It had been a cold night, Jason was in the kitchen, trying to cook up something for them. He'd fired the cook a few days before, claiming she was snitching on them to Father. It must've been rice, and stew, maybe, because Michael hadn't known if it was blood or hot stew on his brother's hands when he came staggering out of the kitchen.
He looked up from his phone,
'' Ahahhn, topman, shey na stew pour for your hand?''
Jason opened his mouth to say something, but instead of words, blood came gushing out.
He dropped the phone and rushed over to his brother. Jason slumped, time stopped, the room was suddenly very cold.
He tried to pick him up, Jason wouldn't move, he couldn't.
''Jason! Jason! Jason!!!!''
Someone's voice was cracking, croaky. He started crying.
He was squeezing him too tight, the blood was soaking his shirt, he did not care.
''Its not possible, it's not true''
Cradling his brother in his arms, he cried, and cried, then howled and howled some more, till he lost his voice.
The rice was still on fire tho.

WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24
Is This Love? (#Wattys2015)
Landing on top of Robert she began to beat at his chest. "How dare you...you can't do this to me! You can't just show up when you feel like it and the pretend nothing is wrong!" Grabbing her hands, he flipped them over holding her hands down and above her head. "Why does it matter what happened? That past does not matter now. I have been through too much to just walk away now." "You've been through too much? Oh and let me guess I've just been living the good life? I willingly left home, had sex, and got knocked up. You know if I had never met you...none of this would have ever happened!" Robert looked down into her eyes searching for something but only finding cold hard eyes,"You don't mean that." Keeping her ice stare, "Yes I do. I. Hate." ~~Jasmine and Robert are fated to be together, true mates, but will life's obstacles keep them apart?

My Boss
And there I stood, with my mouth wide open, my hands shaking, and my legs frozen. My boss looks up from his victim that is laying dead at his feet before wiping his bloodied hands on his shirt. As he saunters over to me, with a devilish hint in his eyes, all I could think about was how freaking pissed I was for my own body betraying my mind when it told me to run. I take a deep breath and close my eyes as he reaches his red stained hands towards my face, knowing this could be my last moment on Earth. Bracing myself for death to happen upon me, I clench my eyes shut tighter and curse myself for not being more brave. You might be wondering how I've ended up in this situation. Well, it all started 6 months ago, when I met the gorgeous stranger who now is holding my fate in his hands....Complete

Everything was going smoothly, until she heard footsteps approaching from the hallway leading to her room. Her room was at the extreme of the hallway.

All Too Well | ✔
"Who made you be this way?" he asked curiously as he focused on me intensely. I scoffed, "The devil in disguise did. He burned me in hell." "Is he the reason for those scars on your arms and wrists too?" his voice came out so low, which caused me to pull the sleeves of my sweater further down. "He was. Besides, those are not scars, they are battle wounds." I sucked a deep breath in. "A battle with whom?" his eyes were filled with concern and I had to avert my gaze from his to the glass of water in front of me. "Myself." - Imagine falling so deep in love that you eventually lose yourself.
