TEÀRS OF A MERMAID.
Episode one
Dora was in her poorly furnished room, shédding teàrs. That room was the kind of room suitable for mouse and not a beautiful princess like her.
'Why is life so unfaîr to me? What have I done to deserve all these?' She asked rhetorically.
She decided to sne@k into the kitchen and to ste@l some food for herself. Trying to swim away, her tail touched a beautiful frame on her table and the frame fell on the floor, causing a noise.
'Ohh, goodness! I'm so sorry, dad.' Dora said apologetically, picking up the frame of the picture.
'Thank goodness it didn't break.' She said again. The frame of the picture was that of a beautiful merman, it was so magical and it was gifted to her father by the great mermaid in the sea. The greatest mermaid in the ocean was known as Avlar, she was so m@gical and strong. She has a kind of strong magic that she can command darkness or light. It was with this her powers that she gifted Dora's Dad, Evan that beautiful frame.
'Dad I wish I can see you again.I miss our joyful moments.I miss the way you made me smile'. She said with téars dropping from her eyes.Can you please come back? She said this and broke down into te@rs. She was still in te@rs when Regie opened the door.
'What's up?' Regie asked.
'What's wróng?' He asked, seeing Mora in teàrs.
'Please stop doing this to yourself. It will be well soon.' Regie assured.
'When? I want to d!e too.' Dora said.
'Please don't say that, you will not...
Regie couldn't complete the statement because, he was interrupted by Mora.
'Dora, mother said you should clean up her ro...
'Gettout, you fóól'. Regie commanded. Mora swam away in ànger.
'Regie, I have go go and do that work now.' Dora said.
'I'll go with you.' Regie said and they left together. They swamed quickly into the room and Regie helped to make the work easy. All mermaids must posses magical powers but then, Tyler, the mother of Regie and Mora had seized Dora's m@gical powers.
After that, they sneaked into the kitchen to ste@l some good.
While eating, Regie asked for something.
'Can you please accompany me to the human world tomorrow?

JASMINE AND THE GHOST
Chapter 1
Jasmine had been fast asleep in her room oblivious to the chaos unfolding just a few doors down. She had only been at Ravenwood university for a month having enrolled after the summer break.
The two incidents that had occured before her arrival had been whispered about in hushed tones by some students but jasmine had paid little attention thinking it was just typical college drama.
But now, as she walked into the hostel she was met with a sight that made her blood run cold. Students were scattered everywhere some standing in shock, others crying uncontrollably and a few too traumatized to even shed a tear. Jasmine scanned the room trying to make sense of the scene before her.
That's when she saw a girl lying facedown on the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood.
Jasmine's heart skipped a beat as she felt a chill run down her spine. She had never seen anything so gruesome in her entire life.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S GHOST ROOMMATE
Identical impersonator
CHAPTER TWENTY TWO 2️⃣2️⃣.
.
Story by: SUC WRITES
*
Axel struggled to survive in Sweden alone without requesting anything from his father, but surviving alone wasn’t as easy as he thought, pushing it through made him realized that he has been depended on his father for over thirty years while his mates were working hard to make a living; including his twin brother, Asher. While growing up, he saw no reason to work hard, because even if he try he is always below his brother, so no one ever notice. Due to that, he made up his mind to stop trying to impress others, and just live to the fullest, having fun and lavishing his parents money.
*
He alighted from his power bike and entered a gym to work out, he gave the receptionist his membership card, and she worked on it for a while.
“Sir, your membership has expired, you have to renew your section.” The receptionist said.
“What? You can’t be serious. I’m on your best plan.”
“?” Lucas said.
“Then let’s go for plan B.” Asher said.
“
“A lot of things.” Asher shouted.
“
“What year are you?” Charles asked.
“Pardon?” Doctor Thomas said, confused.
“Are you a first- year doctor or second.”
“Oh, I’m a third year doctor, sir.” Doctor Thomas said with a smile.
“Exactly my point, why is a third year resident the Doctor in charge of a VVIP patient?” He shouted, and they recoiled together, startled.
“Sir, I’m not the Doctor in charge of her, Professor Kelvin is the one in charge but he is in a conference meeting now, that’s why I came over as a stand in.” Doctor Thomas said, and Charles let out a sigh of relief.
“Then you should’ve said that earlier.” Charles said.
“Professor Kelvin?” Lucas repeated, wondering why the Professor bares same name as his brother; when he heard footsteps approaching, and he turned to see his brother.
“What? It’s really Kelvin? Why is Kelvin her Doctor?” He muttered.
“Mr. Charles, I apologize for the inconvenience, please can we go to my office?” Professor Kelvin said.
“Is it just me? But, I felt like something doesn’t feel right with her.” Charles said.
“Sir, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but she is in coma, so we can only do little things for her.” The Professor defended.
Charles gave Piper a last look, and divert his gaze to the doctor. “Let’s go to your office.”
“This way sir.” The professor said.
Piper appeared in the room and went to Lucas.
“Wny’re you here? Where is Asher?” Lucas asked.
“We will meet in his car. Did you figure anything out?” She asked. “I might, let me go after them.” He said, and trailed after the doctors.
Piper stared at his retreating back, and looked at her lifeless body when a nurse went in. The nurse injected something to her drip, and she started feeling weaker as the machine sounds different.
“What’s that, are they injecting something harmful in my drip?” She muttered weakly- before she passed out.🌹THE BILLIONAIRE’S GHOST ROOMMATE 🌹 🌹Identical impersonator 🌹 🕊️CHAPTER TWENTY TWO 2️⃣2️⃣.🌹🌹 .

"Leadership is not about being in charge, it's about taking care of those in your charge."
In "Leaders Eat Last," Simon Sinek explores the dynamics of effective leadership and team cohesion. 7 key lessons from the book:
1. The Role of Trust in Teams
Sinek emphasizes that trust is the foundation of any successful team. When team members trust each other and their leaders, they are more likely to collaborate effectively and support one another, creating a strong sense of unity.
2. Leaders Serve Their Teams
The title of the book reflects a core principle: true leaders prioritize the well-being of their team members. By putting the needs of others first, leaders foster an environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute.
3. Create a Circle of Safety
Sinek introduces the concept of a "Circle of Safety," which encompasses the team members and protects them from external threats. When leaders create this safe environment, individuals feel secure enough to take risks and express themselves without fear of negative consequences.
4. The Importance of Empathy
Empathy is highlighted as a crucial trait for effective leadership. Leaders who understand and relate to the experiences and emotions of their team members can build stronger connections and foster a more supportive workplace culture.
5. Shared Values and Purpose
Sinek argues that teams with a shared sense of purpose and values are more cohesive and resilient. When everyone is aligned with a common goal, it enhances motivation and commitment, leading to greater overall success.
6. Encourage Open Communication
Open and honest communication is vital for team dynamics. Sinek stresses that leaders should encourage dialogue and feedback, allowing team members to voice their concerns and ideas, which can lead to innovative solutions and improved morale.
7. Celebrate Collective Success
