《The Curse》ACT FOUR SCENE ONE
Advertisement
The Professor's sitting room at 1 a.m. Enter Ibiye in night gown.
IBIYE: (Looks at the clock.) This is a full hour past midnight and this man is yet to return from office. What kind of work is he doing at this time of the night? Is he the only worker in the world? Well, enough is enough.
(Enter Fayemi. Ibiye glares at him silently.)
PROF.: What now, woman? Why do you regard me in such a malevolent way? What's wrong.
IBIYE: You! Something is definitely wrong with you. Just come and sit down here. I want to talk to you.
PROF.: Alright. (Sits opposite her.) Now, what's the problem?
IBIYE: My husband, it’s time I had a serious talk with you about our relationship in this house. I know that you regard me as being lower than the filth that corrupts the cleanliness of your house. Yet, you cannot deny that I'm a human being like you, with feelings. Barren I may be, but it is only my womb that is barren and not my humanity.
PROF.: I know. I know.
IBIYE: Why do you then treat me like a plague of infectious disease to be avoided lest infected? There’s a limit to human endurance. If you don't change your ways, I shall pack my bags and baggage and return to my father's house. Perhaps then you will come to realize the worth of my presence in this house.
(Fayemi is taken aback by the sudden vehemence of his hitherto submissive wife.)
PROF: You do me a great injustice by accusing me of treating you like filth and avoiding contact with you. My lateness, as you most surely know, is caused by the on going examination that demands that I stay in the office till late in the night to mark some papers. I'm sorry you feel bad about it, my dear. I shall try my best to come in earlier.

IBIYE: Are you sure that it’s in your office you stay every night? What’s in this rumour that says you’re having an affair with one useless girl called Elizabeth?
FAYEMI: (Shocked.) It's a lie! A callous bloody lie! How can I have such a beautiful wife as you at home and still run after useless girls?
IBIYE: Don't ask me. But let me warn you, the day I catch you with any girl....
(She storms out of the room, leaving the sentence hanging in the air.)
PROF.: Ibiye! Ibiye! Ibiye! She’s gone. Hmn, my erring legs are now straying toward the quicksand region. I better take care or all hell will break. (Fayemi goes in.)

However, to do that he must master his evolver abilities and make it through a new world where magic and monsters are real. Man reincarnates into a simple virus. Must figure out how to evolve into more dangerous and significant things. Hijinks, hilarity, and hopefully action occur along the way.
8 83Seeking the Pinnacle
Gong Lu was the perfect prodigy. Born into the position of Crown Prince, he was able to speak fluently at two, and read the works of great scholars with comprehension at eight. At sixteen, his father died and Gong Lu conquered the three provinces soon after. He could concoct plots that spanned countries, and scheme the scales off a dragon. But below the surface, he was in agony. Gong Lu could not live the life he had to with happiness, and deep down, the genius regretted his intelligence. He detested the fact that he could scheme and trick, abhorred the ruthlessness that came with power. And so, he died with regrets. Despite unifying the world under one flag, despite mitigating discrimination, poverty, and dissent, despite crushing all conspiracies under his unfathomable mind, Gong Lu's last words were: "If I could start again..." And so he did. Gong Lu swore that in this life, that he would not scheme or fool. They said that tricks were useless before absolute power. And this was what he wanted. This was what he would achieve. Release schedule: One chapter every Thursday and Sunday, will likely post chapters late in the day.

"There's a place you go when you close your eyes. A place only for those worthy to accept such imagination. Moon is an almost magically created place for children's dreams. Toys, games, festivals, desserts, are an eternal part of Moon. Take a gondola across the upside down space ocean or play dodgeball with apple pie in the Apple Pepper forest. Every child has the curiosity and imagination to explore and discover new places in Moon's vast system. Moon welcomes and thanks you for being a part of our fantastical world!" Or at least that was what Moon was supposed to be, before it shut down for six months. No one knows why but it's up again and it promises bigger and better adventures, and grander magic. However, after a haunting dream and a missing friend, Lily has a bad feeling she can't shake. Will Moon bring back the imaginable wonders it used to or is there something more sinister waiting for Lily and the dreamers who set foot in the vast dream?
