Left with no option, Hansel spontaneously lifted his hand in surrender as he dropped down the gun in the process. With swift steady steps, the police surrounded him and led him out in cuffs. Nelly, Nina and Nelson, on noticing their father, rushed to him. He instinctively crunched down and  bundled them in a hug~ their tears trekked down as they trembled in his bosom.

    MYA'S DREAMLaura kept going down a dark narrow little hallway, following the soft cries which kept drawing her; until the noise was only a thud, not a roar. Huddled a few meters from where she stood, she noticed a glow like that of a lamps' ~ it seem to be the only light in the tunnel; yet so fragile which made Laura squint her eyes to catch a better glance of whatever it was.

" She cried in a near whisper, her eyes danced with unshed tears.It was actually a she not it; it was Mya~ Laura's face intuitively registered her surprise as her sister instinctively jerked up and threw her arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug as if she was gonna vanish with just a breath. Her gentle expression was tinged with terror; fear pulled her smile into

Yes, mum~ I told you, our Laura is a fighter" He added. They both watch her oxygen mask taken off by the doctor and they smiled." Laura?... Can you see me?~ Raise a finger or blink if you can" The doctor said to Laura who just stared at him without a word. She spontaneously lifted a finger and everyone gleamed

    Ben's condition wasn't as bad as Alixies except for his bandaged leg after the bullet was taken out; he was just fine. The doctor had asked for him to stay for a couple of days so to check its progress of which he had been subjected to a wheelchair for the time being. After the doctor had excused himself, leaving him with his stepfather, Ben asked." How is Alixies?... Any news?" His calm gaze spontaneously fixed on Drake who noticed the guilt, fear, and nervousness which lingered in his eyes~ the fear of losing someone dear to your heart and the guilt of being the cause of their pain. This was like a new part of him which he had never seen before." Oh, um...yeah" He stuttered. " She made it through the surgery " With this, Ben instinctively flung his legs off the bed as he reached for the wheelchair and settled in. Drake stared at him with flickering eyes as he spontaneously closed in." Hey...hey, take your time~ where are you going?" He intoned with an attem

Have you already met Alixies ?"His lips pursed in despair while his gaze spontaneously traveled down to his feet as the question rang in his ears. " Not yet" Ben answered, a sigh escaping his lips as he jerked his head back up to take a glance at Laura whose expectant gaze was still fixed on him." Actually... I'm~ "He paused on an impulse and then continued again. " I'm here to ask for a favour..... If you don't mind." He stuttered and Laura's gaze thoughtfully scanned his with a lifted eyebrow as she straightened her back up the pillow which had supported her all along.A sudden silence engulfed the room as she reflected on her thoughts for a while before

  • ENRAGED SOUL   EACH PAIN, ERROR, AND REGRET DEFINES A PART OF YOU

    Tarry not towards the end,Await and appreciate,As you are now,Your sorrow and your joy,Each defines a part of you.Confining you not,To the Limitations of life.Await for yourself,Yet, a new hope,That lingers not in the tribulations of Life,Conforming one to the fraternities of it,And leaving them ajar to the cruelties yet unseen.Rather,Guard yourselves with the bleeding truth,Which suffers in it's own way,But yet still harbors great luxuries.Its tenacities are grave,But reviving to the core,Leaving no elements untouched,And no brooding unanswered.It serves as another urge,That keeps the world revolving. By Henrietta.
