Wanted Here – Ch.40 | KT OLLA

IT was another Saturday afternoon; Marcuz had just finished his class.

This was the self-same week that June had her work wrapped up. And it was a cloudy afternoon that Saturday.

Mr. Marcuz López climbed down the building that was his department, and reached the basement where he parked his ride.

He’d just got another cycle since he returned from home. It wasn’t a bicycle this time, or something he could throw just anywhere around.

This time, his precious bike was a power cycle. He’d drawn from the stockpile inherited from his parents. And treated himself to a steering pump ride.

So he parked the motorcycle at the basement park, and went back there to ride home.

But then, just while he stepped by the racing beast, he heard footsteps closing in on him.

Then, just when he was turning to see who was there, a thick dark hood fell over him.

He was capped with black from head down to neck.

At that instant, a daze fell on him as his limbs gave way beneath him.

For he breathed in some gas in the cap, then found himself slumping down in someone’s arm.

Next moment, he was out of consciousness.

◘◘◘

Marcuz slowly opened his eyes. His gaze looked a bit dreamy; and quite weary, too. 

He was sitting in a wooden chair in some old warehouse. So he looked around to observe the place.

He was alone in that big hall, and saw mural paintings filling everywhere on the old structure.

He recognized the wall paintings and could tell he was on one abandoned site of their campus.

Now he took a look at himself and realized that nothing was binding him at all. Still he couldn’t move his hands and legs.

He tried to scream, but his mouth seemed too heavy for this. He tried to speak, but he only slurred.

Marcuz López was back awake, yet he was barely alive. He was there in that place, still he felt dreamy.

So then he became scared.

Cannon has got me at last. They’ve finally found me! O God, help me!

The memories of that fatal night where Lucius Barnabas was murdered, played back in his mind...

That lengthy talk of the college professor came back to him now.

He thought of everyone precious to him. Thought of Luca, thought of Vincent...

Thought of a special friend he’d got little time for. A bright and pretty girl one year his junior.

Someone who then was taking his tutorial to stay around him. Who looked up to him in Pure Chemistry.

He thought of Jaci, the special friend. So he didn’t like to go now. 

A stream of tear rolled down his face. He hoped he wouldn’t die.

But just then, a man walked in. He wore a mask, so Marcuz didn’t see his face.

He spoke up as if he knew the young man’s thought.

“You are not going to die. Nobody’s killing you here!”

Marcuz was afraid.

“Who... who are you, please?”

Those words rolled out with a small effort. For Marcuz was getting better with talk.

So he asked once more.

“Please, who are you?”

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...
