ILLUSIONS VII

CHAPTER 7- RUN 'Run son. Run.' Raymond looked at his dad and was confused. He didn't understand any of what was happening. 'Son, run!’ This time the ferocity in his dad's voice alone was enough to send him running like the devil himself was after him. The place was dark and he kept on crashing into obstacles. He knew where they were. In the barn behind their house. He played there a lot of times with his dad. Today however had been different. He had fallen asleep and when he has woken up, night had fallen. He screamed his dad's name and then had come the instruction to run. He wasn't scared at first but as he kept on running in circles and crashing into obstacles, his fear greatly increased. He stopped for a while. 'Dad?' Ray whispered in the dark. There was no response and his fear heightened. 'Dad?!' He screamed. He started running again. Something suddenly occurred to him. The obstacles had not being there.  Some on...

The Short Man in the Bible who gives Usain Bolt a Run for his Money

Hi there guys!  I've missed you bam!😍  You've missed me too? .. I know!!! 😁  Anyway, you guys know I'm a Christian and my faith is such a big part of who I am. You see lately, ever since I really got down to study the word of God, I have felt this innate desire to share it but I just didn't know how until a wise man told me to do it the best way I knew how. For me, that is writing and humour. So I have combined these two elements and created this first  of what I hope will be  a thread of posts. I pray you enjoy it and more importantly, are blessed by it. 😊 So over the past few years, until the last Olympic Games, o ne of the issues that had sparked an endless stream of debates was the man who was faster than Usain  Bolt. Me de3, I have always maintained a default stance. I was *#TeamBolt* all the way until I read a shocking thing in the 19th chapter of St Luke's gospel that got me going like "whaaaaaaaaaaaaat! " So it turns out, Usain...

Hi there guys, So we've decided to make Illusions twice a week! Yaaaaay!!!😀 As a result, you can totally visit the blog every other Monday and Wednesday to get a dose ya heard ?😉 Now here's where we left off last week : "Nothing had seemed out of the ordinary. I don't know what had happened, but I do know one thing. Blood had been there that night. He had been, and Grid was all the motivation he needed to show his face and yet somehow he hadn't. Something had held him back. I knew that for sure. I didn't know what but I was going to find out..." And now, today's chapter! ... CHAPTER 6 - LETTING GO Grid couldn't explain what exactly was happening to her. The past few weeks had taken a nasty toll on her and she hadn't begun to experience the effects until now. She thought she had overcome the  traumatic encounter but she couldn't have been more wrong.  She looked like a ghost now and always had this dist...

Hi there!... I've missed you more than anything and since I know you just want to delve into the piece I won't stall you kraaa.  Happy reading! 😀 CHAPTER 5  - MISTAKEN Asher Wood smiled his famous smile and as usual, the girls were swooning all over him. Particularly, his smile today was directed towards the lady seated at the bar in the nightclub he frequented. They called the place, Adna and the place sure gave pleasure unimaginable. He shifted his attention back to the lady. There was something about her that drew him to her and he didn't resist the force at all. He approached her and smiled seductively at her. It did nothing as to even make her flinch a muscle and he was amazed. This was the first time his smile hadn't worked. She just gave him a cursory look and went back to her drink. He got another shock. She was taking a soda. No girl he had met in Adna ever took soda. It was either a scotch or brandy or something very stiff at that. Now, this ...

Forgetting You

**About four years ago ** " Hello... Massa Karim... hello... can you hear me?...damn this network! " Brian stammered into his phone. The torrential downpour drummed on the roof of his Hyundai Elantra as he sat in with all its windows tightly shut. This was to prevent the rain from coming in to drench him. The fact that his car had decided to break down aggravated him very much. "Hello... Ahaaa Massa Karim... It is I... Yes... my car broke down in the middle of the Hilla road... " Brian explained to the party at the other end of the call when he had finally been able to hear him clearly. " ...of course Sir... I'll send someone over ," Massa Karim affirmed avidly. He was almost about to close the autoshop just a while ago when Sandra  entered. The rain had started just a while after Sandra 's arrival. They'd been catching up when the phone had began to ring. " Ayitey!... Armah!... Jojo!..., " he called out like a Soprano...

Hi there ! We present this week's 4th chapter of Illusions .... You can find the previous chapter here  ....And now, this week's chapter...happy reading!  CHAPTER 4 - THE PARTING Ingrid stared blankly at the phone. She had tried calling her best friend for... how many times now... she couldn't even remember. Throughout her accident and recovery she hadn't even heard from her. The girl didn't pick her calls or even reply her texts. Their relationship had become strained some weeks before The incident . That's what they all chose to call it now. The incident. Back to the issue at hand. Before that she picked her calls only when she felt like it and just replied her texts with short quick answers, almost as if she didn't want to talk, which made Grid feel like a bother. Grid was always the one who called or texted. Esmeralda never did. If Grid didn't call to find out how Esme was doing, Esme didn't bother. Grid had even gone a week w...

AGAINST THE SKY II

So a while back I published the first part of this story here and the response was remarkable! Awurabena said she'd like to feature for the sequel and so after a while of cooking it, it is finally here.....Happy Reading and please don't forget to leave a comment! 😉 *A month ago* Ebo Essandoh’s decision to commit suicide had everything to do with Esi Akorful. It was no news. At least, to those who knew him well, of which his mum, the attorney general, and his three closest pals Nii, Jonas and Paa were inclusive. Esi Akorful. Only God knows what power she possessed to cause such transformation in Ebo since they met. That is what we’d call it. A drastic transformation. Ebo Essandoh entered the university with excellent grades. The guy was exceptionally brilliant and his transcript was proof enough.  It was almost like he was the Einstein of his time. Well technically he was. Contrary to what you may be thinking Ebo wasn’t a notorious person. Well to the outside w...
