"Anyone close to me ends up dying." She couldn't bear for that to happen again.

She glanced at the big church, then a thought dropped on her mind and her worried face was transformed into a smile. Gone were the weary lines.
She stopped by the closest supermarket to purchase

Sisyphyra The Old Church - #10
"Run scum. Run coward!" The creature gave a guttural yelping of laughter filled with malevolent spite as Father Francis left the room shutting the door. Then, it turned its gaze at Father Lazarus. It dropped gradually to the ground hissing."Let the enemy have no power over her and the son of iniquity be powerless to harm her, hear my prayer Oh Lord!" The Father reached up his hand and traced the sign of the cross, slowly, on her bow while he continued to read from the text of the Ritual. The hissing ceased and was replaced with a nerve-shredding lowing of a steer."And let my cry come unto Thee. The Lord be with you and with your spirit." He pressed a portion of the stole to her neck while he continued."Who sent your only begotten Son into the world to crush the fiery dart

What is money? What is wealth? In a life that will one day end. He died on the day the eagles refused to leave the grey sky and was buried at the time when the dresses people wore danced to the breeze pulling their caps and headgears almost off from their heads. And the eyes of those who loved him were red-rimmed and swollen after hours of crying and moaning. "He was too young to die" "Too good to die" they collectively lamented. Shaking their heads against the airy tide in agony as the golden casket was lowered to six feet in the dug-up hole. "And to the dust, he returns," the priest said bracing the air above the casket."In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."

If you want riches without painThen get readyfor a life without peace.Having taken a leave from his place of work, he had gone in search of Doctor Mayo's dwelling. That morning, he had crossed two streams, four villages, three forests, and three rivers away from where he had traveled from.Mark Crown's eyes widened at the excuse of a house the doctor lived."Someone's got some level of intellectual degree and esteemable affluence yet this was what he could show off? A gross-looking mud hut with cracks on its wall. Engaging reptiles and arachnids. Talk about a monkinised person or a miser, but he was Zuko's business partner, it doesn't make any sense", he murm

The love from familyIs bound by blood and tiesAnd the care rendered is endless.And so he started putting his plans in place one after the other. He bought a new house and a new car. All these, he never disclosed to Loya. Though the presence of riches in his life had prompted him to take a bold step in wedding her. Which he did just two months after just as her baby bump began to show. Mark continued to live with his wife in the one-room apartment until his mother visited them once again. His mother called him a failure at fathering a child when she realized in her assumption that he wasn't making any attempts to make his family conditions better. Since he already knew the kind of mother she was, he chose not to reveal his plans because if he did she will want him to consider her o

When there is life there is hopeWhen there is light there is dayWhen there is darkness there is also night.Pacing to and fro, every element of calmness had left him. He glanced at his Assistant and White Fox, they were nodding their heads in the corner. The nose mask on their face hid the drool from their slumber. He checked his old leather wristwatch again."What's taking them so long?" Mark had rushed his mother to the hospital.The news of his wife's death has not yet dawned on him. He wondered when the lockdown will be eased, he glanced at the empty reception room again.At 6:00 pm, the doctor finally addressed them. White Fox and Ma
Sisyphyra The Cannibals of Caliba - #1
Far below the plains and valley of the Old Earth, by the moving fogs and dense brown grove full of red mangroves though it appeared above the Ngwal Ocean water level is Caliba, a slightly small land surrounded by huge rocks held on by tiny yet fragile-looking ones. It is what some people call today the Stone Age. The people of Caliba are gifted with the traits of fertility hatched on their DNA coupled with that they rarely feel the murderous pain childbearing entail. The source of this gift is yet to be revealed even to this day. As time passed by to the time of the great plague, many people died of the plague.
