  EDWIN PHYLIS AND THE TALES WITHIN DARKNESS CHAPTER One Ugly Night A blanket of blackness descended upon the city. Bats swooped and swirled across the sky, leaving their silhouettes against the moon. The old wizard’s prophecy of tragedy was about to be fulfilled. The Feast of a Thousand Necks was imminent. Darkness descended upon Dempsey, a ravaged ancient city where godlessness stalked the streets. The hands of despair crippled the day, swallowed smiles and strangled thoughts. Mischief, however, was far from over. In this world of penitent dogs, the destiny of many rested on the shoulders of the bravest. Fate cuts off the weak. The mighty have fallen. No one takes anything to chance. Life fades on the face of the beautiful earth.  He who dares to win must not hesitate to wield his sword. The sword of honour, the pain of sorrow and the gain of valour are on a different level. But they all answer the call of man. Death is inevitable, but a swift strike might offer a ch...

  Dating: At 41, cheating isn’t a deal breaker for me — Toke Makinwa explains why she believes cheating is easier for women than men Media personality Toke Makinwa stirred debate on her latest podcast episode, addressing the double standards surrounding infidelity. She spoke candidly about her views on cheating, emphasizing that it is not a deal-breaker for her, but comes with its complexities. “I keep saying this thing, when I say people think that I’m encouraging cheating. Cheating is not a deal-breaker for me, but it comes with a catch-22, right?” Makinwa said. She added that societal narratives often unfairly portray cheating as predominantly a male issue. “As I grow older, I realize it’s not just men that can cheat. Why are we always making this men’s deal special by making it seem as if it’s only these men? Do you know how easy it is for a woman to cheat? “It’s even easier for us than for men,” she noted. Toke also addressed men directly on her podcast, commenting on e...

The boy’s name was Jason, and the horse was Francis. They lived in a farmhouse, and Francis took them everywhere they went. The farmer had no wife. She died after Jason was born.

One sad morning, the cockerel said it was dawn. The disturbance woke Jason. The boy stormed out of sleep. He removed the blanket and rolled out of bed. He went to the window and peered out.

Jason liked the morning, and then he carried himself to the sitting room, where his father was on his knees saying his morning prayers....
