Still Looking For You.
Sherry walked by the sea alone. It had been only been a month since her husband had passed away in hospital. He had been ill for almost three years with an illness that nobody could name. She listened to the gulls cawing, and she heard the waves singing; though every sound felt distant to her. She used to walk by the sea on this beach with her husband, but he had long gone and Sherry felt lonely and lost without him. Memories replayrd themselves in her mind over and over again.

We slated 1pm to do the open celebration and trust Nickon, I invited all my friends mostly guys. It was exactly 1pm and Dad's friend was the MC of the day.

Since then, we became the worse of friends... Seeing her at the birthday was shocking. Though she begged me and said she has forgiven me that I should do same.

My wish and say is: I have forgiven you Diche. #Fiction

clock
Tick, tick! One, alone in the night, listening to the indifferent, ceaseless motion of the pendulum, can not help but shudder with a shudder: that simple, precise sound always says the same thing: life is in constant motion. Night and sleep over the earth, all sounds of silence, only the clock in the cold, loud measurement of the passing minutes... The pendulum ticks, and with each tick, life is shortened by a second, a tiny fraction of the time that each of us has, and the lost second is never returned to us.

Neighborhood Watches
One thing about new builds, their floors don’t creak like older homes, so when Malik popped up and saw Jasmine knocked out on the sectional, he got up, and it seemed like he floated to the landing at the top of the stairs. He stood there for only a brief moment to collect his thoughts. Malik was trying to recall everything that his boy, Rondell, told him when he was brought here to meet Andre Watts. Rondell, with impeccable accuracy for someone who had just suffered a concussion, told his boys the story of Sticks’ safe house. So, when Malik walked slightly down the hallway to a pair of French doors, he stopped and crouched slightly to peek in through the tiny window. He saw the obnoxiously large desk and slightly chuckled to himself. He put the palm of his hand under the old-fashioned crystal knob and lifted it upward ever so slightly. Then he gently bumped the doors open with his hip. Anticipating some residual creeks, Malik held his breath as the doors silently opened. He floated into Sticks’ lair and made a beeline behind the large desk and slid open the tray from underneath the desk. He then lifted all of the keyrings and placed them on the desk pad so the metal rings wouldn’t hit the mahogany and echo throughout the house. However, when he moved the desk pad it rubbed against a button that triggered an opening from underneath him. Malik felt the click. To be completely honest, it was relief to him because he didn’t have a plan. He just knew for his own safety and for his Moms, little sister, and shit even Dennis at this point, he needed to be gone before Sticks arrived.
