Adventure He charged at me, clenched his fist as he came. Never expecting my first hit, I got up and kicked his balls underneath. He groaned in pain and slowly lowered down to his knees. The second man came with same energy, making me grab the bottle of Charles beer and striking it on his bald head, but he paused facing sideways, then turn to me slowly and furiously. He yelled and carried me, throwing me in destruction of tables and glasses. He came almost immediately, and attempted grabbing me again, when I suddenly took a broken glass and dug it in his skull. His eye rolled over as he fell down, lifeless.
"Son of a bitch" I spat and rose, but froze when I saw the third man pointing his gun at me.
"Seriously, you wouldn't want to shoot a lady? I said, faking a smile
"I don't care...Stay down and cool" he said, as the fourth man proceeded with robbing.
"Lower your gun, she's still mine" the man I took down first ordered, still recovering from his pains.
"You wouldn't want to get kicked again by some lady, do you?" The third man asked. But the man ignored him and poses for a fight, inviting me, to kill him, of course. I ran and jumped on his shoulders, using my elbow on his head and gripping his neck so tight with my thigh. On seeing his man going down, the third man aimed at me but got a headshot from me within seconds. Everyone in the eatery gasped, and babies began to cry because of the loud bang.
I could have really used a silencer. I guess that was a coup de grace.

Mr. Ben Having some of the poems in the first edition of the poem collection, ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts)’ published in several poetry magazines as High On Poems, Earthborne Magazine, Deadsnakes and so on, the author has ushered in the second, titled ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts) ---The Reloaded.

The aim behind this piece is simple. As said in the first edition, it is about entertaining, enlightening, inspiring or motivating and enabling people think for themselves.
Worthy of Note: The author believes that subsequent edition(s) of the work would carry the above-stated aim.
The Redemption of an Empire
TND PLUME The wind whistled through the skyscrapers of Manhattan, creating an eerie symphony. At the top of one of the tallest buildings, the lights of an office remained on, defying the darkness of the night. Alex stared at the horizon, his mind in a storm of thoughts. Everything he had built, everything he had sacrificed for, seemed to crumble before his eyes. At his side, Emma, with an equally determined look, felt the weight of their fight. Their family business, once a powerful empire, was now on the brink of collapse.
The events of the last few months had been a real ordeal. The discovery of his father's criminal activities had shocked Alex. He found himself faced with a heartbreaking dilemma: protect the family heirloom or expose the truth to save his soul. Emma, his partner and unwavering support, had chosen to stand by his side, ready to face the consequences of their actions.
That evening, they stood together, their minds working in harmony to find a solution. The past had caught up with them, but they were determined to write a different future. Their business was not only a symbol of power and wealth, it was the fruit of their dreams and aspirations. They knew that to save her, they would have to navigate even murkier waters, face more formidable enemies, and above all, trust each other.
As the first light of dawn began to appear on the horizon, Emma turned to Alex. "We've overcome so much together. We can't give up now. It's time to fight back, to show everyone that we are stronger than ever."
Alex nodded, a new fire in his eyes. "You're right. We're going to fight for what's right, for our future. And we're not going to let anyone stop us."
Their fight was far from over. This was only the beginning of a new battle, a battle for truth, justice and redemption. Together, they would rebuild their empire, brick by brick, and prove to the world that nothing and no one could break them. WHISPER A FORBIDDING HEART
