Tom saw himself travelling through eras, times, seasons, generations, periods, and the whole thing was overwhelming.
He saw the cry of witches, burned at the stake for their abilities. He saw innocent souls accused of plotting against the state just because of personal animosity, disagreements and show of power. He saw men who did wondrous things with the powers of their beliefs being hung on trees and made to enjoy the feeling of flames feeding on faggots.
He saw clergies, priests, Freemasons, native prophets, seers, being burnt, pillaged like casseroles, struck brutal with knives and staves, bludgered with cubs by angry mobs, roasted like unwanted rabbits, drowned with milestones around their necks and sent to their early graves while their breath still remains with them.
Tom fell into a deep sleep. Have been a long time he slept this way. Nothing mattered anymore, not the glowing light some distance away that had intrigued him. Nor the steady hum of an unknown music that fills this cavity. Not the hanging vines nor the rare herbs over the window sill by the faintly glowing light. Nor the constant heaving sound that seems to echo from a closer nearby. He just slumped there, zoomed off to a world where no Ruput or his maniacal laughter exists. Over there in the serene horizon as He was wandering about the place, he could not help but wonder about the harmony, the concord and the balance in this world. He lifted up his eyes to see his surroundings, "Wow" escaped his lips.
As the words were flowing to Tom's ears, his brain was tizzy in another frequency. What he saw were not men, what he is seeing are beasts.Men butchering men for greed. Greyhounds ripping off virgins for mystical traditions. Who says wisdom comes with age? Then does it mean that all these grey hounds are not grown or their wisdom has left them. His head was just waltzing, it was just rolling like a celestial spiral."From here, I will lead you back to the era where none of these exists. The era of peace which mankind abhors so much. A time my little boy, when people understood what nature is and how they lived with it. They loved nature, they dined with it, and talked to it and cohabited with it. That was when the sky was still clear blue, and the sun pure yellow. That was when the earth was still a podium for choristers

Tom's eyelids stretched and fluttered as he came to himself. He staggered a little bit, danced around for a while before finding his footing. He craned his neck, covering his eyes to shield the abrupt shot of light after the limbo journey. What he saw was a clear and pristine land, barren but supple. He couldn't say if it was dawn, twilight or dusk, everything was bathed in sepia and the figures were like things that can never exist on earth. He could make out the long and obtrusive mountains with cratered peaks. They stood like flat and lazy bears and didn't look imposing at all like the mountains he knows in Greece. They were like drawings on a dreamy canvas. He turned to the man before him and questioned… "where is this? Where are we? " his puzzled eyes never leaving the older man. "This is, " the older man took a breath, "the magic era. "
Tom was wandering around the mountain range looking at the people who were living there. He could see and feel the ooze of happiness flowing from them. Little children and their mothers chasing after them giggling like they struck gold. Their face was literally glowing and Tom couldn't feel more for fear of going numb. It was as if he was living in his dreams which is almost true save that this dream is more corporeal. He turned to look at a woman arranging some sticks when she blurted out something that made his heart jump, tumble and roll over. It has always been what he has been hoping for. The thing that rules his dreams. "If this is a dream please Horemakhet I don't wanna wake" Tom said. "Senapio! " the woman shouted and the wood she was holding up sna
He was moving through a hazy cloud being transported to another place. Along the way he sensed the presence of Horemakhet however, the man was nowhere to be seen. He ignored the sensation, he is now used to all these abnormalities. The clouds were flying fast and the breeze were very cozy almost feeling like a warmly heated house. Suddenly, he felt ground, his feet planted in a patch of carpet grass, he stretched his eyes to see the horizon and what he saw also gave him the thrills. He was on a hilly part of a village he realized. Cracking his tiny neck, he trudges forward to see what was there in the valley. Pumping his air canvass as he walked, he arrived at the edge of the hill, and spread his eyes to the edges and ridges of the hill before bringing it back to the valley below him. What he saw was a mysterious wonder that left his mout
He felt fulfilled. He felt happy. What he had seen left him satisfied. If the world will go back to this era, who knows? Everything might be fine.A light breeze blew around him and he turned himself to see. There was Horemarkhet perched on a humongous beast that resembled a rhinos. He sat atop the beast like the god of war. The sight was very imposing, nevertheless, nothing can stir Tom's mind now which is as tranquil as a holy sea.The voice of Horemarkhet boomed across the grassland to Tom."It's time to go back Tom. Mount the beast." He commanded.
There on the dry and golden desert grounds there was a red tape guarding the whole place making it look as if a house was just bombed. Men on green scooted around the place like weary ants drained by lifting food seven time heavier than them all day.There in the midst of all those brawls stood a light red haired officer with a walkie-talkie nestled in his hand and chest murmuring some harsh reports. A tiny girl squeezes his fingers tighter while her eyes were all set with an unquenchable flame that seem to passed through some dousing attempts from the tears in her eyes. She was staring at the cordoned humongous pyramid with such earnest gusto and love that she seemed to even possess a psychic connection to it
Where to work, she did not know. She just wanted to have something to do to occupy her mind and soul. At least she knows she can't finish this college if she doesn't find such an endeavor to invest herself. She just have to stroll more like wander some more and some random store might take her. After all she is a college student and that is more than enough qualification for most stores within this vicinity. And so she strolled down the street for what was about four hours for a sane mind but not even worth noting for Heidi who needs the stroll more than she needs the job. And now, she has strolled from street to street, across streets and into suburbs and now back at her own street. And absentmindedly strolling to her place when she heard a call, no, more like a cry! The sharp type that pierces through mental imbroglio. "What are you doing here?!" she turned though all so like a robot to understand where the screamer is coming from. And when her head registered the figure all she co

Just as she successfully lung the door to her apartment open, sheslumped on the sofa chair nearest to her So tired was she anddirty that confessions to a pope might not even was them away.Tough were the demands of the day. thanks to her upbringing.tough she is too. Dozing off on the sofa chair and about to get therest her brain deserves, she heard a rap on the door. it was sharpand impatient sending her tired brain up again into frenzyWho could it be? she thoughtSearching her memory and rummaging through her debt list. no
"You love the prison. ""Yeah… " she slurred, eyes still transfixed on nothing in particular. "Why so? ""Gives me a befitting home.""How's that? ""Chains properly as I should be. ""You think you're a maniac? ""Yeah, I know that. ""The world ain't for us. " the other young lady sighed. "I ain't ask for any world, I only asked for mine. ""So, sorry. ""Ain't no full-time. " and she finally exhaled.He blew at the leaves and slowly, almost imperceptibly a lick of fire started forming and grew on to devour the leaf and even furthermore, to burn his fingers. This brought him out of his reverie, lost to his first wonders of magic. Over on some other side of the world, an old man stopped on his tracks, hoed his beards with his fingers and made an about turn with such haste to where his heels had faced. Things are beginning to get interesting and this is the first of the episodes, mankind, see your lost child. He ran all the way to the Hut fearing that someone, someone else, someone
He felt surprisingly embarrassed when he stopped some metres off from where the chase began and stood hands on his knees panting like a starving panda thrown into the deep wilderness. How foolish was he to think, nay, to believe that whatever it called, magic or not, will effectively save him from the menacing growls of a hunger-struck Lion. Thanks to his fate, the lion was wounded, tired and bereft of any atom of energy and most importantly, will. If not, pray he's not the stubborn praying mantis the finds peace at the belly of the fowl. Freedom is taking another meaning to Tom right now and no, it's not the freedom to believe, it is the freedom to live. "I must leave this forest now," a mental note forms of its own accord in his head. He took recognisance of it and off like the Willy hillbilly traditional cum primitive hunter he has become, he left the plateau and down the hilly slope he sled. Life is bubbling within him and… "life is bubbling within me. " he halted. Sharp like a

She grins exposing some good and chipped set of white teeth sprinkled among brown and dead ones. her lips are overhanging the teeth, drooping more than normal leftward and never leaving the lower lip at the edge. She stirs her putrid eyes as she stirs the putrid contents of the putrid pot. life stirs within her and an enthralled chatter that the African monkies will strive to mimic excaped her lips. a fang of a tongue creepily rolls out of her mouth as if having its own life as the happin

" I've found you Rose." he swatted out the droplets of rain from his face and the beard."You ran through the rain." Rose stated which was more like asking, quivering and holding up on her own drenched in the rain."Yes, of course, I have to come after you," a little bit of unease in which Rose found time to turn her back to him, prepping to jump down from the precipice of the roof and into the night sky or so it seemed."You didn't need to run away. Especially like that." he walked up to her, coming close enough to swing his arm around her, only to be ward off by an invisible barrier, something is wrong with Rose."What's up with you dear? you seem to be blowing off heat. Are you okay?" he was deeply worried." I made the run for it because he wanted to use me for his rituals."" What?!" Tom was immediately enraged. he felt like he was suffocating, all breath and life has gone out of him and his eyes have lost its light. He turned like a gladiato
