The Thief

-
We were in a car, three of us, my sister, her friend and I, heading for my friend's house, when we passed a clearing and decided to go back, I still can't figure out why we went back, but my sister's friend was lamenting on the scenery, and how green everything was. I was afraid, the place was too lonely, and I kept telling them, "let's go, I don't like this place". I got this sense of impending doom, just being there. My sister was sitting, nonchalantly playing in the grass, her friend admiring the scenery while I was looking for places to make my escape, if something should happen, when he showed up. He was short, dark and skinny with multiple scars in his face. They started making conversation with him, I started to take off my wedding ring and put it into my back pocket. That's how scared I was. Then I noticed the bulge, it was barely noticeable at first, then when he turned to the side I saw it clearer, I didn't know what it was, but I started to nudge my sister to show it to her, and at that point, he brandished a gun, and told us to remove our jewellery. We started taking them off slowly at first, but faster as he got more impatient. when we had finished, he told us he would allow us to each keep one piece of jewellery. Knowing I had my wedding ring in my back pocket, I asked him if I could get my chain back, he laughed and told me "no, that's too expensive". My sister and her friend got back two small rings. Then the unthinkable happened, he started laughing, put the gun down, and showed us that it was a toy gun, but when we made after him, he ran, we took off in pursuit, but I guess he was just too fast for us, because we never caught up. and after all that he still has our jewellery.

Why I Traded My Wine for Weed

-
As the world we live in becomes more frantic and the reality and responsibilities of the longer work day and week continue to increase. It becomes more important to figure out a way to de-stress, to take a breath and to change the pace from the frenetic one to a slower more laid back one that is more conducive to relaxing, especially after work and on weekends. For some it is easier said than done, and that may explain the growing trend among professionals and women in particular to have a glass of wine at the end of the day to decompress.   Added to this is the fact that it has been said that a glass of wine is good for the heart (just look at the French). All of this may add to the growing popularity of trading wine for weed. While wine continues to be the leading choice for recreation and relaxing, that is changing. One of the reasons could be the hangovers that follow the glass of wine. Inevitably, one glass of wine with or after dinner turns into a bottle of wine and you ...

On Smoking Weed and Elon Musk

-
Marijuana is known to all by different names; Weed, Ganja, Spliff, herb, grass, pot, and the list goes on. For many people, this is known as a recreational drug, but for others, its medicinal properties come to the fore. Legalizing a small quantity is perhaps the smartest thing that could ever have happened, because there are die-hard marijuana smokers who would literally die while smoking this plant. Marijuana is called by street names, cultural street names and geographical terms. As with everything else, there are good and bad with smoking the herb. Many have thrown caution to the wind and just indulge in all the highs and lows that it has to offer. As it is with any drug, there are signs and symptoms that can alert someone about the use of marijuana. Users may experience disruptions in their visual, audio skills, or even a speech impediment. They may experience hallucinations, delayed reaction, increased hunger, memory and focus issues, and elevated levels in their heart or ...
