Struggle
It was a full moon and the sky was cloudless. Crickets creaked and the frogs croaked their own tunes as light radiates from Lt. Thomas’ house. The family was having supper at their grand table. Mrs. Thomas emerged from the kitchen with a grin, a covered platter in both hands. As she dropped the plate, she uncovered it, revealing a full baked chicken. Everyone sighed in delight. Lt. Thomas and his three sons swallowed hard and complimented their mother’s cooking.
“Stop that Dele! Where are your manners? Your dad is supposed to be the one taking the first bite!” She playfully scolded one of her sons.
“Hahaha, let them be, my dear. They are hungry that’s all.” The lieutenant said as he twisted a lap out of the chicken to his wide mouth and took a bite.
“You’re spoiling them.” His wife said.
“We’re sorry mum!!!” The boys chorus

He ran as fast as he could, occasionally looking back into the darkness. Loud rustling and howling filled the air as he sailed through the wall of fog, not minding what lay ahead as he lunged across the grass, dashing his foot against a stone, he came crashing down. His jaw came in contact with the ground and he gave a loud cry.Realizing the gravity of the fall when the blood dropped into his shirt, spreading like ripples, he turned to face the darkness. The howls and the croaks of frogs had stopped. Beyond the darkness was silence. The moon shone proudly, illuminating the path he laid. Weirdly, it never illuminated the darkness. His eyes darted here and there trying to see any living thing but all he could see was grass and more grass. Still, he was a little bit restless for his instincts and senses were tingling. Something was about to happen to him but he did not know what exactly and this crippled him. There was a rustling in a nearby bush. His eyes darted

He ignored the women at the counter and went straight for the detective’s office.“I knew you would need me.” Byron barged into the man’s office. A smirk on his face, he took the seat in front of the detective’s desk, placed his laptop bag on the desk, and loosened his tie. “What happened this time?”Burly Agent Bobby Andrews hated this kid’s guts – and attitude. He had decided to ignore the kid’s rude remarks when he came but now he was having second thoughts.

Gbenga unlocked it with a singular key he had brought from his pocket. Lex wondered what was beyond the door. A circle of transmutation?

Inside the mildly cold office, Bob was having Hollandia. His phone’s ring annoyed him. He hated interruptions while he ate. This was the only time he was free of worry, his only leisure moment. He picked the receiver and spoke.“Who's this?”“Bob? Is that you?” Sobbing in the background, familiar voice. “I need your help!”Bob was about to ask who this was, he held himself. The police man in him figured out that it's going to be hard to keep her holding on the line for long unless you hold the conversation. If actually, she's in some deadly situation.“Calm down. Where are you?” Bob's gentle voice settled calm on Olamide's quivering shoulders. She demanded that Bob bring an ambulance.“My friend, he's been injured pretty badly.
