Wanted Here – Ch.29 | KT OLLA

NOW the man called AT had continued to check on June during her laboratory work at Cannon.

The doctorate candidate equally began to develop some level of trust in him.

She came to rely on him more, as he continued to tell her things she didn’t know.

So, seeing that he’d gained the woman’s trust, the Cannon don took the next move on the game.

He wanted June doubting herself. So he began pointing faults that weren’t there. 

June had been quite confident. She’d been really certain about her work...

But when the corrections began to pour – a thing now, another point later; one thing here, another one there...

No, June began to see ‘faults’ everywhere she looked.

She began to doubt her processes altogether. She began to doubt herself, too.

For those faults were pointed out by someone she had trusted. And who had scored her high.

Things continued this way and June broke a splinter at a time...

A piece of bone here, a pound of flesh there.

Till she was a pile of mess. Like her shattered beakers.

She began to lose her touch, her tact, herself.

And one after another she stopped two of her three projects and stayed with one.

But AT wasn’t done yet.

Yes, the man knew that June could pick up the projects again. At a home laboratory when she finished with them.

And if she did, he thought it would be an insult to Cannon.

“Nobody comes here and leaves us spreading wings, nah!  The real star here’s got to be us!

“We are the legends, the great and prestigious Cannon.

“That should sink in their skulls!”

So the man planned it.

“If this little girl is back to one practical project... like all of her mates stick to one, then it means she’s known her place!

“But then is that her place, really? Is that the place I want for her?

“Big chemistry is in practical experiments. But what have most of us become at Cannon?

“We are more of theorists, teaching the fundamentals...

“So why will this small thing beat us in what we oversee?

“Now I want her stopping that remaining experiment, and turning to theory! 

“I want her becoming a theorist like most of us.

“That is your place now, June Simeon!

“That is your fate, my dearest dolphin!”

Therefore, AT went back hitting harder in brainwashing June.

He talked lowly of the practical side of pure chemistry. And then, highly of its theories.

He nagged about laboratory work. Complained about its lapses. And made talks to discredit things.

He pitched the experiments by the theory in an unbalanced argument that favored his stance.

He just went on imposing his thoughts on her...

Up until she stopped her last experiment, and chose a path in theory.

She lost her confidence to practice.

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...
