The Numbers Behind the Name: Echos News ZA
Got myself into blogging, again. So I dusted my desk, laptop in front of me, cup of fresh tea. I searched for my blog account which had been sitting there for years — blank. Instead of writing a blog like everyone else, a News Hub idea came to me, and it sounded nice. Suddenly, a name appeared: ECHOS.

Diary of Anony Elle
I remember one time, we were on our way to school and it was like the first day or something. I only say this because for whatever reason my mom had to turn in my sister's birth certificate (or shot records, or something like that) into the office. Well for whatever reason she decides to tell me to hold this important documentation. Now I couldn't have been no older than like 10 or 11 years old, and all my life I had been known to be clumsy and forgetful... My folks called me careless. So why, she decided to hand ME this documentation? I don't know but it sounds like a setup to me!

The Accident
20th Jan, the day when I had a accident. I woke up little bit late this morning cause I just returned home from village last night at 12o'clock. My parents had already left for office and my sister was cooking food. My brother was getting ready for school. I went straight to the kitchen and grabbed the bananas kept on the table and made banana shake for myself.
