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 3 – Ch. 30 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

AT Gibeon King Solomon offered a huge sacrifice of a thousand cattle. That great sacrifice stirred up the heart of God, as the soul which offered it pleased Him much. So there in the smoking clouds, God appeared to Solomon—and it was a breathtaking moment to hear Him speak. For He asked a man to make a wish: He asked Solomon to state his need. ‘I have seen your heart and your offering, and I am pleased with you this day. ‘Therefore Son of David, ask of Me anything you please, and I shall give you whatever you say.’ Right there where the mortal man bowed, he knew this was a mighty offer. But his needs weren’t so many to place in a giant offer. He wanted to ask one thing that is mightier than power and riches. He wanted to own one thing that is chief among so many. So He answered, ‘O God of Israel, You have loved David and blessed him in his days. ‘And this grace, You have extended to me his son: You have set me on his throne. ‘Still here I am in the midst of the many people you have mad...

Here’s what God asks us to tell His people in Nigeria | KT OLLA

  Dear Readers, here is what God asks us to tell Nigeria, today the 1st of April, 2022 —  THE PROPHECY  — 1. The Lord said the sins and atrocities of Nigeria He can no longer ignore. He said He will now punish all lawlessness, unless we repent and change our ways. 2. He said it is for this sake that He has withdrawn the showers of rain, and made them really sparse. 3. God said unless Nigerians repent and turn from all lawlessness, there is coming a draught so severe that it will spark up very strange fires. 4. Yet so that God’s people will not suffer or be shaken, He asks us to tell you our readers and everyone who cares to listen, that you store and keep storing up water without a stop. He sternly instructed us all to do this. 5. God also commanded us to assure His people of His promise for this time. He said He will preserve the righteous during these trying times that will go on to try even the world. 6. He said several times over that the righteous will inherit t...

🛡️Safety Call! – KT OLLA

Running into a rock? The times are testing everywhere in the world. Outdoor is the heat of violence and crime; indoors are the worst cases of lack or need. Everything seemed like the end is here, when most people are just starting to live. But whether it is the beginning of the end, or nothing like it at all… well, all of us just wants to survive. We mean, really survive. Like running into a rock till the heat of God’s sun passes. For this too shall pass, we know. But then, a question sometimes bothers us – particularly at this time. And it is this one thing that we often ask: “Isn’t there something we can do to escape these harsh realities? Isn’t there something we can do at the very least?” The whole world had stayed home at a time, till we were all tired of hiding. But home stopped proving to be a good shelter those times. In fact, plagues opened locked doors and stole away our dear ones. We had thereafter fled outside, running from those things that plagued our earth. We hid in roc...
