It was just about a few minutes after my break down, that it happened, Richard suddenly looked alert, I didn't have the time to guess what he looked like that before he grabbed my hand and we made a run for it, just then, I could finally understand the reason he ran away like that, it was the smell of burning, the moment we reached outside I realized a part of the building was on fire. "Wait here, I'll call someone to pick us up, this place isn't safe anymore." That was all he said to me before disappearing with his phone.      Martha was no where to be found, she was probably still inside. "Martha, Martha." I yelled, but there was no reply from her, and Richard had just gone out. I thought everything was going to be okay when suddenly I heard a scream coming from the inside, I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was to know that it was Martha, but she was trapped in the room where the fire escalated. There was no other way, the chimney's were

I knew he didn't want me anywhere near the meeting, but this went on for days. Am never awake when he returns and he leaves late in the night too. I am starting to think he doesn't want anyone to see me. I thought it was a joke but it seems to be a lot more serious than I thought.   "Mira, we need to talk." One night after I had made up my mind to stay awake, he said those words to me and didn't bother to explain anymore. We had agreed to meet tomorrow and I had been preparing for that for quite a while now.       I took my jacket and my boots out of the closet and put them on. Finally, I am getting a chance to receive some fresh air after two weeks. This is wonderful. I walked out of the changing room, happy but that mood was dropped in

I was watching the news when I saw something that startled me, no it didn't startle me, it pissed me off, I didn't expect my mood swings to snap just because of this but I guess anyone would have been furious. I ran to his study and barged in unannounced, regardless of this his eyes were not leaving the book he held in his hand, but I noticed that his eyes twitched in annoyance. Well I guess I could cause more trouble to gain his attention. I cleared my throat several times to make him uncomfortable and made weird noises with mouth. I stamped my feet without a rhythm and also banged at any hard surface my hand came in contact with, and finally he broke. "What???" He yelled.    I had succeeded in getting his attention and now my next step was to pacify his anger. If I want this request of mine I have to be as composed as possible. For the first time

"I'll go first." Brenda said. She made a quick call as she stepped outside, soon the caretaker opened the door and came out. We could see her from outside the gate as she looked around with caution, finally she made eye contact with Brenda and signaled for the gate to be opened. My suspicions for the caretaker rose, just who lets a stranger drive into their house, I glanced at the woman who stood unmoved, waiting for us to come in, maybe they were acquaintance, a not sure but but whatever it may be, I do hope she’s not here to harm my family.   At that moment the car drove in. I was given a shawl to  wrap it around my face, hurriedly I ran inside the house. At that moment when I reached the living room, I raced with speed to my father's room while Brenda and Lucy called out repeatedly for me to slow down. They didn't make any move so they wouldn't s

So many questions crossed my mind but I ignored them and walked down the stairs, it had countless stairs that it started to feel like it was an underground house. Finally I stopped at a door, it was made out of metal but the metal was Rusty and old, so old that it could be broken open if someone like me even pushed it open, but something was off, the door was unlocked, I opened the door and walked in, only to find a luxurious spacious room. "Can you at least knock before entering someone's house, am trying to sleep, Mira." Heavens who's that.   I felt like my soul was just about to leave my body from freight, looking around now no one was present in this room so where did that voice just come from. "Who said that?" I asked.        &
