The security guard’s wrists and ankles are bound with wires, he is on his knees. The Masked Robber says to him “don't be so worried, we need you to relax”. The robber pulls a long Havana cigar from his overall pocket. The Robber places the cigar  in the guard’s mouth and lights it. The guard inhaled the fumes, frantically puffing on the cigarillo, the smoke rising to the ceiling, the guard begins to calm. “See that’s better right, what’s your name”? asks The Robber,  ”Jerry, my name is Jerry” replies the Guard. 


“You got any kids and little jerrys at home”? asked the Robber, ”yeah I got two little girls replies Jerry. “Oh, that's a beautiful thing, nothing is more precious than children” says the Robber.


The robber pulls a large bottle of brandy from a bag on the floor, pressing the rim of the bottle up against Jerry’s lips for him to take a sip of the beverage. 


“Ah you feel better”?says the Robber, “yeah I feel alright” Jerry replies. The Robber pours the rest of the liquor all over Jerry, soaking him in the alcohol. Jerry clenches his eyes closed, squirming and coughing. The Robber holds the lit cigar just above Jerry’s head.


“Now think about your beautiful children Jerry, think about your lovely home and precious  family. Then think about those codes that open the safe, because I ‘m gonna drop this cig and turn you into a bonfire. If you’re thinking that I won’t do it, just take a look at that fire extinguisher over in the corner. With two extra guards outside of this room. The next guy  will take less convincing, once they see your burnt body. So what's it going to be Jerry?" asked the Robber.


Jerry just stares at the end of the cigar, flaring like a burning sun. “Alcohol and Cigars will kill you, you know” says The Robber.

The News Today

What is happening in the news today? The reality of this situation is capitalism has turned against us and we are fully plugged into the consumerism matrix.  Capitalism was suppose to give us prosperity and affluency, but it gave us impulsions and addictions. We are stuck in the simulation of consumption, we consume food, the McD, Cocoa Cola, takeaway, JustEat, you get my drift? Nike Jordans, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, can you see what I'm saying? TV, FOX, Diseny, HBO, Netflix, you feel me knocking?   Also we are trapped in a minefield of adverts in outdoor billboards, TV ads and social media advertisement every seconds staring at a phone screen.  The chickens have come to roost, after gold was swapped with mortgages to back the currency we use, at this current time and its sinking us. The exploitation of the east for western consumerism can't relieve on the crushing weight of debt, the banks are becoming apps, the bankers are empty suits. We are the last things o...

HAWK & THE NIGHT by Joseph Jedidah

  HAWK & THE NIGHT By Joseph Jedidah The Lil Boots tour bus pulls up outside a 24/7 convenience store late at night. The cold streets lit up by amber beams and a pale moon, a whispering wind subtly floats through the air. Lil Boots, a recording artist signed to Trill entertainment and Pacific Records. He is on a music tour promoting his popular single Woulda Coulda off his studio album Young Caesar. He lifts himself up from his cushioned one armchair with two groupies named Keisha and Molly lounging on an emerald green sofa positioned on the left inside of the end of the bus. Keisha leaned all back in her seat, staring at her phone looking at pictures of herself. Molly, extremely high staring into space. Boots stands staring at his phone looking at pictures of video models on a website, he then puts his phone in his pocket. “ Hey can you get me some Mike & Ike and some M&M baby'' asked Keisha, “M&M? You want some candy girl” replies Boots, “ Yeah I’m feeli...
