DESTINATION FACTOR
CONTINUED FROM THE EPITOME…A RERUN
“A big part of me feels so much at peace,” Tower picked up. “Our remarkably industrious quest through the centuries…generations, many intricate details involved. It was him all along, wasn’t it?! All about him…so near yet so far away. Her light chuckle echoed the heart of one lost in intense wonder. He is finally here! Feels like being released from a spell. I wonder what took him so long!”
“What’s going on here? Who exactly is this child? Someone please explain to me!” Pillar blurted out in frustration.

I LOVE YOU!
Through the iron gates of great impossibility
Mirrored in the face of adversity
Underlined with intense streams of tears innumerable
With all hope descended at rock bottom
Fear courting as closest companion…
There shone a light
Through the eyes of a dove
Engulfing with intensity
Revitalizing with effect
I was suddenly alive
Just like that!

ONE MOMENT IN TIME!
Another day! A morning. At sunrise! One may as well have called it dawn…Yes! Especially that one… Dawn! Sometimes it’s all one and the same word, others one and the same thing. The distinctions on the shades there-in do not always stand out. Because the sting of the mundane renders one too many numbed til it doesn’t really matter.For one already saw it yesterday, there it is today, as expected, with tomorrow a sure bet in occurrence and fashion alike.

INVASION…THE “F” FACTOR
It was the matchless story of ages, the spectacle of the Nations and the untold mystery of world’s greatest wonder articulated in a magnificent performance of the season. The awesome display of a refined synchronized work of art, gift and beauty converged in a grand public statement of the blazing trail.

WITH A TOUCH OF THE HUNGRY RED DRAGON!
The Grand finale… continued from last week’s “The Sons o Balaam”
He encircled his lucrative target one more time spreading over the expansive plain and came descending upon the unsuspecting kindred, ready to unleash terror from all faculties. His indicators confirmed the landmine was in place. There was not a chance for escape, even for the luckiest. This would be the day truth is wiped off the map of the world. Maybe he had something to be proud of after all. Maybe he was really at the verge of making history.
