The inspector stood up from the office chair to meet Monica in looping confident strides.

Monica stood frozen, eyes wide in fright. Sudden fear embraced her as she tried to put on a fearless face. She mentally calculated the seconds in the inspector steps.

I have five seconds to think of what to do. Five seconds to act normal. Five seconds to calm my troubled heart.

The inspector took a step then another step. Then another...

I have two seconds. Monica, you have two seconds. Act fast!

Monica gulped and gave the inspector a mentally rehearsed glare even when her heart was pounding against her rib cages.

    "Based on my experience, they are two types of people in the world; people who use foul means to survive and people who play fair even if they lose. Which section do me and you belong to? The former or the latter?" The inspector studied Monica shocked expression and continued. "Let's try and find the right answer." "Let's go!" Monica said trying to open the doorknob that the inspector held firmly. Amidst the fear that was erupting through her, she noticed the mole that sat closely beside the inspector's nose and the outstretched of veins on his hand. "I have a gift for you. I am not sure if it will be a gift or toxin." His voice increased in pitches with each word he spoke.

    Daniel surprised them when he entered the dock and placed his lips on Christabel own. Christabel swollen eyes were wide in shock, well, that was unexpected. Not caring about where they were he kissed her so fiercely that Christabel gasped from breath. One could hear the 'uhmmm' 'hmmm' and gasps from the spectators as he clashed his tongue with hers, bending her head in a good position, wrapping his huge arms around curvy form possessively and pressing her breasts firmly against his hard chest and abs that Christabel had stroke before, all this was happening right inside the court! The kiss was so erotical - like they were having sex with their mouths. Making love as certainly as if they were both naked and squirming together in bed. So dominative and domineering - like they were commemorating each other for eternity, con

    💥💥💥 22 February 2010. The afternoon sun saturated the prison edifice in its golden, cosy light. Specks of dust particles seemed to dance in the shaft of the bright glow, slanting the prison windows. The blotched sun seeped through the canopy of tall trees scattered around the prison wall, creating mysterious and grotesque shadows of the heavily breathing prisoners. A group of wild prisoners encircled Christabel, each deriving fun from her wounded form. &

    23 January 2008. The movement of squirrels rustlingcoconut and palm trees fonds throbbed Christabel's ear. Seated on the small balcony of their house, she could perceive the early morning air tinged with the ripening of mangoes: both fresh and rotten ones. Sheep, goats, and hens loaded the ventilated surrounding with their droppings. Knowing fully well that she would be the one to clean and sweep away the mess she squeezed her face and nudged her nose. From a notable distance, she could hear the bleating of goats, the crowing of mature gallinaceous-cocks, and people squealing greetings across cemented and uncemented compound walls. "Don't rape her! No, don't

    In the company, Christabel sat beside Daniel in the lobby. "I heard they are many people with this red bracelet in India. When the bracelet comes off, your wish will come true, until then, it will protect the person like a charm. I can't say I understand how difficult it is for you. It must have hurt a lot." Christabel said and wrapped the bracelet around Daniel's wrist."A gift?"Christabel chuckled lightly. "No, it is a gift from Sarah.""Your sister is really nice, she sure knows what to do.""Are you saying I don't know what to do?" Christabel giggled, hoping the laughter would make her forget her pain for a long period of time."Oh, oh. I don't say that. Are you jealous? Well, you should have got the gift..."Christabel looked into his clear eyes for a few seconds and smiled - a smile that seemed to say don't smile too much because you have many problems.

    Christabel had no inkling that her team leader will die; that a time will come when she will leave this fucked-up world behind. Nobody had ever hoped to die prematurely even when life sucks...As she stood in the balcony she watched the rising sun casting golden shadows on buildings and the flowers from the garden shimmering in the soft yellow light of the setting of the sun. Looking at the sun effect on everything her gloomy eyes made contact with made her envy how peaceful the non-living things were.Tears dropped from her eyes when she recalled the abyss Precious death brought. Hot air had slashed through her flesh, panned into her soul and shot straight to her marrow as she beheld the rigid body of her team leader. The thoughts of her shrinking when she saw the inordinate expansion of her temple, and the ghastly pallor of her skin made Christabel finger cold at the tips, made the meaning of life crumbled. Precious last words re-echoed

    Dedicated to bisolalayo thank you so very much for the votes, comments and reads! I am grateful. Check her book if you are a fan of teen fiction...💙💥💥💥They are different kinds of people in this world and we all fell into different categories...and just like Monica, some women are always ready, ever ready to obtain what they are obsessed with even if it cost their all. They don't care who they hurt in the process, whom their greediness or actions maimed and destroyed, all they ever wanted was to get what they crave for. Then in an attempt to go for what they want - at all cost, they covered up their actions with lies, more lies. Lies, fibs and more lies until they got what they want. Monica was just like that, a replica of the above.
