Pastor Solomon took time to find out when visitors are allowed to visit inmates. He tried several times to see Dr. Charles but did not succeed. One of the reasons was that Dr. Charles refused to see or entertain any visitor. Since he has no family, those who usually come to see him are the Press. He knew they were not trying to see him because they loved him but because they wanted to make a story and money out of him. However, the day he was told that it was Pastor Solomon that wanted to see him he resolved to see Pastor Solomon because of the respect he has for him, he felt it to be an honor to be visited by a renowned and famous man like Pastor Solomon. Hence, he gave Pastor Solomon an audience. "Dr. Charles, you have a visitor," the prison warder said."I do not want to see anyone tell whoever they are to go away," Dr. Charles replied."Do you know who it is that has come to see you? They said he has come several times to see you but you turned him down as you do everyone who came
Pastor Solomon was already seated and waiting when Dr. Charles arrived. Dr. Charles sat down and reached out for a phone and started a conversation with Pastor Solomon. Pastor Solomon persuaded Dr. Charles to tell him his story. But Dr. Charles put up a lot of arguments about why he would not tell his story until he makes Mr. Robert Griffin tells the story himself while he records it. However, after much persuasion from Pastor Solomon, Dr. Charles opened up and started the narration of his story."I was twelve years old and my little sister was ten years old. My father lost his job when I was five and could not secure another job. He was sacked for being stuck in traffic. He had no car, so he went to work in a public vehicle. That day, there was an accident on the road which led to a traffic jam. Before the police could clear the traffic jam, he was already two hours and thirty minutes behind the time he was supposed to be at his workplace. When my father finally arrived, his boss inv
The visit of Pastor Solomon was postponed to one week later because of the routine cell-by-cell search that was done that week which took more time than usual. The week later, however, he succeeded in having the chance to sit and discuss with Dr. Charles again."Pastor Solomon, I want to thank you for all the presents you sent to me. I receive them all. Thank you for all the care. You have indeed become the family that was taken from me by that monster," Dr. Charles said."All glory to God, Dr. Charles. Please don't mention it. So, how have you been?" Pastor Solomon asked."I am still alive. I am doing my best to survive each day. It is quite tough here, however, don't worry about me, I have decided my future," Dr. Charles replied."Your future can be Redefined, you never can tell. Besides, God is able to change your future," Pastor Solomon was interrupted."God does not know who I am. If He does, then He hates me and doesn't care about me. I would have said that He does not exist that
"Excuse me, sir," Miss Jackson said."Yes, you are excused. I noticed you have been following me for some time now, young lady. Why and who are you? Pastor Solomon asked. "I am sorry about that, Pastor Solomon. I just wanted to approach you in a place that is a bit private and secure, sir," Miss Jackson was interrupted by Pastor Solomon."Why is that, young lady? And how do you know my name?" Pastor Solomon, being careful, asked. "Please, Pastor, I don't mean any harm. You are popular and even a child knows you. I am a journalist, Miss Jackson by name. I have been making research on Dr. Charles and Mr. Robert Griffin for seven years now, sir. I am about to arrive at the end of my findings. The only thing I needed was to interview Dr. Charles. Unfortunately, he has vehemently refused to give me an audience just like every other journalist. As the only one he has agreed to see, and I am sorry to let you know that I have been following you to know you have visited him over three times,
"That is my phone ringing. Where is it? Yes, there it is," Pastor Solomon said, as he picks up his phone on top of his bed in his bedroom."Hello, Dad. It is your son, Michael," Pastor Solomon's third son said. "Ha! That's my Barrister. How are you, son?" Pastor Solomon asked with a smile on his face. "I am fine, Dad. How do you do today, sir?" Michael asked."I am okay, my son. God has been very faithful to us," Pastor Solomon replied. "How is mummy, Dad?" He asked."Your mother is fine. She is still the happy and beautiful mother you used to know," Pastor Solomon replied. "Thank God, I am happy to hear that, Dad," Michael said."I hope all is well with you, son?" Pastor Solomon asked. "Yes, it is, sir," Michael replied."How are your wife and kids? I hope they are fine, and there are no issues?" Pastor Solomon asked."Of course not, Dad. They are all fine, and we live in peace," Michael replied. "That is good, that's good to hear, my son. A peaceful family is a happy, growing,
Experience has different reactions in people's lives. Experience can affect either negatively or positively. It also depends on the experience. Some experiences make people good, the better, or even the best versions of themselves, while some experiences make people become bad or the worst versions of themselves. Most times people behave the way they do because of their experiences. Hence it becomes imperative that we also consider people's experiences while relating with or treating them.There are mild experiences that do not last the test of time. One easily or quickly forgets them, but there are experiences that stick with one for a long time, and sometimes for a lifetime. These kinds of experiences, whether good or bad, positive or negative, have a great impact on the behavioral disposition of people. They add to their development of a habit or habits which are a vital part of character formation. This notwithstanding, people should not hide behind experiences once had, to become
About a month later when my mum was about to be healed from almost a traumatized condition our doorbell rang.'I will get it,' I said and I was about to leave for the door when my mum stopped me. 'Don't worry, Junior. I will get the door myself, please go to your room,' she said.'Hello, Mrs. Charles. How are you doing? I have missed your family a lot. You have turned down all my invitations. However, since the mountain has refused to come to me, I have resolved to go to the mountain.'I recognized the voice, it was Mr. Robert Griffin's voice. I carefully opened my door and hid behind a chair in the sitting room facing the door directly, and I could see my mum's opened mouth and the widening of the length of her eyes moping out Mr. Robert Griffin. 'Where is my little angel? I have missed her a lot. You have refused to bring her to me. You see, I brought lots of gifts for her,' he said as he almost forced himself into our sitting room through the door.His question snapped my mum out o
"Sheriff I told you to bet on Chelsea but you wouldn't listen to me, and as you can see, the first half had ended with Chelsea leading Manchester United 1-0," the bar attendant said."I am confident that Manchester United will come from behind to win this match. The boys are used to comebacks. Chelsea does not have what it takes to win against Man City. Besides, the penalty that the referee decided in their favor was not a penalty offense at all. Didn't you watch the first half? The two goals Man City scored were ruled out as offside. Watch and see, the boys will play the second half with resilience. This game will end with Chelsea 1 and Man City 3.I will definitely cash out today, my money is not going down the lane. I trust my boys," the Sheriff replied and carried his cup of drink, and took a sip."I agree with Sheriff. Man City are on form this season, they have won five matches in a stretch. Many times, they have come from 2-0 down to win their match. I believe that Chelsea is n
In the police headquarters of all the police stations in the New City district of the state, Sheriff Stone Stanley, well-kitted in his sheriff uniform, elegant, tall, young, and average muscular, walked into the long horizontal Hall heading directly to the lane that leads to offices. All the police officers stood unconsciously looking at him while he walked in like one viewed in a slow-motion manner.So many different thoughts flowed in the minds of the officers there. Some admired his look, and those who did not know who he was wondered who he could be. Others wondered if he would be the change that the police department of the New City needed, or will he also take the same lane as other sheriffs that had come to the New City. With him were three men in suits, two white and one black. A look at the men in suits tells that they are from the National Police Headquarters."Gather around, people!" One of the men in suits said as they got to the middle of the long horizontal hall. "We ha
