Artful Truth

TITLE : Artful Truth By Sarah Elisabeth 04/10/13 I stared at the blood red paint splattered on the concrete wall cracked by the weeds growing through it. I hefted the gallon of white and paused. This occasion didn’t deserve white. I set it down and lifted the brown and gray I’d mixed in another bucket. I slung the mix at the wall. Splash! It splattered and dripped in the circle of light that shone from the only streetlamp that could reach under this bridge. As soon as I saw this spot two nights ago, I knew it was the right place. The streetlamp made a round spot on the crumbling wall, a circle of white like Grandmother Moon. She understood what I was doing. She understood the cycles of life. And death. I set the empty bucket next to the coil of rope I’d stolen along with the paint buckets. Well, I didn’t steal them. The warehouse owed me back pay when they fired me for fighting with the idiot who called me sissy for the long braid that hung

Droplets to the Four Winds

Droplets to the Four Winds By Tracy Nunes 04/10/13  I looked up from my book at the sound of her uncontrolled delight; a moment caught in time. Droplets of water spread out toward the four winds, held forever in suspended animation. Her face overflowed with the joy of a puddle, mud and all. The world around was inconsequential, its cacophony silent. That moment, the sound and feel of her tiny pink boots slapping the water were all that mattered. No more than two feet wide, yet for her, like walking on the vastest sea; the thrill of it caused a squeak of glee and then silly gut-laughing that took her breath away. Over and over she danced till she finally tired of the game. Breathless, spent and deeply satisfied, she wondered back to her Mom’s side, looking ready for a snack and a nap. As they walked away, her Mom tucked away her phone with the photographic evidence to recall the joy in the years to come. I returned to my mystery, a rar

ODUAMADI JOINS NIGERIA HEROS IN THE RANK OF HAT-TRICK... In 64 years of Nigeria’s senior team existence, only eight players have scored three times against opposition. On Monday night in Belo Horizonte, Oduamadi joined their ranks ANALYSIS By Shina Oludare Scoring while representing one’s country begets great feelings not to talk of repeating such feat three times in a match. On Monday night in Belo Horizonte, Nnamdi Oduamadi scored a hat trick for the Super Eagles in their opening 2013 Confederations Cup match against Tahiti in a 6-1 victory. The 22-year-old AC Milan midfielder scored his treble in the 10th, 26th and 76th minutes to help the African champions to their most emphatic victory ever in a senior Fifa football event. With that feat, Oduamadi joined an enviable class of Nigerian goal scorers who have poached three goals in the colours of the national team. Goal.com brings to you the Nigerian players before Oduamadi who were three times lucky while on n

Bonus row not over – Enyeama Posted by: Agency Reporter in News Update , Sports 59 mins ago 0 Super Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama, said the row over bonuses that delayed the squad’s arrival at the Confederations Cup had not been resolved, but the players were putting it behind them. The African champions did not arrive in Brazil until the early hours of Sunday morning, just 36 hours before their Group B opener against minnows Tahiti on Monday, after missing the scheduled flights on Thursday, MTNFootball.com reports. The players were unhappy about being offered bonus payments of $2,500 (1,873 euros) following a 1-1 draw with Namibia in World Cup qualifying and had demanded double that amount from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). A truce was eventually brokered by Sports Minister ,Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, but Enyeama has revealed that the players were still not satisfied. “We haven’t settled anything, but we’ve moved on and everythi

From Hell READ the August 1995 first draft August 1995 first draft by Terry Hayes (based on the comic series by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell) IMDB Info Synopsis : It is 1888 in London, and the unfortunate poor lead horrifying lives in the city's deadliest slum, Whitechapel. Harassed by gangs and forced to walk the streets for a living, Mary Kelly and her small group of companions trudge on through this daily misery, their only consolation being that things can't get any worse. Yet things somehow do when their friend Ann is kidnapped and they are drawn into a conspiracy with links higher up than they could possibly imagine. The kidnapping is soon followed by the gruesome murder of another woman, Polly, and it becomes apparent that they are being hunted down, one by one. Sinister even by Whitechapel standards, the murder grabs the attention of Inspector Fred Abberline, a brilliant yet troubled man whose police work is often aided by his psychic abiliti
