Tiffany lifted her head up to see William's expression. She needed to know if he meant it or he was just joking. William turned to face her also as he gave her a smile."Let's peel his skin like we did in the old times" her said to her with a smile. Tiffany smiled as she returned back to what she was looking at on her tablet. She could tell he was joking with her. It was funny to her how she could still tell his expressions when she hadn't seen him for so long. Ten years to be exact, or was it more?"Anyway, I would love to peel your skin off immediately but I have other things to do here, with Tiffany, so run along. Today is your lucky day" William said to the guard with a grin. He could see the chest of the guard rise and fall repeatedly and a little fast. The man was relieved. He looked like he was about to die untill he heard the news. Immediately William dismissed him, he turned to his boss as he waited for Tiffany to give him a reply. When he saw Tiffany raise her head and nod t

William remembered waking up the next morning with a banging headache. When he had opened his eyes, he noticed he was in a different environment. It was nothing like he had known before and strangely, the smell that hit his nose made him feel like puking. He lifted his nose up as he tried to hold his breath."Welcome Mr William. How's your head doing right now? Do you feel any pain as of now?" A woman wearing a white jacket came up to him with a paper board in her hands. She looked smart with her glasses on. While she waited for his response, she walked over to the side of his bed as she placed the board gently to his side and started checking on the machine beside him."Does your head still hurt?" She asked another question with a smile as she turned to have a look at his face. William realized that she might have been a nurse or maybe the doctor. The younger William tried to sit up straight and felt a pang of pain hit in right in the middle of his head. He quickly returned back to

It wasn't anything important. It was a cat. A stray cat must have gotten into their house through the window when none of them were home. Maybe Tiffany had left the windows open when she packed her belongings and he had forgotten to check on it before he fainted and was taken away to the hospital."Shhhhhuuuuuu!!" The young William said as he flung his wrist. He tried to chase it away but surprisingly, it sat there looking at it with its big yellow eyes. It even twisted it's neck in a very scary way, not for once blinking or moving its eyes. It stared at him for some seconds and then purred at him. William watched as the cat stood up and gracefully made its way to him. Still staring at it, the cat made its way up his body and onto his neck. When it got there, it licked his neck and ear which was very ticklish and made William laugh. He reached out as he lifted the cat and dropped it on his lap. It must have been the cat who had liter his house and made it dirty, he said to himself.

The younger William cried out loud for help but no one came through. All the people passing tossed their faces the other way as they walked by. The owner of the ice cream shop who had stood there to witness the whole thing, who had been very familiar with William and Tiffany, ran inside when he saw William had been hurt.William in his painful state, watched Mr Marcel run inside and as he got inside, he quickly turned his 'open' sign to 'close'. William scuffed in pain. He couldn't believe his eyes. The same man who had said he was like a son to him and had blessed him the other day, the same man had left his son to bleed to death, out there alone.He looked to his right and saw Tiffany and the men who had beaten him up leaving. They were in a red car with a plate number he had suddenly cramped up in his head. William tried to reach out to some other people who were passing by but no one said anything and so, he decided he needed to get to a hospital on his own.With that in mind, Wil

William lifted his head up as he paused to listen to the doctor who said he had a solution. He wiped his eyes as he gaze at the doctor with a ray of hope in his eyes. The doctor stepped back as he moved to give space to William. He held his chin, scratched his head and then smiled."It's a new product in the market and it is very expensive. It is still being developed and to be honest, we do not know if it is guaranteed to work efficiently and bring you back to the man you were before but we could give this a try if you do not mind" the doctor said as he shrugged. The nurses and others started to whisper behind his back.William turned to the old man by his side and gave him an eye that looked sad. The old man could understand what he meant. He swallowed hard and then spoke, "Doctor, how much are we talking about here?!" He commanded."About a million or two. It actually depends on them" the doctor said almost immediately. The old man seemed relieved when he heard the price. Maybe tha
