The African Giant
Short stories In the heart of the African savannah, where the sun blazed with an unrelenting intensity, a magnificent presence cast its shadow over the arid landscape. This was the realm of Tembo, a towering giant whose very presence commanded awe and reverence.
Aptly named the African Giant, Tembo was more than a mere elephant; he was a guardian, a sentinel of the plains, a living embodiment of strength and wisdom that stood as a beacon of hope amidst the harsh realities of the wild.
His massive form moved with a grace that belied his immense stature. Towering tusks curved elegantly, gleaming like ivory treasures against the backdrop of golden grasses. His eyes, deep pools of ancient knowledge, surveyed the vast expanse with a gentle yet unwavering vigilance. With each deliberate step, the earth seemed to acknowledge his authority, yielding beneath the weight of his colossal frame.
But what truly set Tembo apart was a gift that transcended his physical presence—the extraordinary memory that resided within his mighty brain. Every encounter, every moment, etched itself into his consciousness, forming a tapestry of experiences that spanned the breadth of his existence. This memory, a repository of wisdom and insight, earned him the revered title of "Tembo: The Memory-Bound Guardian."
Amidst the ebb and flow of life on the savannah, Tembo's watchful eye extended beyond his own kind. He assumed a role that went beyond his duty to his fellow elephants, becoming a silent protector of all who tread upon the African soil. The gazelles, the zebras, the lions, and the myriad of creatures that inhabited this unforgiving terrain found solace in his presence. His hulking silhouette was a symbol of assurance, an emblem of solidarity that resonated across species.
Yet, as the relentless sun gave way to ominous drought, casting a bleak shadow upon the land, even Tembo's indomitable spirit faced its greatest challenge. The once-thriving oasis with its life-giving waters had succumbed to the unrelenting thirst of the land. Desperation rippled through the air like a palpable force, and the animals of the plains gazed at the empty skies with a longing that seemed to pierce the very heavens.
In the midst of this dire plight, Tembo's memory emerged as a beacon of salvation. A distant oasis, a sanctuary untouched by the cruel grasp of drought, resided within the labyrinth of his mind. The memory, a glimmer of hope amid the suffocating despair, beckoned him to action. With a determination that radiated from the depths of his being, Tembo embarked on a journey—a pilgrimage of courage and resilience that would forever etch his name into the annals of time.
As the tale of Tembo unfolds, the African plains transform into a tapestry woven with threads of unity, kindness, and unwavering courage. Through the trials and triumphs of his odyssey, the legacy of the African Giant reverberates across continents, echoing down the corridors of time. The legend of Tembo transcends mere words, transforming into a profound reminder—a testament to the boundless power that lies within each of us to ignite change, to nurture hope, and to carve a legacy that defies the constraints of mortality.

Authoress Fave Have you ever been in a worst case scenario, where your once wealthy family becomes suddenly poor and begins eating from hand to mouth, and how you have to take on so many part time jobs just to fend for both yourself and your entire family?
Well that was the case of LALISA MANOBAN, popularly known and called Lisa.
She is a pretty nineteen years old and the only child of her parents.
She and her family are from Thailand, but they had to move to Australia, because of her father's job which he later lost.
She is a white skinned girl, with beautiful brown eyes, long lashes and also long black hair, which she made the front into bangs as her signature look.
She is tall and slim in figure, and still had the killer shapes to make any guy go crazy. But all this beauty was hidden behind baggy clothes and huge trousers why?? Because our adorable female lead is a tomboy and she even acts like one!!
Lisa's father came home one day that he had lost his work in the oil company. He was the general manager of the company, in charge of overseeing the funds and finances of the company, but all of a sudden something went wrong and he was instantly fired.
Not too long after, he became in debt and highly burdened by his once light weighted responsibility, and had to borrow money from a gangster loan shark who borrows people money willingly, adds a lot of interest so they won't pay back and sends his boys to harass and beat them up.
He used his wife's mini bar, which was their family's only source of income, as a collateral for the money he borrowed.
Lisa's Dad tried so hard to get another job but all that was available, he began working on a construction site, but quited when he was involved in an accident that claimed one of his legs, since then he became idly useless because no one wanted to hire a disabled man.
When it was time to pay back the money he owed to the loan shark he had no choice than to handover his wife's shop as a collateral, little did he know that an interest has been added to it which is even more higher than the amount he borrowed.
Because he couldn't pay up the interest, every night by 8pm the thugs would appear and beat him up for twenty minutes before going back to their base.
He became saddened and his situation became worse when his now jobless wife became a chronic drunkard and also a gambler. She never seizes to oppress and terrorize him whenever she sees him, because his sight alone angers her.
Lisa had to shoulder her dad's responsibility at the age of fifteen, so that she would be able to fund his hospital bills and also send herself back to school.
Now she is nineteen and ready to go back to school, an agile crazy girl who doesn't let people take her for granted. No damn person could stomp on her and go scott free.
Amidst that crazy personality stood a young girl of wild dreams, and the greatest of all her dreams was that she wanted to become a student in her dream school, a school meant for the rich and not the poor.
Finally another scholarship session came and after applying for the second time that year she was accepted, but she still needed to gather more money for her textbooks and writing materials which was surprisingly very expensive, because it was to be purchased in the school and nowhere else.
After striving to get into the school, she finds out that all she dreamt and thought about the school, was not really what she expected, and things even become worse when she finds herself entangled between the two most popular boys in the school, who are most likely arch enemies
