《NGỌZI ( Blessing)》INURED ( accustom to unpleasant events)
Advertisement
Three days after complaining bitterly to
my father, he called me in his chamber
and told me he would like me to go live with
his elderst sister (Ugochi Nana) who lived
alone ever since her husband died.
She was 60 years old and wasn't so heathy,
Her kids were all grown and married and
all lives in towns.
Her poor health conditions wasn't good with her
Loneliness and so i was asked to go live
with her and she was a very good person too;
"so i heard from people.
I obliged to my father's demand as i was
Already praying for redemption from my
Step-mother's evil ways.
I left my father's house to his sisters house
With high expectations and thanks to the
Heavens i wasn't disappointed. Auntie Ugochi
didn't just take very good care of me, she treated me so much love as if she had birthed me.
It wasn't too long that i grew fond of her and started seeing like the mother i never knew,
I took good care of her and always prayed to
Heavens that she could get better.
Weeks gone with her and her health was getting
even worse, what was a seemingly controllable diabetes and high blood pressure soon became worse
One morning i woke up to her not being able to
Come down from her bed, wait what? Yes exactly
What it's looking like, it's a stroke.
This hit me hard, very hard!
How was i going to cope with this new challenges?
How was i going to take care of a 60years old woman
all by myself?
So many thoughts crowded my mind, i felt like
running away, but then i wasn't going to be what
I condemned my step-mother of, I wasn't going
to return this woman goodness to me with

Wickedness.
She needs me more than ever, so i will stay
I said to myself.
Not so many people from the family knew how bad
The situation was and i didn't bother telling my father,
Because i knew he would ask me to return home but
then my mind was already made up.
Weeks gone and her condition kept on deteriorating
It seems as though my prayers weren't reaching heavens.
I bathed her, feed her, cleaned up her poo
as though i was dealing with a helpless newly
born baby, this wasn't an experience anyone
should go through not even my worse enemy. I muttered.
Weeks gone to another phase of misery and suffering in my life, till something happened.
One evening, i noticed she demanded for more
attention, which was kinda of unusual, she didn't
want me to leave her side. One minute she needed
Water, and the next minute she was feeling hot and needed air.
This sudden usually act of hers got me a-bit uncomfortable, but i managed to put myself together.
I succeeded in getting her to sleep while i laid down
on the floor close to her bed.
The night was a smooth one, i mean she didn't
wake me up in the middle of the night for her usual needs
another unusual act but i was so tired and didn't wish to wake her up, rather left her to sleep all night long.
Woke up early in the morning to check on her
and and clean her up too but to my biggest shock, she was dead.
The old woman gave up, i slept in the same room with a dead woman all through the night? Heavens!!
I immediately felt sick in my stomach and rushed out to vomit.
Fear took captive of me, i was shaking.
I didn't know what exactly to do, was i to cry out
for help or run?
I ran out to the neighbors house and alerted
them of what has happened, they all followed
me back to see the dead corpse with their own
eyes.
I was devastated and traumatized, the neighbors proceeded to inform my relatives of what happened and soonest the news of my aunt's dead soon spread all over the village and to my father's ears.

8 74King's Genesis
A new game, 'Chaos Realms' is released on the eve of the 22nd Century. Its announcement brought skepticism, as the creators claimed it would be the second world for humanity. But all of that doubt was washed away in mere moments. It altered the very bedrock of society. Hundreds of millions of people signed up in mere days, with many more over time. This story, however, is about struggle. One young man's struggle to become the strongest, and how much of his humanity he was willing to sacrifice. But would the game always just be a game? Or would it become something else entirely?

8 167Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
