Fifty-One
Does a child understand, what a mother does not say?
✾
From my position, I could see Yohan crouching near the dam.
He was making sure everything was set and placed on their exact locations. One wrong move and miscalculation we might end up with a bigger problem than we anticipated. Back at Thelma’s place we made precise decisions on the best place we could set it. This is to make sure that there would be no casualties. After all, it’s not everyday people attempt on destroying something big like a dam. It’s not everyday that p

A well regulated plan, can never be counted as an accident.✾ “Yohan?” I ask, my anxiety raising by the minute. He doesn’t answer me, but he nods. We were by the overlook now, looking down on the dam. Or at least, what’s left of it, anyway. The wooden debris blocking the waterflow from reaching both the Torrids and Savanna were now broken down because of the bombs we strategically placed. Thelma was right, we didn’t have to place much, we just had to place enough. Bombs at the places that held much of i
Rules and Roses Fifty-Three
Control how you respond over things you have no control over.✾ The first thing I notice back at the Torrids is that it has gotten hotter. It was already hot before we left, but now that we’re back it had gone hotter. I didn’t realize just how cool it was then already, that there will be a time where it will be hotter. There was already a pool of sweat forming in the middle of my back and Yohan who was silent the whole way back didn’t look any better. Wiping the sweat off my forehead, I groaned loudly.

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.✾ I enter Judith’s hut first while Yohan calms himself down outside. His anger was valid, but it was just uncalled for. From how I met Judith as well as how I saw how she took care of Kofi, I knew she didn’t want this to happen. It would be unfair to blame her for something she couldn’t control. As well as with the resources available, there might be reasons as to why Kofi got sick. I slowly made explained this to Yohan since his mind wasn’t in the best of place when i

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.✾ I follow Yohan as he makes his way outside the room. He was picking up his rucksack from the floor and leaving some things behind in Judith’s table. The old woman was still snoring soundly on her own sofa. She must have been very tired. Yohan pulls tons of souvenirs and food items from his rucksack. I didn’t even realize he had a small shopping trip in Laguna. There were some scarves, caps, and even a small bottle opener. Not that it would be put
Rules and Roses Fifty-Six
Even though your time on the job is temporary, if you do a good enough job, your work there will last forever.✾ I blink in surprise. “Kofi?” I couldn’t even believe my own voice. He was sick, how would he be able to travel with us? I voice out just that. “He’s sick, he can’t travel with us. He can’t even sit up all on his own when he’s in bed.” &

Trust a few, do wrong to none.✾ Judith smiles at me fondly, her eyes going to the direction of where I just came from. “I see you’ve met Martha,” Her voice sounded weak and croaky. When I look at her eyes, I see that it was a bit red. She was sniffing too, I guess her talk with Yohan made her more emotional than I anticipated. At least they were alright now, it would be a bad thing if we left and they still hadn’t made up. The old woman would be anxious, and she might not get the rest she needed. We can’t have mor

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness.✾ “Have you told Kofi about what would happen already?” Yohan stares at both Judith and I as we entered back inside the house. Gale was adamant that he wanted to stay outside and enjoy whatever breeze he was talking about. Not that there was any, it was hot as hell outside even though it’s close to night already. I would never understand how some people still chose to stay here even though there’s nothing here to offer them. Guess it has something to do with risks and unc

Family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.✾ “One of these days, you understand you would have to shift, right?” Tilting my head up, I’m greeted by the hut’s ceiling. It was brown and dingy. Cobwebs aplenty were formed at the corners. Interestingly enough, I’ve found it more entertaining to watch how a small spider was wrapping a bug, squinting my eyes I notice that it was a moth, in a crystallized white web cone. It probably got stuck there or something. Someone cleared his throat
