PrologueRIYA – RAISING INNOVATIVE YOUNG ADULTS. This years RIYA program had been hijacked by a secret billion dollar company known as IBED. Being alive is not luck but natural intellectual survival skill                CHAPTER ONE – ROAD TO RIYA   The meeting was stated for 6pm and it was already 6:15pm yet Roxanne walked on comfortably down the busy street with no intention of hurrying down there clearly because she knew that the members of the youth group were born late comers–on the streets eyes stared at her, she was used to it already, it was not the first time, a lot of times guys have reminded her of how beautiful she was.    Roxanne was a light skinned girl, so you would easily notice her complexion

CHAPTER THREE – HUNTING PARTY     Roxanne successful made it into the building, the inside was neat and tiled like a large banking hall, there were lights that brightened the place“Congratulations Roxanne” a voice said but she saw no one“You passed the first test of the RIYA program, now you shall proceed to the next” Roxanne looked around the place, there was no one around, what could happen next she thought to herself “This test is called the Hunting party… in this building are six professional hunters and marksmen, the goal of all six hunters is to kill you while you goal is to reach the top of this building, the building has six floors and on each floor is an hunter waiting for you, if you kill two hunters before reaching the top floor you will automatically proceed to the next test… good luck” he said and suddenly iron doors covered the glass door she entered from, iron shields covered the windows and the Air conditioners in there went of and

CHAPTER FIVE – CAPITAL’S TRUTH   As early as 5am the members of the camp were up, Roxanne was still in bed sleeping–she needed it.   At about 7am she was up and did some clean up then they set out towards the capital, just six of them–Roxanne, Keith, Amberjill, Alfred, Peter and Fortress. They left the camp with two of the jeeps heading east towards the capital, as they drove through the dusty path Roxanne constantly looked left and right, in the distance she spotted a giraffe and an antelope eating a dead lion, she was stunned, Keith noticed the look on her face“Weird right?” he said“Weird? That’s crazy and creepy” she said “Everything is unpredictable in here” he said“What’s that?” she pointed in the distance at two black animals like jaguars “Vampire Jaguars… They kill preys for blood not meat” Amberjill said from the back seat“What the hell is that?” Roxanne pointed in the distance at a huge elephant with huge snake tr

CHAPTER TWO – BAD FRIENDS, BAD It was almost time and Ariana was dressed, she left the house and went over to Shade’s place, arriving at Shade’s place she met other girls there, about 4 of them, Jane, Glory, Peace and Ronke.   All ladies were good looking but Ariana was the most beautiful girl in the room“Ariana!” Shade walked up to her and hugged her then introduced her to the girls “Are you ready to go?” Shade asked her“Sure” Ariana said, although looking anxious Shade could see it “Listen Ariana, it’s going to be fine, you will have fun I promise you”“I believe so” Ariana smiled.   Arriving the location in cab, all six of them stepped out, the street was peaceful and had few persons moving about, they all entered the tall building and went upstairs“Are you sure this is the building?” Aria

THE BIRTH OF ERIC KANE CHAPTER ONEIt was passed 9am and Nonso was still in bed, cuddled up with his pillow, partly awake and partly asleep, or maybe I should put it that he felt too reluctant to get on his feet. Shade entered the room to see him hugging the pillow like a man with a new wife“You are still sleeping?” she walked closer to the bed, he turned over and lies on his stomach then covered his head with the pillow. Shade jumped on the bed, got on his back and forcefully takes of the pillow and hits it on his head“Wake...up... lazy... boy” she stroke him with each word she said“Oh God you have started again” he protested trying to grab another pillow but Shade quickly threw all the pillows to the floor“Don’t tell me you are still getting over last night” she said and he turned, prompting her to get up from his back“What do you mean by getting ov
