Pull Over Cassandra rushed to her after the call she received from the hospital that Dan was rushed into the Intensive Care Unit.

Education Is An Antidote Education as you know is the bedrock of any nation. A world out education would have been so crude, primitive and immobile. Without education, you cannot solve any of the world's problems but with education you can solve the majority of the world's problems. Here, I mean that education is not only in the four walls of a classroom. Education begins from conception to death. Knowing this fact has helped a lot of people consider education as a life…

With the siren drawing nearer, the kids separated themselves and ran to different directions. Barry skipped the fence to the adjoining street while Maleek…

Gender Swap Many thoughts on my head as we speak. The thoughts are not for what to write but how to drop the points. Until this morning, I haven't given much consideration on being a lady.

If reincarnation is something that hold waters, then we I am coming back to this world, I will certainly lime to be a man for several reasons. Now…
Our Value System Good afternoon from this part of the world to all Readers. Looking around for what makes you happy could be a task that you will never be able to accomplish. Recently, I listened to a blessed (black) preacher in an America-based church who made some assertions that let me re-thinking. The changes we yearn for will not come except the value system is changed. Years ago, America which is referred to as God's own country built her system around the morals of a…

You might have heard that those rats, according to their species, could be very dangerous to human health. Otherwise known as Ratus Ratus, the size of the rats determines how destructive they…

In my little understanding, and from all that I have read, in war, there is no winner. There is absolutely no victor, there is no vanquished. When Germany appeared as the aggressor against Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, little did we know that even if a big blow was dealt on Japan, Germany too had consequences that…
