pejudear whom I'm hoping to be friends with as I'm coming across her for the first time, @Shounenbat, @Dawn_Dii, @Kleah97, @DennMarc, @Lhes, @Winx1988, and so on.
I can't possibly mention everybody as it would make a terribly long list. I just wanna say a big thank you to you all. I love and I always will. I apologize for not replying to the birthday wishes due to reasons already mentioned above. I will reply everyone as soon as I can, while extending my appreciation as well!
It was a very boring day but what matters most is that I'm alive and I got a lot of peeps around me who care about my well being!

Several years ago, two people from different family backgrounds met on a Tuesday and fell in love. They got married and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl known as my sister. Five years passed and a beautiful son was born. That son is me- Kristoffer, and the rest is history. I was born today- several years ago. Celebration filled the air, joy filled my parents heart as a genius had just been born. A genius who is going to change the world in his own little way- Kristoffer Quincy.
Enough of fantasy land on a Wednesday morning. It's my Birthday today and I'm so excited. Regardless of the fact that It's simply gonna be a normal day like every other with me staring at my laptop screen majority of the time, I'm still excited. Being alive is enough reason to be glad considering the events in the world today. World, famine, hunger and blah blah. I must say that I'm grateful to be alive today.
It's been years of struggles and pain. A lot of unplanned circumstances, hurdles, challenges and frustration. Yet I keep overcoming and keep getting stronger through each phase. I remember being in the hospital more times than I can remember. Needles have pierced my skin many times, body fluids got in and a lot of pain has been felt from childhood. At some point I was well known by the hospital staff and they didn't need to search for my card since they already knew it off hand. Hashtag- I was their regular customer due to something called sickness.
If anyone was told I'd live up to this age today, they'd be in doubt. They'd expect I'd die during my childhood or teenage years. Surprisingly, I didn't, I got better. Now I barely visit the hospital more than once or twice in a year- a very great improvement from the initial. I got a lot of story to tell but I'd rather not spend time talking about the past and reminiscing on the old days.
I'm using this opportunity to wish myself a happy birthday. I wish myself Long life, prosperity, goodness, all round favour, wealth, success, sound health, financial stability, more BCH, more visit from @TheRandomRewarder, good news, opportunities, life changing connections and blah blah. And maybe a girlfriend could come in handy.. Lol!
I'm looking forward to receiving birthday gift from most of y'all. I want those BCH as birthday gift, I want cake, I want ice-cream and I want lots of goodies and unexpected surprises. I know I got peeps like @bmjc98, @Olasquare, @George_Dee, @JustMyRambles01, @HappyBoy, @Princessbusayo, who wouldn't always be there to give me a surprise. I look forward to whatever they got up their sleeves!

Barely one hour to my Birthday
Lead Image https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/birthday-cupcake-with-sparkler-and-falling-confetti-picture-id1315030969?b=1&k=20&m=1315030969&s=170667a&w=0&h=Z49tL-PhbFCY20Cy0KQzpHf_fK5opl5ednDQgCZ7ew4=
This article has a very direct title and I wouldn't waste time in getting into details. I sincerely wouldn't have remembered if my Best friend hadn't reminded me about three days ago. "Any preparation?", she asked and my response was "I got no idea what you're talking about", in a very sarcastic tone. I knew what she was talking about the instant she mentioned it. I wouldn't have remembered if she hadn't mentioned but I instantly looked to my calendar and kaboom saw that we were already in the month of April. My birth month!
My birthday is barely one hour to go and I can hardly stand the wait. Same way I could hardly stand the wait last December while Christmas approached. It's not like I got anything special planned. it's simply gonna be like every other day- a very normal day. The "normal-est" day in the history of days- if such grammar exists.
Surprisingly, a female friend called me a few minutes ago and said "happy birthday in advance". Damn! "You remember too?, I asked as I was surprised. Looks like I'm becoming popular among the ladies", I thought and smiled in a very evil way. Lol! I was surprised because I'm not one to care about birthdays as I barely pay attention to such things. In fact, I don't tell my friends "happy birthday" not because I do not care but because it doesn't matter. A lot of peeps will already say happy birthday to them hence mine will be basically insignificant.- my thoughts are considered subjective. It's just a day duurh! A reminder that you're getting closer to the grave per second- a very frightening reminder.
Regardless of whether I'm getting closer to the grave or not, I'd like to say that it's barely one hour to my birthday- the 6th of April. At the time of writing this, It's 10.47 pm over here, but for those in the Philippine, it's already 5 am or so, which means they're already on the 6th. regardless of time zone, I'd be glad if you'd join me in celebrating years of struggles, pain, success, Joy and Yada Yada.
I'm glad to be alive- who wouldn't be? With everything going on in the world, being alive is a privilege which I'd not take for granted . I appreciate every moment that passes, time shared, conversations, struggles, achievements and all that.
I really don't know what to say, I just wanna say that I'm glad to be alive. All thanks to God. Life has really been unfair to me in a lot of ways but I kept on pushing through and here I am today stronger than ever with a lot of achievements at hand. Though I'm still struggling with a lot of things- depression, mental stress, finance and blah blah, Yet I've got every reason to be grateful to God!
There's gonna be no cake, no ice-cream and no celebration. I'd simply wake up tomorrow like it's a normal day hoping to be surprised by whoever or whatever cares about me. I don't think I have anyone that does so far apart from m best friend. The rest is history. Happy birthday to myself in advance!

April BCH goals; Bitcoin is Cash
5th of April 2022

I realise that I haven't written BCH goals in a while. The last time I did was probably January or February which is quite strange. It isn't a deliberate act. I've simply been busy with a lot of things that I barely have time to think. I've mostly been like a dog chasing cars which if it caught one wouldn't know what to do with it but simply do things. I must confess that I've been that way lately and it's really telling on my progress all round.
Being active on read.cash and on noise.cash has always been a walk down the park. I find myself addicted to both platform that I spend most part of my day on both platforms while in my in-house office, taking a walk, talking to friends. In fact, I check out both platforms first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. It's another level of addiction entirely as @TheRandomRewarder has been always there to say hi regardless of its constant fluctuation.
Unfortunately, for for the past one month or so, I've been so busy with stuffs- building my finance and some other personal shit which have been taking a lot of my time. I've barely been able to concentrate on one thing at a time such that I've simply been writing articles and interacting on read.cash and noise.cash on autopilot without actually paying attention to certain things.
For instance, It wasn't until yesterday I realised I haven't sponsored anyone or renewed any sponsorship in a in along time, I haven't written monthly goals in a while, and I barely take time to interact with newbies anymore except those on my notification. It's a real deviation and a far cry from my usual routine which I find very strange. I no longer note of my monthly earnings anymore unlike previously where I'd write about it not as a means of showing off but a way of encouraging newbies to not give up but continue doing what they know how to do best.
I do not intend to beat myself over my flaws since it didn't happen for no reason. I only intend to point out certain setbacks which have come to my notice in the past few days. Since the setbacks have been observed and my time table has been reset to fit all level of busy-ness, I decided to set goals for the month of April which I am going to follow strictly hashtag discipline.
Sponsor new peeps and renew sponsorship
Sponsoring people is something I've been doing since my first month on read.cash. It's been fun seeing my picture on a lot of people's pages and articles. A stylish means of advertisement. Yes, that's what it is. Unfortunately in about two months or so I haven't renewed any of my old sponsorships or sponsored any new person.
It wasn't a deliberate act as I've simply been busy with a lot of things that I didn't put it into notice. Plus, the initially January/February dip messed with my finance and didn't allow me do the needful as at when due. In the long run, my sponsorship renewal schedule became messed up and down it went. I didn't realise this until a few days back when I went through my profile and realised I had not paid any sponsorship in a while. Now that I've seen this, I'm going to begin renewal as soon as possible.
Onboard new peeps to the world of BCH
I have onboarded a number of peeps to the world of BCH hashtag read.cash and noise.cash in the past. It was a wonderful experience as I took time to explain the concept of BCH and how it defeats BTC and other cryptocurrencies due to negligible transaction fees and faster transaction. I will continue to do so and will double up by bringing in about five to ten people into both platforms in the month of April.
Guess what? April is already here and the onboarding begin now. Bitcoin cash is the future of money- Bitcoin is cash. Hence mass adoption can only be attained by spreading the word and bringing new peeps into the BCH community.
Improve my interaction
As already mentioned above, my interaction reduced drastically in the past week due to being busy with a lot of things at once. I'm writing two stories at once- a 150,000 word long horror story and a 60,000 word long sci-fi story. The horror story isn't a single story but an anthology of short horror stories since it's my favourite genre.
I must say that the process has been both exciting and stressing as my imagination has been running wild with new ideas plus loads of sleepless nights and having to write about 5ooo+ words everyday to increase productivity and enable completion in the shortest possible time.
The sleepless nights have been interfering with my productivity during the day as I'm barely awake. I simply write my article while on auto-pilot and only read one or two articles after which I'd drift off, wake up a few hours later and interact briefly on noise.cash. It's a far cry from my usual interactivity which is a bit disappointing. It feels like a major setback which I decided I'd begin to work on as from today. I'm setting a target of reading and interact with about ten to fifteen articles daily. My tight schedule exists but I'd push through it.
Observe my earnings
It's been a culture here on read.cash for peeps to show their monthly earning at the end of each month. Not as a means of showing off but a stylish way of encouraging people. especially newbies to put in more effort and level up their game. It's a game after all, the BCH game. I'm also among those who have imbibed this culture and does analysis of earnings and achievements of the previous month at the beginning of the new month.
Unfortunately, I haven't done this in months. @TheRandomRewarder has been nice but has not been nice enough for reasons unknown. Not an excuse anyway, earnings are still earnings. I decided I'd continue with this routine and will not only take note of my earnings but will also observe the slightest change in the number of my subscribers, audience, sponsors and so on.
I look forward to earning more than my usual in the month of April provided @TheRandomRewarder treats me well and doesn't continue to frustrate my effort like it has been doing in the past few months. 0.5 BCH in the month of April is not too bad init!
Conclusion
Regardless of my busy schedule, I'd make out time to continue doing what I know how to do best. I will continue to write, interact, make new friends, have some fun and onboard new peeps to the world of BCH. I wouldn't forget about the sponsorship this time- look out, I'd be sponsoring new peeps randomly and you may be on my sponsors list. More BCH in the month of April- Bitcoin is cash!

I've been terribly busy in the past few days that my interaction here on read.cash has recently gone down the drain.
Life is so tough that when you think you've got clearance, another stress comes up and kaboom you're all over the place trying to put things in order. I hate it when that happens.
Unfortunately, it's inevitable as long as we're alive. Our ability to adapt to changes and unplanned circumstances is part of what makes us human.
I must say that It's been hell lately and I therefore apologise to everyone I'd normally interact with.
Five (5) ways to build self-esteem and self-confidence!
4th of April 2022
Lead Image https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/lead-yourself-to-a-life-of-success-picture-id1299077558?b=1&k=20&m=1299077558&s=170667a&w=0&h=FeXdYaxMLBwMDNso1B2vTrg4Onwy2P8NwZ9X6oZfy_M=
**1. Self-acceptance is key**
We don't honour our strengths enough but always look at our weaknesses and pinpoint all our failures when there's over twenty thousand things that we're doing right.
For example, I might be good at public speaking but when it comes to group interactions I might freak out and have a panic attack or an anxiety attack but that doesn't mean that I’m a bad person that I’m not good enough. Actually, what that means is that you know there are parts of me that I have strengths and there are parts that I have weaknesses and it doesn't mean that I can't learn and develop those areas, it also doesn't mean that I failed. Maybe I wasn't exposed to group conversations and connections growing up and I don't know what that looks like. That is something that I can go and expose myself to now as an adult.
To learn those tools, it's important for you to realize your family dynamic and what you were exposed to while going up. What you were exposed to plays a big part on your skill sets as an adult. So be compassionate to yourself if you see strengths. You should celebrate your Strengths and weaknesses. I want you to celebrate your weaknesses because all of you is good even the parts that are imperfect.
**2. Re-parent your inner child**
A lot of us grew up in homes with dysfunction and when I say dysfunction it could look like two parts. One is straight chaos- screaming, yelling and all that where your parents are always fighting and then they never come to a resolution. You never see you the problem being fixed it's just swept under the rug and then not dealt with again. The other home that I see quite often is where you're not allowed to show your feelings. You're not allowed to express yourself and with those children I’ve seen them have a hard time being vulnerable and taking risks in life because they were taught that you can't face your emotions.
So as an adult when you use those same tools, it doesn't work for us that's why our relationships become disastrous. It only reaches a certain level and then either it's fight or flight or freeze. To move past that, you have to soothe your inner child.
I'd like for you to learn how to reparent your inner child by going deep into your mind and talking to your child self in a compassionate and loving way the way you wanted to hear your parent to do for you.
**3. Change your narrative**
What you say to yourself is what you believe in yourself. So, anything that you put after the words “I am” becomes your truth.
For instance, when I make a mistake, I sometimes catch myself saying things like “oh my gosh, I’m so dumb. Why did I do that” and blah blah. Then I changed the narrative and I’m like how I can be compassionate to myself in this situation and the first thing I say is this is a mistake that many people have made.
What is the lesson to be learnt here and how can you develop a skill set so that you can actually move through this and not repeat it again? Two things that happened there are- I connected myself with a common trend with humanity. I'm no better and no less than anyone else, that I’m having a human experience. The second thing that happened there is that I developed the ability to learn and create solution so that way I don't repeat the same mistake over and over again.
Each of those moments that you catch yourself making a mistake are a way for you to grow so look at it as an exciting opportunity to help you develop to your best self.
**4. Compliment yourself**
If you struggle with your self-worth and you often feel low and empty, then what you need do is to complement yourself to fill yourself back up so that you can actually feel confident in yourself.
You should focus on the core values that you really appreciate about yourself and back it up with some facts and if you don't have any facts to back it up with there may be some self-reflection and work you need to do so that you can actually make it factual.
For instance, you believe that you're a thoughtful person and you haven't done any thoughtful acts then ask yourself what are certain things that you can do today that could be thoughtful to your friends family or people you're surrounded with. The more you focus on your strengths and your core values, the more you will see your confidence boosting because you're living in line with who you truly are.
**5. Celebrate your flaws**
I think we chop ourselves down so low when we forget that these flaws are just part of us. You know we all have good and bad parts but that doesn't make us horrible persons. It just makes us human.
The goal here is to accept and embrace the areas that you're ashamed of. You've probably heard the statement “what you resist persists well if you don't face your flaws”. It’s a fact. If you don't face the problems, then there's nothing to work on to result in development and growth. Avoiding the problem will let it persist so embracing and celebrating your flaws allows you to grow.

Three (3) ways to empower yourself as a Woman
3rd of April 2022
Lead Image https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1547937084-4d587301a545?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8NXx8d29tZW4lMjBlbXBvd2VybWVudHxlbnwwfHwwfHw%3D&auto=format&fit=crop&w=600&q=60
**1. Like and respect yourself**
The first person and the only person who should unconditionally like and respect you is you. Women who have not felt empowered within attach a lot of what is happening outside to their self-worth. I can tell you this because I lived among women for years as the only male in the family and I’ve seen them struggle with self-empowerment and self confidence.
Now regardless of gender, I'm not somebody who came from a background where I felt empowered, and I had to work very hard on myself. I personally also believed that having a fantastic education, having accomplishments lifestyle would make me worthy of my own respect but that doesn't work. The goal posts keep changing and it does not equate to any kind of self-worth.
So here is something that I did, and you can do as well. I stood in front of the mirror every morning and I said I like myself and respect myself. I began to validate myself. I must tell you that the first few days were very difficult to say it. I think I broke down the first time or the second time and yet over time I realized that nobody can really disrespect me until I allow myself to be disrespected.
The moment you feel that you like and respect yourself unconditionally, you will stop giving out power to other people. All the empowerment to be assertive, to stand your ground and to have boundaries that you seek outside already lies within you.
**2. Have clarity**
You can't get what you want if you don't know what you want. A lot of choices are made for women who don’t feel empowered. It could be the educational qualification that they have, the industry they work for and sometimes personal decisions as to who they will marry and how they will live their lives, how they bring up their children and so on.
Here is something that you can do- you take a picture of yourself put it in front of you when you are feeling that you are making yourself smaller than necessary. You tell yourself what you would want to do better. Look at this person in front of you, would you like her to make herself smaller or would you empower her from that place of empowerment? Make your choice and respond with clarity and assertiveness.
**3. Acting and experimenting**
The only way to be an assertive woman is to act like an assertive woman. In this case, instead of first feeling like an assertive woman act like an assertive woman and let that change your perception of who you are.
As a Man, I sometimes feel that there is an expectation that I'm going to fill. I feel like this is my square and I am going to remain in the square until I break it open. I must stand up for myself, I am not ashamed to ask for what I want and I'm not so scared to be disliked. I believe this should apply for both male and female.
I tell myself daily- I know a lot of people don't like me but there are many more who do like me, and I am focused on those people. I tell myself I am not anybody’s cup of tea and I think you should try to be like that as well. You're not everybody's cup of tea and so be it.
It's not going to be a linear progression but an experiment with a new identity of yourself. Activities like approaching somebody for a conversation, leading and setting the tone for a meeting and so on are some little things that you can do every day to break that pattern and that mould that you have created for yourself or was given to you since you gained consciousness of who you are.

Alone in the dark II (Sci-fi)
2nd of March 2022

“Warning, Oxygen is at 28%”, a voice spoke from within the chamber. It was a man’s voice.
“Who are you?”
“Where am I?”, She asked as she shook with fear.
“I am your medical assistant. I have been designed to cater for your medical needs. Call me Tony”, it said with a robotic voice. It was an AI. The question of what she was doing there and how she got there wasn’t answered. Perhaps it wasn’t programmed to answer such questions.
She began to observe her body. There were several tubes attached to her stomach like those she had initially removed from her hands but much bigger. She shrieked as she pulled them out of her body. She was in pain. It was inevitable. She wanted to wake up from this bad dream as she couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it was a dream, maybe it wasn’t. There was no way to tell.
“You’re in a state of panic, would you like a sedative?” Tony asked.
She ignored the question “let me out” she screamed as she pushed the top of the chamber as if to push it open. She was in distress and couldn’t bear to be there for much longer.
“I’m sorry I can’t do that for now” Tony replied. “You’re in distress, would you like to be given a sedative?” “I don’t want a sedative just let me out”, she screamed as she continued to bang the chamber hard with both hands.
“Have I been kidnapped? Please tell me what is going on”, she continued to bang hard in all directions.
“I am not programmed to answer this question. I can only give you a status report”. Tony replied.
“Yes please. I want a status report”. She answered quickly with her heart beating fast as though she had been waiting for the answer to that question.
“The cooling system in your pod has been damaged. This has affected your oxygen level, resulting in a suspension of your cryo-sleep”. Tony narrated.
“Cryo-sleep?” then I must be in an hospital she though as she began to hit even harder as she did previously as she attempted to get someone’s attention. If she was in a hospital, then someone must be nearby. “heeeelp, somebody…anybody. I’m awake. Let me out”, she screamed at the top of her voice as she continued to hit all directions. She screamed until her voice could no longer cope with the stress.
“I don’t want to die, please help me” she sobbed as tears began to drop from her eyes. She realised no one was coming and could do nothing but cry. She cried and cried until her eyes could produce no more tears. “Somebody, anybody”, she said as her voice faded.
She had become weak from all the screaming and banging. Her hands could no longer bang as hard as she initially did. She was beginning to lose hope.
Her eyes had become red and swollen from crying for several minutes and her vision became blurry. She began to run her fingers around the tube with the hope of finding a button to release her from her prison or perhaps a button to alert whoever was out there. Indeed, she was in prison, she needed to be free.
As she scanned the environment with her hands, she came across a small opening. She dipped her hand in quickly as though she had been expecting the opening. She put her hands in quickly and began to explore the box until her hands touched several wires. “If something goes wrong, the hospital staff will be alerted”, she thought as she pulled the wires towards herself as she attempted to cut them.
She was electrocuted.
She screamed as she was electrocuted. She jerked back and forth as she forcefully pulled her hands off the wires.
She wasn’t moving. Was she asleep? Maybe.
When she opened her eyes Tony’s voice alerted her. “Your oxygen is at 20 percent”.
Her vision was still blurry from the shock. She looked towards the open space she had previously put her hands and out came spiders. The spiders rushed out of the space and rushed towards her as if they had been provoked. They began to climb her body and rushed towards her face as she struggled to take them off. The many spiders rushed over her and walked over her face with intent. They began to enter through every hole- her mouth, ears and nose as she screamed at the top of her voice.
“Calm down, you need to calm down. You are in shock”, Tony said as she screamed for about fifteen seconds until the spiders vanished. The spiders weren’t real. She was hallucinating perhaps out of shock or an unconscious fear of spiders. She began to cry once more.
“Please if you can hear me, let me out. I’d do whatever you want. Just let me go”. She cried and pleaded for minutes until she became tired once more.
“I need to get out of here… I need to get out of here….”, she said continuously in a low tone. She was confused and had no idea what to do. She was confused and unsure.
There was no way to tell if she was in a hospital or had been kidnapped. She wondered how long she had been there and hoped that someone would come for her soon.
If she had been kidnapped, sooner or later her captors would come for her. What if they had been caught by the police and refused to disclose her location. What if they had been caught while attempting to do the same to someone else and had been apprehended. Both cases mean she would be forgotten in this place forever.
She couldn’t control her thoughts anymore. Different situations played in her head, with each one worse than the last. Her heart began to beat fast as though she had been running for a few minutes.

Five (5) things confident women do differently
1st of April 2022
Lead Image https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1573164713712-03790a178651?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8Nnx8d29tZW4lMjBhZmZhaXJzfGVufDB8fDB8fA%3D%3D&auto=format&fit=crop&w=700&q=60
Who doesn't want to be confident? Most women I know want to feel more confident in their day-today lives and while confidence can seem like an elusive thing, it's not that hard to do.
This article will show you the five things confident women do differently, things that will help you feel more confident in your life. There are only some small changes you can make to be more confident and successful. You'll be amazed at how simple these changes are and how these changes can have a huge impact on your life. Let’s get right into it.
**1. She listens more than she speaks**
A confident woman listens more than she talks because she feels like she has nothing to prove. A confident woman knows that she is more likely to learn and grow by actively listening and paying attention to others instead of seeing interactions as opportunities to prove to others.
She focuses on the interaction itself because she knows that it's a much more enjoyable and productive approach to people.
**2. She looks for small victories**
A confident woman likes to challenge and compete with herself even if her efforts yield small victory. The increase in androgen receptors increases the effect of testosterone which further increases confidence and willingness to take on future challenges. Once you achieve a series of small victories you have months of self-confidence.
**3. She gets her happiness from within**
Happiness is a critical element of trust because being sure of what you do is being happy with who you are. Confident people derive their pleasure and satisfaction from their success contrary to what other people think of their success. No matter what anyone says they know it's never as good or bad as people say
**4. she says what she thinks**
If you are confident in yourself, you are not afraid to speak your thoughts out loud it does not mean being rude. It is saying things clear when we think. This occurs either in work, relationships or with the family.
Having to be self-conscious when speaking is a sign that we are not sure about our thoughts or the reactions we expect when saying them publicly. However, being confident also takes a somewhat mature attitude when expressing what you think since you know what, how and when to say what you think.
**5. A partner is not essential**
Many women need to have sentimental company to feel safe calm or protected and when that situation changes, they lose their stability a bit and it doesn't have to be that way since a spouse is a company and a part of well-being of many people. But it doesn't have to be essential to have someone to feel safe.
At the end of a relationship, you can often feel insecure to think about the failures or what could have been different to avoid a breakup. Still, you may hesitate when you are sure of yourself, but you know that you cannot force anyone and that you do not need one person to be fine you know it is a process and no she is not afraid of not having a partner either which is not the same as being alone.
