FLEX FRIDAY💖. DAYS OF FOREST VISITS.

 CHAPTER 5      Everyone got out of the bus in a line and were grouped into four in a group as they came down. Precious and Steven were in same group along with Gbolahan and Tolu, Precious was the only female. Each group stayed together as Mr Graham made his announcement, "Each group should get a nylon and a watch, check your time as often as you can, and be back here before 4:30, the time now is about 3:30, watch out for each other too, is that clear?" Mr Graham asked, there was a weak chorus as Tade went round to give each group a nylon and a watch. "You two are in same group?" Tade asked Steven and Precious. "That way, we'll be able to scare each other and not others" Steven shrugged, as Tolu took the watch and nylon from Tade. "That's the more reason you two shouldn't be on same team" Tade said. Steven leaned closer to him "What do you know?" He asked. "Everyone ready?" Mr Graham's voice was loud. Tade walk...

INSPIRED MONDAY: Tammy on the bus

     Tammy sat still as she still listened. Today, her mind wasn't occupied. There was no end to the thoughts of man, buh this time, she chose to clear her mind. It had been so long since she did that. In fact, it wasn't exactly a safe idea for her to at that moment. She was on her way back home because of the stress of her work. She shouldn't leave her work all just because of stress, buh in what way would staying benefit her when it could almost cause her breakdown. Tammy loved riding in her own car, buh she took the bus this time. She hadn't intended to as she thought of walking home initially, regardless of the distance of her home from her office, at least, she had nothing to do on a hurry at home, she didn't even plan to go home that early.      Tammy listened on in the bus, it was loud and clear. It had been so long since she took the bus that she didn't know that even the bus sometimes played audio recordings for its passengers. She looked out the w...

  CHAPTER 4      Little Precious still held the neck chain in her tiny hand, buh the man who had given it to her was nowhere to be found. Precious was left alone in the middle of a quiet forest, in the dark and drizzling night. Precious shivered, out of fear, and cold. "Daughter" she heard a call behind her. She turned back quickly "Dad?" she said, sobbing. Behind her was a woman who seemed to have a glowing skin. Precious wasn't so scared of her nature, she hadn't seen so much in life to know what was abnormal, she just stood still. "Who is it?" Precious sobbed. "I'm your mother" the woman said. Precious knew the woman did look like the picture her father showed her. "Mom?" Precious said. "Dad said to bring you, he is with Kate too" her mother smiled. Precious let her carry her. She would meet her dad again, and she could brag to the other kids in school about her mom. *                    *      ...

INSPIRED MONDAY: Life as a load of risks

 There could be so many reasons why a lot of things could most definitely go wrong, because life was a risk. "Life is a load of risk" Sean couldn't stop thinking on this as he remained on his bed. It was past four in the morning, he had nothing to do awake, buh he still was. He had prayed for about 40 minutes already when he woke up around few minutes to three that morning. It wasn't usually like him to remain that awake, buh he knew just why. Even faith was a risk, because, what if faith fails you? Sean knew this too, and he had come to a rightful conclusion, yet he couldn't sleep. What one had faith in determined if that faith would fail the person. Sean had faith in his Maker, his Maker who sent His son to teach Sean how to please his Maker. If this Supreme made Sean, why shouldn't he have faith in Him? He made him out of His free will, then why shouldn't Sean wait on him? It amazed Sean that even when he knew the truth, the utmost truth, he still could...

CHAPTER 3     Precious stood straight, everything was back to normal and attention was no longer on her as everyone looked at Steven who was in front of the class, speaking with the teacher. Precious took her seat slowly. "Are you fine?" Bimpe asked. "Yes..." Precious nodded. "...thanks" she added.      The next day, Mr Darasimi dropped his daughter off in school and went on his 3weeks business trip. As Precious walked towards her classroom, she wondered how she was  supposed to cope in the house alone with her father and Dolapo gone. Precious was initially angry at Dolapo for leaving the house without informing her when she found out after returning home from school the day before, buh she knew Dolapo was leaving soon, she knew what she was going through in her own home and even that Dolapo wouldn't tell her about her resigning. Precious didn't like doing the house chores or cooking, buh she didn't want any other house helps in their house, in...
