Cold Revenge **[WP] You are a famed assassin. This is your last contract before retirement and as you sit behind the scope, from 8km away, your target makes eye contact with you...and waves.** ***** Siberia. The winds blew hard and carried enough frostbite. Almost nearly as cold as my grieving heart, I thought while I continued to hike up the mountainside. Igor Klaskov had done an impressive job of trying to leave behind his past, and the damage he'd done, and hide out here…

Strapped **[WP] Upon returning home from your job as a security officer, you are assailed by a man dressed in all black. He misses and slices his sword through your car like it is tissue paper. "I am Reaper, Black Blade of the Crimson Edge of the Illuminati. Prepare to --" You shoot him in the face.** ***** When I was younger, in my adolescent years precisely, there was this show called 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' about these two kids that managed to win a game…

Strapped 2 [WP] Upon returning home from your job as a security officer, you are assailed by a man dressed in all black. He misses and slices his sword through your car like it is tissue paper. "I am Reaper, Black Blade of the Crimson Edge of the Illuminati. Prepare to --" You shoot him in the face. ****** It took ‘Reaper’ a while to respond, possibly because he was seething with anger. But then, I saw holes begin to appear in his throat, at the site of his vocal cords…

Six: Postcards from 2020 My Oral Examinations are starting tomorrow 😬 Last push for success, doing finishing touches here and there, choosing what to focus on and what to sideline and praying to God that they ask me questions from where I focused on. Wish me luck! 😬🥲 Apple set to release iOS 13.5 update with features tailored for efficient use during the COVID-19 Pandemic. When it comes to smartphones and such electronic devices, the company Apple is certainly at the top of…

Bark and Bite [WP] 11:11pm. Winter. A dog trainer can't understand why their most well-behaved dog is acting so anxious and panicked. Over and over, the dog slaps its paws on a string of Pet Speech Buttons: "NO/OUTSIDE/BAD/AFRAID", and does everything it can to keep you from approaching the front door... ***** In all my ten years, indeed a great decade of being a professional dog trainer and certified veterinarian, I had never experienced something like this. And more…

Over and over, the dog slaps its paws on a string of Pet Speech Buttons: "NO/OUTSIDE/BAD/AFRAID", and does everything it can to keep you from approaching the front door... ***** It was 11:16 PM and time was running out. Indecisiveness wouldn't be of any help to me, since only God knew what was going on down there while I was debating…

Bark and Bite 3 [WP] 11:11 pm. Winter. A dog trainer can't understand why their most well-behaved dog is acting so anxious and panicked. Over and over, the dog slaps its paws on a string of Pet Speech Buttons: "NO/OUTSIDE/BAD/AFRAID", and does everything it can to keep you from approaching the front door... ***** Daybreak brought its special form of exhaustion, which was quite understandable seeing how I had spent it watching my captive shout, bicker and talk big about…

My Chronicles 09-12-2021 Hi everyone! So, as usual, or maybe not so usual since I don't do this very often, this is one of the few posts that's not about one story or fiction I'm writing, and more about the things that happen in my life and how I'm tackling the problems I encounter everyday, and the problems that I've been battling for longer periods. Being an introvert through and through with some habits and personality traits that lean towards an unhealthy amount of…

Over and over, the dog slaps its paws on a string of Pet Speech Buttons: "NO/OUTSIDE/BAD/AFRAID", and does everything it can to keep you from approaching the front door... ***** The Sheriff was off with my little intruder, but I'd have a few things to worry about in the barn before I could head over there for the debriefing on how the…

Over and over, the dog slaps its paws on a string of Pet Speech Buttons: "NO/OUTSIDE/BAD/AFRAID", and does everything it can to keep you from approaching the front door... ***** The confidence in their speech, the mocking look in their eyes, all of these things infuriated me, but I could do nothing about it at the moment. One wrong move…

Flight, then Fright [WP] Your plane from Orlando to London has just landed and as it taxies in it's surrounded by police and press. You disembark and a police constable tells you. "It's 2036, your plane went missing 15 years ago." ***** January 16, 2021. Money made the world go round. Money answered all things. Money made you an enemy of the common man, who could not afford the things you could and live the life you lived. Money brought connections and opportunities to more…

You disembark and a police constable tells you. "It's 2036, your plane went missing 15 years ago." ***** January 16, 2036 Of course, I got into the car. Minus the fact that I was curious and confused as hell, and felt that the best chance I'd get to find answers was through these stiff men in weird glasses that seemed to…

"It's 2036, your plane went missing 15 years ago." ***** Regaining consciousness was a groggy experience, my eyes waking before any other part of my body and staying open as I tried to move my limbs and get the blood in them circulating again, seeing as I was lying spread eagle on a bed. This had…

"It's 2036, your plane went missing 15 years ago." ***** The Police officers guarding that hospital ward never saw it coming. Of course, armed with their level of ammunition and tactical gear, it would have been unfathomable to think that they would be stumped by three petty theives. Gross…

Flight, then Fright 9 The calm before the storm was an incomplete phrase because it did not talk about what happened AFTER the storm. There was also another calm after the storm, one that enveloped me in its warmth, installed some level of amnesia to temporarily forget all my worries and tiredness and the events that just took place, and then put me to sleep. I didn't know when the woman entered the room, or that she had been watching me sleep for some time. I only awoke two…

Christmas and Sober Reflections Ah, Christmas. Winter, the cold wind, the snow, the snowmen and snowballs. The jingle bells, the decorations, the kisses under the mistletoe, the trees and the gifts on the ground, the fires in the fireplace, the filled socks and the songs and stories. All that stuff that Hollywood confused us into thinking that things were like that all the world over. But in Nigeria, where I live, we all characterized Christmas with the dust that comes with…

The Devil's Reward [WP]You look down at your mangled body among the burning wreckage, and then back up at the angels coming to take you to paradise. Then a burning hook of brimstone shoots out of the ground, sinking into you and pulling you into the abyss. ***** *The good die young.* Then perhaps, I had become a saint at some point in my life. Or maybe my definition and views of good and bad were wrong because I could have sworn that I was the textbook definition of a…

Ends of and in a Cube [WP] You push your way through the party and clink a champagne glass, “Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here at the end of the world. The last 24 hours of the apocalypse, after which the earth’s condition will trigger our safe house, and prison, to self-destruct. I would like to make a toast.” ***** Cold. It was all Matthew could feel. Perhaps it was just a reflection of the state of his heart. It was cold inside the Cube, and not unpleasantly so. Air…

The Chime of Death **[WP] The reaper sighs and rubs his face, newly assigned to the Human Death Department, exasperated. “I asked what your song is. You know, Your Song? The last song you want to hear? I know humans spend hours and days debating these things. Surely, you know which Your Song is? Right?”** ***** Death. It had come to me as turbulent as ever. I was one of the people who were unfortunate to spend their last days, or weeks as in my case, praying for death and…

The Eight Legs of Love THEN My feet barely grip the hard rock floor as I take the next corner, arrhythmic tapping following fast behind me. Run. I have to run. The strands of web trail behind me like streamers as I half stumble through the cave. My heart jumps in place as I hear a wet clicking sound ahead of me. *She's caught me*. I take out my torch; if I'm to die, I will look my death in the eye. Eyes, even. I don't realize the horrible clicking taps are still coming from…

Psychic Delusion **[WP] You have the magical power of psychic delusion, for example, bear traps can’t harm you “Obviously it won’t trigger, I’m not a bear”** ***** Daisy was an excellent actor. Daisy followed in the footsteps of many talented actors. She took enormous pride in the Method. Daisy took so much pride that her psychiatrist diagnosed her with Disassociative Identity Disorder. Once she finished her part as Alice, Daisy took great joy in dispelling that nonsense.…

Unlikely Bond **[WP] "So you summoned me... to fight?" the demon said. "I wield a scythe and my title is the Reaping Demon, how could it possibly be more clear I help with farming?** ***** The demon had been with the girl for three months. In that time, little had changed: the sky still billowed its nuclear clouds, never-ending, the color of an ancient anchor pulled up from the depths. The farmhouse still strained under its aging weight, still bent in on itself, its wooden…

Crows? Banshees? Both? The word felt like a cold metal blade sliding down his spine, slick and fatal. A dark sense of dread clawed deeply at his stomach while he looked at the silky, black eyes that the crow had. *Did that crow really just tell me that?* Anthony was standing on the porch of his house, trying to enjoy the cold night with his avian friends and smoke a cigarette before retiring late like he always did. "W-What did you just say?" The reply was automatic, not…

Hell's Hiring **[WP] You and the Devil sit down for a game of chess. If he wins, he takes your soul. If you win, you take control of Hell. As the Devil prepares his first move, he simply smiles and knocks over his king. "You win."** I blinked. "Say what now?" "You win. You're the ruler of Hell now!" The sharply-dressed man leaned back in his chair, his hands tucked behind his head. I glanced at the fallen king on the chessboard, wondering if this was some kind of trick.…

Genesis [WP]"Captain, why is an entire planet being used to hold only two life forms"? "The species confined there is the most savage and destructive of any world. We've waited this long to check on them to make sure they died. We're lucky they're the last ones". "Checking status of prisoners Adam and Eve". ***** Entering warp always made Jonz uncomfortable. The way everything in view became so squished made it hard to look at and sightly dizzying. Most officers didn't mind…
