"Hey ... How are you?!" He exclaimed  the moment he stepped a foot into the room.


She glared at him for about a minute then coldly replied "Fine."


Ignoring the attitude she gave off, he busied himself on the kitchen counter; breaking eggs into a bowl and chopping carrots. He paused when he heard her hiss in the other room. Shrugging, he resumed the chore of whisking eggs. 


Silently, she slipped into the kitchen "I want eggs too," she spat.


"Such ignominious attitude" He complained with irritation and she jumped in on him.


"Woah, Babe?!" He yelled, pushing her off. Stubbornly, she flinged her weight over him again, screaming. He pulled her off his body with great force and she met the tiled ground with a thud.


Unrelenting, she roughly lunged herself against him but he was quick to run out, shutting and locking the door behind him. She furiously banged the door as hard as she could, howling profane words.


"OPEN IT NOW!!" She angrily hissed.


Fearfully, he dived for his phone. Wooden chips were presently falling off the old door. He dialed the Animal Control Agency, she was becoming something else. Admittance into an Asylum would sort of seem like an act of kindness.


"16 Madeline Henshaw street. Yes ... 12th avenue," he spilled into the receiver.


The door suddenly cracked and broke into parts, "Sheila, Wait!!" She halted, her fists were balled in fuming rage, her slant eyes, casted with pure hate and her shoulders, humped up.


I need to buy time, he silently thought.


"I SAID I WANTED EGGS AND YOU CURSED ME!!!" She angrily spat in an accusatory tone, he dodged it, the saliva landed on a settee and within seconds, the space became charred.


"I-- I'm so sorry, pleeaasse" He begged, faking a tear.


"Please ..."


 Her defense altered a bit "And you'd never complain about my demands??" She softly asked.


"Yes. Yes!" He bowed. Suddenly, the Agents burst in with their nets and hand tools.


Sheila screeched in fear, her eyes pleaded to me for help as three men grabbed her by the head, the other three behind tightly clasped her struggling feet with their strong hands. "SEE-MAWN!!!" She cried, Simone turned his face away.


The men successfully bagged her in the large sack they'd brought along and used a strong rope to seal the opening.


One of the men, the eldest, walked up to Simone "If we receive cases as this from you again, you're going to be sued, I promise you! 


Keeping a Reticulated Python as large as this in your house is damn dangerous, son! Except your special abilities of communicating with Reptiles and Amphibians and other kinds of animals, you're not all that important to the Government" He gruffly warned.


Halfway out of Simone's house, Titus, a sworn rival and colleague tilted his hat. A mock smile played on his lips.

WHY PDF FILES ARE NOT BETTER THAN EPUBs

If you're a publisher or an author, you might be wondering/have wondered "Which kind of digital format is best suited for launching or reading eBooks?" Though PDFs have been a quite popular choice for many years, EPUB files are easily becoming a preferred format for eBooks. In this blog post, we'll walk through the benefits of EPUB files over PDFs along with five reasons why you should use them for your eBooks. FIVE MAJOR REASONS WHY EPUBs ARE BETTER 1.  The Ability to Reflow Text  One of the biggest advantages EPUB files has over PDFs is that they are reflowable; which means that texts in an EPUB file will adjust to fit the screen size of the device that the reader is using. This is especially important for readers who use smaller screens such as smartphones or e-readers. In contrast, the text in PDF is fixed and cannot be altered, which might make reading on smaller displays difficult. Why squint and struggle whilst scrolling when you can read and browse freely? E...

A TWIST IN TIME SAVES MILLION DOLLARS

  “He didn't leave 'cause he stopped loving me. I don't even care about him enough like he did for me, my man owned half of everything I call mine now . . . Not like I was given directly, I earned it. Though there were strings and the places he had gone to make it possible, I worked my way and accomplished. Boyy, dude was so glad about the achievement we hung out in KFC that evening!”, breaks into shoulder wrenching sobs, “I really don't see myself múrdering someone who provides everything I lacked; love, money and protection. Please believe me!!” Falling to her knees, she bent forward until the ground came in close contact with her forehead then whispered, “Believe me”. “THERESA!!”, Gregory beamed, slapping his palms hard against each-other repeatedly, “YOU ARE A FANTASTIC WOMAN. You should consider being an actress someday, y'know! AND THEY BELIEVED?!”, he roared into laughter. She slowly rose then curtsied, a wide grin spreading through, “I tipped the bank manage...

I COMPEL NO-ONE

  I still do not and cannot understand how and why people engage themselves into things their heart or head desired and when it ends drastically for them, my name becomes the most toyed and favourited word on their lips. And their unholy fingers, pointing against my ceremonial demeanor and my glorious standing head. Compelling people to do things they'd have despised on a normal day is so not my thing, but you see..humans would always be humans. Like the gigantic bells in their citadels, my name clangs out stealthily in their hearts with blinded loyalty. Through the times I've been in existence, I see people who do worse than I ever did in The Beginning. The murders, witchcraft, deadly practices in blasphemously erected buildings disguised as 'churches' and many others counted as evil both in my place and beyond, are perpetrated most by them.  Though, all I ever do is 'encourage', I never push. Most times they come unto me in willingness to do the unknown I alwa...
