A loving sister's letter to her brother

By: Ayanda Mnculwane  Thank you, Admiral.  You aren't late.. I just mentioned to my tribes that I appreciate all their love while I walk on this earth.. Those who believe they'll meet me after death have missed my essence; and I probably won't be able to repeat myself with the kind of time I have right now.. Thank you for the acknowledgement.. You know that my babies will hear about it from me, here and now.. In death, there are special messages and secrets kept for those who actively look for you.. It's not the people who enjoyed lunch and a prayer at the funeral.. 😐 I no longer give advice. I listen, and hope whomever is sharing catches what they need to in their time with me..  I am still here, and still available; but my boundaries are cemented.. I appreciate the wisdom that allowed it to be so. ❤️🙏🏾 Thank you again, Soldier. Fight the true battle. And never be shy of standing alone sometimes.. 🌻 Love hard, and live light. Always do right with yourself.. 💐

Beyond the threshold from the polite waiting room, the Interviewee made a brisk walk up a short flight of stairs, ushered by Julia Editorialia: a Senior among the Editors at The Newspaper.   The Interviewee took it all in very quickly: at first quick glance, everyone knew the game, the machine was so well-oiled.   The Newsroom was glorious to behold to the Interviewee – The Otaku journalist who Won Awards for being such a treasure to employ, at first glance. Open pan , Ota thought to himself as he followed. Ms Editorialia, whom the Interviewee had become acquainted with in the waiting room when the stage had been set for the grand introduction of a great fit to the team, lead Ota into the Chief’s office. “Greetings,” Ota said, granting a fair handshake, gentler than the first exchanged with Ms Editorialia. “I’m Ota.” “Hi, y...

  The Smartphone CEO who seldom touched his laptop. A fictional Horror story by: Lebogang K. Tlou Published By: $LNBP ©Copyright. 2022. $LNBP™. The Smartphone CEO who seldom touched his laptop. All  rights reserved. From the present, the unfolding future felt predestined to collide with a period of civil unrest in the domain of the Smartphone CEO.  Clive had been promoted to CEO in the Smartphone company at which he had been an employee for nearly three decades. “Would you like another cup of tea, sir?” said Amogelang – an eternally-young woman who had recently been promoted from chief office administrator, to Executive Administrator. Amogelang delighted in knowing when to offer the Smartphone CEO a fresh pot of tea. Smartphone CEO Clive drank upwards of 3 pots of tea a day – straying strictly short of partaking of seven pots, always reasoning that pots of tea are magical items in our everyday isekai sagas as a species. “Yes, please, Amogelang,” Clive started, “d...

  Ronda Rousey (pictured) cashed in her ticket to the Wrestlemania main event by winning this year's women's Royal Rumble event. (Photo Credit: Yahoo Sports ) Wrestlemania38 is around the corner, and the weather in Dallas Texas is expected to be Rowdy: with flashes of Ronda Rousey hailing blows at a champion of her choosing.   Combat sports veteran, and the only woman in history thus far to have held both Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Wrestling Entertainment women’s championships in history: Ronda Rousey made an impressive return to the WWE at this year’s Royal Rumble – impactfully entering at number 28, and deservingly winning the entire event.

Although Ronda Rousey ate the ringside apron courtesy of Rhea Ripley – which was among ...

Naomi’s villainous Deville feud

  This saga is nowhere near 'in the past', and wrestling fans may wait for Wrestlemania to see an end to the feud between Naomi (left) and Sonya Deville (right).  (Photo Credit: WWE ) World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Naomi has, for months, been embroiled in an entertaining (where not heart-breaking) feud with WWE official Sonya Deville – whom she met twice in the ring this week on WWE Tv: first in a winning effort on Friday night Smackdown, and again in the Royal Rumble. Sonya Deville entered the Rumble at number 11, and chose to wait for Naomi at the commentary table.   She left the commentator’s desk when number 13, the returning Cameron and long-time friend of Naomi, entered the Rumble. Deville would then savagely eliminate Cameron moments before Naomi would enter the Rumble at number 14 – kickstarting round two of the amazing Sonya Deville versus Naomi fight in a 24 hour cycle. Naomi would waste no time in clocking Sonya Deville’s number, and eliminating th...

An Historic Universal Reign to be proud of

Image
  And Still... (Photo Credit: The Sun ) The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Universal Champion Roman Reigns completely upped the ante at this year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in his hyper-physical and personal title defense match-up against his former shield stable-mate Seth “Fricken” Rollins. Rollins – who brilliantly portrays a maniacal villain on WWE television – came out through the audience in The Shield order (through the crowd), with the Shield’s song playing (visibly to Reigns’ chagrin), dressed in the all-black The Shield ring-wear, clearly winning the psychological aspect to his universal championship title match against the Tribal Chief. From the starting bell ring, it seemed that “The Visionary” Rollins had Reigns’ number – driving the defending champion through the commentator’s desk with an impressive one-man triple powerbomb.  He followed this amazing feat with a buckle-bomb on the champion, positioning Reigns for what could be regarded as the quic...
