What  is  this  life worth?

Episode 5 The Prime Minister considered the businessman’s proposal for a while and then shook his head in disagreement.  “IB, I don’t agree with you. Whatever network you have cannot be bigger than mine. I have state apparatus at my disposal. The thing to do is for us to activate our various networks to fish this young lady out” he said. IB did not disagree. He nodded his head in agreement and then started making calls. The Prime Minister said the most important thing was the camera or the photographs that will be in the young woman’s custody. “If those pictures appear in the media or fall into the wrong hands, then I am finished, or should I say, we both are finished” the Prime Minister warned. Then he called in the bodyguards and asked for a camera. Perry went out to one of the cars parked at the back of the building, retrieved a camera from it and came to hand it over to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister then took close shots of Armanda on the CCTV and then handed it over...

Episode 4 “What is this!?”, he exclaimed as he stared at the young woman taking pictures obviously of him and Issac Brenya. Immediately, in spite of the fact that he was in an air conditioned room, he began to sweat. Isaac Brenya, popularly called IB, noticing the sudden change of mood of the Prime Minister asked what the matter was as he walked up to him. The Prime Minister did not give the businessman an answer. Instead, he allowed him a look at what was showing on the screen. IB froze! His mouth went dry! What had taken place was obvious: a young woman had sneaked in on them and taken shots of them together transacting their cocaine business. He stared at the screen in horror as it showed Armanda fleeing from the building after taking enough pictures.  “I can’t believe what I am seeing! This is impossible!” the Prime Minister said before screaming out for the two bodyguards he had come to the building, one of his safe houses, with.  The two bodyguards, Perry and Seidu, ca...

Episode 3 Quickly, she steadied her breath which had become heavy because she was excited. Then raising the camera, she quickly took shots of the two in the room. They were great shots. She took several of them as the rain continued to fall. The two men inside the house were oblivious to the fact that a journalist of the 'Daily Tribune' was taking shots of them. Finally, satisfied that she had taken enough shots, Amanda slipped the camera safely into her bag and then, tip-toed away into the rain, with her heart in her mouth. When she got back to the main road, she broke into a ran, wanting to put a distance between herself and the house in which she had discovered the Prime Minister and the businessman transacting what was clearly illegal business. Even as she ran, Amanda began to build a story out of what she had discovered. There was no doubt that this was going to be a blockbuster story, one that will shake the very foundation of the country and obviously cause a change in...

Episode 2 “Hi! Get in.” said the husky voice. Amanda did not answer. Instead, she resumed walking on. The shocked driver waited for a few seconds and then drove forward, closing up on her. Amanda stopped, waiting for the car to come at par with her. The rain continued to fall with zeal. Using her left hand, she tried to shield her eyes away from it. But, it was an exercise in futility. The car reached her. “Young lady, I mean you no harm. I just want to be of help. A beautiful young lady like you should not be walking in this kind of weather all alone” the driver of the car, spotting a bald head, said. Again, Amanda ignored him by resuming her walk once again. The driver of the car decided he had had enough of the young lady's impudence so he drove away with a sudden burst of speed amidst screeching tyres.   Amanda walked on nonchalantly. Not that she would have accepted the lift if she was not in the mood she was in at that material moment. Lifts were one thing she c...

Episode 1 When she left the office there was no sign it was going to rain. The sun was at its blazing best though the wind too was blowing softly, preventing the weather from being steamy. Armanda was on the verge of tears. The last thing she had been expecting late that Friday afternoon was to be called into the Editor's office and told to go research into why incidents of  onchocerchaisis, otherwise known as river blindness was on the rise in certain parts of the Northern and Volta Regions. She wondered how her boyfriend, Enoch, will take the news. They both had been looking forward to the Christmas holidays which were only two days away. They had plans of visiting the estuary of the River Volta at Ada and picnicking on the river aboard the Dodi Princess, the holiday cruise boat. “I am sorry, Armanda. The board specifically asked for the research to be done by you and the findings published just after the holidays. They chose you because of your brilliant work on ele...

SOmeOnE'S WEIrd JumBLE of WoRDs Today I pondered the universe. Today I came to a conclusion. Today I found humanity's greatest gift. I would share it with you but first! Consider man; the apex predator. Top of the food chain in a small planet tucked somewhere in the milky way. We know we are on a timer. For if global warming does not kill us, overpopulation might, and if that doesn't get us an asteroid -big and boisterous might do us in like it did our predecessors; the dinosaurs. If man somehow survives all this then we are certain that sometime in the future, the sun -that bringer of life -would go berserk and implode in a supernovae as all stars do, ending all life in the galaxy. We know this, and yet we do not fear that, we fear aliens?! I beg you to follow me still. Consider a man, one man or a woman maybe. We are on a timer still. We begin to die the moment we are born Drinking water -and yes I mean this literally -kills us. Ever heard the phrase "All systems ...

Flame In My Heart  our eyes are blue and sparkling like the deepest of seas. Your presence, like a sweet, summer breeze. Your hair is glimmering and golden like sun rays. Oh how you manage to brighten up my days. Your nose is beautiful; big and round, Oh what a wonderful person I have found! Your lips are smooth and are well formed, The whole of your body is perfectly adorned. Your laughter is like ripples of energy, That caresses and moves right through me. Your voice carries the blessing gift of music, Soft and inviting with a warmth in it. The smile that i see on Your face everyday, Fills me with joy and makes me proud and gay. You have brought a peace upon my soul And have planted a flame in my heart. You are the masterpiece of the universe, And... I Love You

I was glad on your success, that you'll be traveling on the of success for the thousands of miles away, But somehow inside of my heart, there was a will which wanted you not to go away, I can't live a moment without you... And This anxious mind keeps me awake, I can't close my eyes, Since I'm afraid, There is the heavy feelings; can't carry the weight, The thoughts of you are like treasure to hide, Look how my tears are straight aside. © Farhan Baloch

ODE TO LIFE Like the spring flowers blossom in, so shall our lives begin. We are born innocent of violence and suffering, and from all the screams that the world is thundering. But from these ignorant, feeble minds, will come the future of mankind. And as our youth marches on, the season of summer comes along. Basking in our adolescent haze, we try to live to seize the days. We become foundations of who we strive to be, while still trying to live young and carefree. But even though the stars are for our taking, very few will cease from breaking. As we become young men and women, we must leave behind the toys we loved as children. For, even though we may now bask in the sun, new trials have yet to come. As we move to our middle-age, the autumn’s leaves begin to change. Plans to live carefree and wild have been replaced by your hungry child. Drinking, partying, and sleeping all day are changed into working for your corporate pay. The one who could never be tied down has two smiling chi...

ODE TO LIFE Life is a mystery Some say it's a misery Slithering off like a sly snake when sought Coming to bite one on the nose when ignored Its terrors, inducing shudders, imposed on mortals Its pleasantness, served on a platter of gold A bubbling sweetness, impossible to resist Life, like a clear spring trickling over a bed of black rocks Capitulating at the gentle tug of its chosen Reining back in disgust, indifferent to the undertow of the desperate Life, like a firewater pool Its beauty and sweetness out of proportion A grim lover A pleasant reaper Life, the most sought The least earned © Augusta Augustus
