THE THIRD LAW

Audrey Mary Nyambura

Submitted to Contest #52

Sir Isaac Newton: an illustrious mastermind in his own right. Famed for his ingenuity and proficiency in matters mathematics and science. Three centuries later, and we’re still talking about him. How could we not? From him were birthed three very high-octane laws. While physicists call them the laws of motion, I wouldsimply call them laws. Law number three tickles my fancy: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.August the 15th 2002 would have been an ordinary and humdrum day for most people. Just another wearisome lacklus...

STACY

Audrey Mary Nyambura

Submitted to Contest #51

Twelve days, eleven hours, twenty three minutes, six seconds and counting. That’s the approximate time she lay shattered and devastated beside her daughter’s frigid putrefying body. Had not the police been notified via an anonymous tip about a questionable foul smell coming from a house located in the tiny town of Parkview, the likelihood that she too would have been discovered all dry and bones snuggled together with the corpse of her daughter was quite high.

" The Lord never sleeps Victoria. The Lord never sleeps." Twenty fouryears, four months, two weeks and three days and her voice still lingers on in my mind.

If anything, I'd be willing to make a billion dollar donation to each and every compan...

Submitted to Contest #51

I have absolutely no idea how the film making industry works but if they wanted to make a movie or write aplay about a starless sky,today would be the best night to film it. There’s just but a handful of stars that dared to show up tonight. I could probably count them all. The astronomer would probably have a scientific explanation for this phenomenon but mine are a couple of superstitious hypotheses.Remember Gru?The guy with the long nose and skinny legs who stole the moon in the first season of "Despicable me"?Maybe he remembered to come b...

THE SURGEON'S LIFE

Audrey Mary Nyambura

Submitted to Contest #50

You’d think that after twelve years of intense medical school and seven years of practice, I’d be an expert at this already. But no, I’m still sitting here in my office chair staring at my empty cup of coffee, tapping my foot on the floor so hard I’m scared I might break the tiles, counting down the minutes till the nurse walks in and tells me “Doctor Audrey, the patient is prepped and they are waiting for you in the theatre”. The Nation Daily Magazine did a feature on me two weeks ago. What was it they said about me? That I may...
