Rome, 2014
Alberto took charge as he led the way back to the restaurant that they had left almost an hour ago. "We are looking for a restaurant that brings life into a troubled soul," he told a passerby who had promptly asked them out of courtesy where they were rushing to at a time when the sun was taking its stride away from the sun.
"Do you know the young man who just spoke to you?" Blackwheel asked.
"I don't," Alberto replied, truthfully. "It is just good to administer love and decency wherever you go in this world. The young man was nice to me so I had no other choice than to be nice to him too. Can you tell me what might be going on in his mind when I told him we were looking for a restaurant that brings l
Munich, 2014"He is still alive," Clark said, pointing at Carlos.Michael didn’t know whether it was the words of Clark or the sound made from the gun he just used that brought him to a state of consciousness, but it didn’t matter. Everything had happened so fast. So fast that he was unable to realize what he had done.From the angle he was looking at, when he shot Carlos, there was a slight progression of aggression that felt like newly made bottles that were ready to be broken at any point. For real, guns were created for different purposes all uniting to form one sole purpose. They were created to destroy, to conquer, to claim supremacy and to heal the broken in a strange irreplaceable way.
Rome, 2014As Blackwheel pushed his head upward, he felt his vision narrow slowly and he feared his sense of realization would slip away as Alberto repeated the words he had said to him."Maria Blackwheel is a direct descendant of Nneka, my daughter?" Blackwheel said and hit his head hard with his palm."She is your direct descendant," Sophia said. "And she is the one who is in possession of the necklace you have been seeking.""But how is that possible?" Blackwheel asked, looking into the eyes of Alberto. "I was thought Nneka was dead since she just disappeared into nowhere.""There is an explanation for everything, James. Y
Pennsylvania, 2018After Maria was done spending time with Abby, she decided to go back to her apartment before going to the Longview's home to start and complete her job at the same time. As she sat in her small work area she had created in the apartment she shared with Uju, she received a phone call from Uju. When she answered her phone, she realized it wasn't Uju but her Nigerian friend, Ifenna who had just arrived from Nigeria recently. There wasn't much time to talk and she hung up immediately she got the chance to do so. Feeling better that everything was starting to set itself in the right place, she left her apartment and headed for the Longview's home. On her way, she stumbled across a tall black man with broad shoulders who was walking quickly as if he was about to miss an import
Lancaster, 1790Elizabeth Blackwheel pointed at the stake where her children were burnt alive. Her fingers were weak as scalds took over them with a certain rush of excitement that grieved her own soul.Paul Littlebed rubbed his chin as he felt the weight of being an accomplished Christian dawn on him."My children didn't deserve any of this torture," Mrs. Blackwheel cried."So did my innocent wife your husband raped and murdered," Paul replied.He took her by her arm and dragged her closer to a chopping board. Her mother, Mary Shoelace watched."Lord, I commit my daughter into your hands," Mary Shoelace prayed. "Forgive her for the sins of her husband and for the sins her children would have committed if they were still alive.""Amen!"Mrs. Blackwheel watched as her mother stopped praying. She was hoping for a quick death and a sharp suffering. But she was patient. She knew s
Somewhere, 987The man raised his head as he stumbled across two boys playing in the woods. Everywhere was dark. Even the stellar villages that set up fires late at night had gone early to sleep. Even the owls that sat on thick trees to hoot had left suddenly as if they had been chased away by someone who wanted to occupy the territory."Who are you?"The man lowered his head as he thought of his unknown identity. He passed through a tree and hid until the unwanted visitor who had attracted his attention had departed without further questioning him. When the full moon had risen properly, he placed his hat on his head, held on to a sacred necklace and continued walking without looking back.
Somewhere, 987The man was mad as he got closer to the treehouse he had been searching for only to find a bird flying around it without perching. Quietly, he sat down, trying to ignore the bird while focusing on what laid ahead of him.The Woman!The necklace!An unknown woman!He bit his lips slowly as he waited for his unfamiliar visitor to arrive. A woman he had arranged to meet before the full moon would appear in the sky. He adjusted himself properly as he tried once again to look into the sky and observe the irregular movements of the bird flying close to the treehouse."You look like a man who has fallen in love with the spirit of drinking," a woman appeared from nowhere and looked at the man. She was the unknown woman he had been waiting for. Her hair was long, up to her waist; flowing freely as if it had no end, as if it didn't want to end."And you look like a woman who has emerged from the dark," the man replied. "What can
Somewhere, 987The wind blew in rapid successions as the man walked alone with the necklace still on his neck. He felt slightly agitated that the woman had refused his offer without giving him a valid reason that would last in his memory for a good amount of time. When he got to the bank of a river, he bent down to wash his head only to be approached by an unknown man with a glowing teeth."Who are you?" The unknown man asked.The man raised his head and looked at him. "I am a man who seeks to trade. I am a nobody," he said.
Somewhere, 987Blackwheel wasn’t sure of what to say when Alberto told him that a young maiden who he loved was about to get married. There was obviously something going on in Alberto's mind that he couldn't figure out. Before the wedding began, the young maiden came close to them and told Alberto of her decision to avoid him."I am going to get married," she said. "And I won't be seeing you any longer.""Is there anything you want us to do for your marriage?" Alberto asked."Yes!" The young maiden replied. "I want both of you to kill some animals with your sword."
