“Greetings Mugabe son of Mugabe,’’ his deep voice cut through the bleak silence like razor, “you have a reckoning to answer for, from the son of Oranmiyan, prepare to be judged.’’“All I have done, I did for science and how to make the world better, and yes I will do again given the chance.’’ Mugabe glared up at Shango in defiance, betrayed only by the tremor in his voice.“At the cost of my own freedom, freewill and years of pain,’’ Shango bristled, defend thy case better, mortal for your life and that of your people hangs in the balance.’’The doctor glanced back at his colleagues, for once emotion flashed through his impassive face.“The decisions was mine and mine alone demon,’’ he said, ‘’they were just following orders, my own grandfather started this project, the feud is between you and I pagan god.’’Shango growled. “the one who stole the keg of palm oil from the ledge from whence it was kep

As I left my offspring’s to mourn their dead, I couldn’t help but felt some empathy towards them. They had been harshly shown life and the vanity that was its garment. I wandered on after I had dealt with the insignificant warriors who failed to realize their leaders were dead and they were outmatched, for even in my weakened state, they were of no match for me.There was pandemonium everywhere as the inhabitants of my accursed prison ran helter skelter, the chaos fed strength into my limbs as I wandered on in my search for the exit.

Alexis Constance Mugabe stood staring at the skeleton that was the remains of the institute, the dust from the debris coated the air as it mingled with the smoke from nearby burning buildings. She tore her gaze from the uprooted remains of the once impressive D.R.E.G labs headquarter to stare impassively instead at the state’s vice-governor has he struggled up the wreckage to stand beside her, the side of her mouth curled up in amusement at his bemused look; it’s been a week since the institute building burrowed up from below to put an end to the simple uneventful lives of the Lagosians, leaving them confused and frightened. Her sore mood sugared up a bit at the look on the vice’s face as he gaped at the massive building before him. Alexis was amused at the politician’s discomfort, they had always had this sense of assurance that they were prepared for anything. Their lying skills would put a lie detector test machine to

"All area units, we've got a reported rampage situation in victoria garden city axis...all units be advised suspect is an Abami situation."Detective Okafor shared a look with his partner as they listened to the police scanner, wondering whether it's a good or a bad thing that they were in the area."Abami situation?" Detective Bisi asked as she pulled their car out the fast food driveway, picking up speed."It's what the police call all the monsters that escaped that damn building," Detective Okafor answered, "fewer of the creatures has been sighted so far but the bigger ones are getting hungry, and if one has found its way into the garden city things aren't gonna look good for the residents.""Are we even equipped for this kind of situation?, I've seen the videos, these creatures are way above our pay grade.""We do our duty Bisi, hopefully this Abami is one of the little ones."
