    Served Cold II

    The limp he had developed for this singular purpose had become almost natural, so as he turned to close his cheaply whitewashed door to his hovel he did a pathetic swoon and a sudden hoot of laughter to his left reminded him of his task ahead. He managed to lock up behind him, and his hand...

    Served Cold I

    The awful din only seemed to get louder until the half covered figure under the smelly blanket could take it no more, he sat up abruptly his face a mask of total calm. Gingerly he stepped from the bed and approached the grimy and cracked window, peeking over he saw that the sun was just about...

    Galileo Galilei

    Angels & Demons ~Dan Brown Since the beginning of history a deep rift has existed between science & religion. Out spoken scientists such as Copernicus were murdered by the church for revealing scientific truths, religion has always persecuted science. In the 1500's in Rome academics began...

    Tattooed Acolytes

    In the mayhem that is the MCA'S baraza there was a bizzare clash on tattoos and their significance, the thread got derailed on the aspects of middle class but in general it seemed talkers had no grasp on the importance of bodily marks. Below, is a piece from Dan Brown's The lost Symbol. 'The...

    Saving Grace

    The beauty of the Senate is the consistent acts of decorum exhibited by the listers, the swift admonishment of untoward expressions and in philosophical terms a preference of high culture as opposed to popular culture. Yet I consider the innumerable opportunities this forum can achieve, the...

    Dear Emily ii

    As I alighted the psv I asked myself for the umpteenth time, what it was exactly I expected to hear from Emily. You see, our relationship had wilted like a burgundy colored rose and turned into ash. My heart was in tatters and my anguish was palpable, I truly had believed to be invincible in our...

    Dear Emily

    The throaty growl of the caretaker accosting a tenant over something roused me from my drunken stupor, I rolled from the sofa and landed on some empty Legend black label 750ml bottles which only aided foul my mood further and hurt my elbow. I blinked up to the ceiling blankly without registering...

    Belief

    Man is an insane species that demands entertainment to fill the gaps that punctuate physiological activities. Which entertainment surely surpasses that of noble aspiration, to present oneself as much more than an eating, defacating and reproducing lump of flesh? Religion is mass entertainment...

    Sofia ii

    The help at this cottage had to be from a British folk lore since their service always had a snobbish air, from their emarald and plum colored waist coats and their crisp mint shirts though I had to admit they looked dashing. I made an order of a mug of cappuccino accompanied by a croissant to...

    Sofia

    The ache in my elbow ebbed in and out like a playful lover as my fingers moved rapidly over the keypad, I had decided to clear my quota for the week and I was feeling the strain. As I typed in the very last word I let out a cheshire cat worthy grin and stretched my arms out. The soft touch of...

    Unions

    Social philosophy is engrained into our being so intimately it's easy to miss its subtle tentacles, weaving around our daily interactions in the community. Flip on any channel and you can be sure to get bombarded by a torrent of films with dynamic relationships, most are heavily ridden with the...

    Too Liberal a Society

    Amongst the reason the finest minds migrated from Misri was an increased volume of noise from the kababa generation. This is the generation that believes patience equals Mediocre mentality, they cannot fathom the essence of working long and hard hours for 'meagre' resources. As such they've...

    Dear Paula iv

    In my vain attempt to win over my interest I sang in as cultured a voice as I imagined myself to possess, being a country song there's little to muck up so I found the reception for my performance warm and exceptionally encouraging from Paula and her two friends. So warm was Paula's reaction...

    Dear Paula iii

    After a while I decided to leave the establishment seeing as to how the revelers had imbued enough liquid courage to turn the singing art to a croak fest, I cleared my bill and walked out into the night. Standing outside I lifted my gaze into the mignight blue sky and took a breathe...

    Dear Paula ii

    After a minute or two, I left my seat and stalked over to her seat. Already her table was engaged in a series of back pats in well deserved adoration for the lovely song. I gently intruded on their party with a courteous 'good evening' paired with a genuine smile. The three ladies turned to...

    Dear Paula

    Mentioning the name Paula always bring a rogue smile on my lips when I remember this petite damsel. I met her purely by chance and she slithered her delicious poison deep in my black heart. Back in the day I used to indulge in the frothy tar of alcohol we call Guinness, and with it I preferred...

    Dear Esther

    It was a highly unusual day in the school that Friday, partly from the high number of pressed navy blue blazers and the odd scents haphazardly splashed by high school lads on a science contest day. Fortunately my school was hosting the contest so we had a home advantage, or so we told ourselves...
