MUSTARD III – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

BAMIJI smiled. ‘Jonah, we are grown men. If anything, I should have got kids their age—.’

He pointed at the students loitering close.

‘So, what more do you think someone my age hasn’t done to prepare ahead? I told you there’s nothing new under heaven!’

Jonah answered simply. ‘You can hand your whole life over to Jesus.

‘You can let Jesus steer your wheels. He knows the way too well, so you will arrive at your goals.

‘He is called Beginning and the End, meaning He’s the A and Z of everything.

‘He knows the end of every trip. And just Him can steer you home!’

Now those words fell on Joshua’s ears as they flowed.

He was going to ponder on them and let them thrive. But like winds on desert blades, the words drifted away too quickly.

They sounded like some echo in the wind.

By then, the students whom the men set out to watch were being scolded by a different teacher. 

Morrow saw it and he went even more upset. Even things he’d got no issue with, upset him.

He talked up.

‘Jonah, you know my study area in the university. You know I didn’t just do English; I minored in Christian studies.

‘So you should know I know Jesus, and I know a lot about Bible.

‘Well, I don’t bear Joshua for no reason. I am a Christian.

‘So, let’s stop comparing our lives with school stuff and biology.

‘Now I think I’m clear, Mr Jonah!’

Morrow picked up and headed for the bathroom. He took out the cigarette stick and the lighter.

Then he hurried out of the staff room.

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

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...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
