The journey to Thebes was a smooth and easy one. No prying eyes on him and no stop between checkpoints to remind him of his age and supposed vulnerability.
The double coach bus struggled all it could against the rock hard road beaten to hardness by the hazy weather. The driver whistled so meritoriously he could have won the American Got Talent with it. Just like in his journey to Rome, everyone appeared lonesome and even sad, looked like people were getting tires of living, no wonder cliff jumping is now one of the trendiest sports, looks like a honest gamble of whether to die.
The only difference being the slightly warm weather and the sun peeping from behind the clouds.
The place was desolated, filled with fallen houses and half complete structures. The whole derelicts was drowned in a patches of green showing that though the owners and their children might have left this place, Nature still counts it as its own.In sharp contrast to the desolation, is the blooming greens and verdant vestiges of a fertile land."What am I going to do here? Where am I to follow? " Tom asked himself.Dipping his hands into his ever loyal handbag, he shuffles around a while before springing out with a piece of moldy tattered paper parchment.He absentmindedly unrolled and spread the parchment, sighed deeply before turning his pointed gaze from the forlon land that it was feasti
Entering into the heart of the underground chamber, his eyes dilated to take in more light. It was an eerie place giving the feeling of the starting room in the Escape Room ™. It was like an encampment of the unknown, the feeling of the walking dead, the kind of quietness that leaves a person's mind reeling around the feeling of brooding and dread.The only thing he could see was blackness and fear.He lifted his legs to take a step into the cavern only to be pulled back by a large string pulling at his chest. He couldn't bring himself to do it…
"I love them brownie Chocolates, looking for someone to get me the Starbucks""Uhm, I can. Just that..? " The boy stuttered."Really? You're such a darling! " She ran to hug him.It was as if he was going to say something for a moment but decided against it. He accepted the embrace albeit not eagerly."So, " he looked up at her, "are you gonna get with me? " the perfect Spiderman face.Heidi's face crumpled. It's that what's this is all about? She asked herself.Seeing the face of the girl crumple, the boy lost it. He now know that this girl will never give in to him a
"Ahhhhhhh! " the scream pierced into the night, and kept echoing down the road, a young bricklayer who sat by the corner of a house recuperating from the day's work struggling with sleep on the hard concrete slab jerked up.He prickled his ears to get where this ear and heart splitting scream was coming from."Seems to be coming from this direction " he murmured as he ducked down to slip into the rabbit hole by the vertex of a long house."Yehhh!" Slump, he fainted. After some minutes he regained consciousness and immediately sweeped a gaze filled with apprehension to the rabbit hole through which he fell through.Flicking out some balls of sweat from his forehead, he exhaled heavily and slow
The boy laid there unconscious, he was bewildered and at lost of what to do. What he has witnessed was simply frightening. He never saw anything like that. The boy was bathed in flames, oozing fire from his eyes and his hair burst and immersed in flames."Are you alright? " he whispered softly to the dormant boy.His brows creased in deep worry and confusion. A tinge of anxiety laced over his cheeks and his fingers crossing and doublecrossing themselves."I pray you are okay" he sighed.With that he stood up and and kept his gaze on the wide open door some way from him and started to move into the direction…
February 1 Tom left the cottage trying to escape those horde of hoodlums bound crn getting him apprehended however, he could only take a few lonely steps before; Thud Came the sound of a body falling at his feet. This gave him the scare of his life as there was no how he had expected to see them catching up to him so soon. Just as he was resigning himself to his fate, he bent down to look at the body that has fallen on his legs and discovered to his consternation, that it was dead. He never expected to see a dead body falling on him so he immediately surveyed his
"Here you will learn the art of basic defence." a voice pierced the tranquil atmosphere. "According to the story you just told me, you could have easily fended off some of those hoodlums and protect yourself. Of course, you already know that it is because of your incompetence that you have been chased to the valley and bruised all over. " Another pair of eyes narrowed, staring intently at the speakers own. The slit between the Snow White whiskers opened again but this time, it shut without saying anything. The speaker sighed heavily that it seems his chest did travel a bit before continuing with a slightly downcast tone. "I
"What the…" Tom was stupefied. His head felt blank and his eyes just stared at the space ahead, painfully unaware to the planet he's orbiting or orbiting with. Either way. "Tom Sal…" as the old man likes to call him. "Yes? " he snapped out of it. "That's pretty quite a fuss you made here. " "And should I clean it up?" he brushed past the old man only that he didn't pass. The old man was standing there just a few inches clear of him but he couldn't pass. And his arm was not holding him, nor anything he could see with his physical eyes which were now bulging to the
