Wanted Here – Ch.7 | KT OLLA

THE judge’s gavel struck a loud sound and called for silence in a courtroom...

But the decorum that followed only started a new storm in a gentleman’s mind.

It was a handsome dude in his mid-30s. He went by the name, Carl.

This young soul was the plaintiff on the psychomicide case. The one suing Cannon University.

The gifted engineer had thought through things when he decided to sue the school. It wasn’t a journey he began without making plans.

He was quite aware that his life would be dissected by media people if he was suing Cannon. Yet he went for it all the same. 

He’d seen it coming, the drama that followed. Still he pulled the trigger first and aimed at the giant.

But then, in spite of his awareness, the family man wasn’t ready for the bullets shot back at him.

Yes, his lawyer had sent him scripts and videos of mock cases to get him and his family prepared for huge counters.

But those grand scenarios hadn’t captured the real thing. As the hearings in court became a wild match of gladiator combats.

It was the game of Carl Martinez and his spouse against all of Cannon.

Now Mr. Martinez folded his arms and watched as the defense counsel questioned his wife.

He looked at her now, he looked round the courtroom. Then he shut his eyes for the moment to pass...

For the earth to cave in and bury all their foes beneath ground.

He wanted everything to just go, so that what was left would be just him and his gentle wife.

Then during that moment of pure decorum, Carl Martinez was beginning to feel something. Something different from the mood in there...

He was beginning to think surrender.

Hey Carl... better drop the suit and end the whole thing here!

You just should’ve known you ain’t someone to beat them!

Those thoughts passed in the young man’s mind when he recalled some of the week’s news.

The headlines came back to him.

Cannon University loses top master’s student, Barnabas, to depression

Lucius Barnabas, 23, new witness on psychomicide, dies from LSD overdose —Police

Psychomicide: Lucius suffered from bipolar, drug addiction —Manuel Barnabas, cousin

Everything in the news seemed to Carl like Cannon’s handiwork.

And when the news even went on to hint that his witness was unstable, he knew it was Cannon’s style.

They played their game rough. And dirty.

Indeed, engineer Carl Martinez had got things well engineered from the start.

He’d gone on to prepare evidences to nail the defendant where they least expected.

Again, he’d ensured that it was a good friend who worked as barrister with Pendulum, that was representing his case. So his lawyer was no problem at all.

Also, he’d got more than enough time to go to court. As he was then reaping from a gold field of his many innovative designs. For he was a biomedical engineer.

And so, it seemed the cool dude had got what it took to bring Cannon down when it began. So he’d gone all out against the college.

But then Carl’s cash pool that wouldn’t finish anytime yet, wasn’t the thumping beat getting him to fight wild...

The young man was even no graduate of the citadel. He didn’t school at Cannon.

But the punches he threw he did for love. And that love was one thing he couldn’t watch being trampled over.

Now Carl parted his eyes open and watched his wife go dumb in front of Cannon in the witness stand.

He shut his eyes back and slid back into memory.

Back to the years before psychomicide.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
