Always Watching


(Michelle Marielle Wright Blog-Post)


“Did you see that? Did you see that?” Exclaimed Ivy.

“See what?” Asked Chantelle.

“That brick was totally falling for my head.”

“Yes. I did see it fall. It is the reason why we were trying to run away.”

“You didn’t see it change course?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It was going to fall on my head, but it missed.”

“Yes it missed, because we were running.”

“Come on Chantelle, you must have seen it?”

“Listen Ivy, I am glad and happy we escaped the falling brick unhurt, but I am not following what you are insinuating.”

“It was my dad.”

“Really? I am sorry to remind you, but your dad died 5 years ago.”

“Yes. I know that. I mean my dad is watching over me.”

“You mean like Superman?”

“Stop being funny. No. More like my guardian angel.”

“What makes you say that?”

“The falling brick.”

“OK, but we were running.”

“Last week when I going home some thieves were following me, just when they stopped me they decided to change course on their own.”

“Maybe they saw something white on top of your head and ran. Hahaha.”

“Hahaha. Very funny. The other day there was an accident on my way to school. As the crashed car came towards me, it veered off and hit a street light pole.”

“Looks like you have been having some exciting time in your life.”

“I am telling you it’s my dad.”

“Yeah. Sure. Let’s go to lunch before another miracle happens, like me fainting from hunger.”

They start walking away, but ivy stops and looks into the sky. “Thank you dad.” With that she runs after Chantelle.

Long Way from home

(Photo Source: Common dreams website) Jadim is a refugee. That is what the international organizations call her. The country hosting her is expected to feed her, protect her and make sure she is comfortable until her home country has some amount of peace. She gets ‘aid’ in terms of food, clothes, a blanket and a shelter. She has a right to get them. Moreover she is now pregnant, so she is feeding for two people. She sees people coming in and out, she heard they are called donors. Every time she sees the stream of vehicles she has to ensure her shelter is clean and she puts on a smile. They are the ones responsible for her stay there and they need to feel they are doing something. It also means extra rations that day, so of course she will put on her best smile. Jadim has lived in the camp for 2 years now.  Despite  all the niceties mentioned above, she constantly feels she was better at home, but since she lost her husband and two children to the war, she decid...

Unappreciated Hero

(Photo Source: www.wakatipuchurch.com/wp-content/uploads/Mother-waiting.gif) Kevin was coming home. It was 3 am in the morning. He had just been dropped off by his friends and was staggering to the doorstep. He looked up and saw the lights from the sitting room were on. He tried to wipe himself to look tidy, not like someone who had just spent the better part of the day smoking and drinking. After his futile attempts he gave up and decided he needed to sleep. He unlocked the door using his keys, entered and shut it. He removed his shoes and tried to tiptoe to his room, but he knew it was futile. "Halo Kevin." "Halo Mom." "Long night I see?" "Yes mom, I enjoyed myself." "That is good my son, but I have a question to ask, or rather a favor." "Not again mom. For crying out loud it is 3 am in the morning. Can't we just talk tomorrow?" "No we have to talk now." "Come...
