Something was wrong, but Cybil’s mind felt as if a fine-tooth comb had scraped over it.
This was her fifth night on Koala Island, attending the annual conference on human science.
From the onset, something felt out of place with the serene surroundings. Her room always yet felt as if some presence shared the space with her.
She had searched the drawers to satisfy her thoughts that nothing was hiding in there, yet the discomfort stuck.
Now she was beginning to forget what she was saying in the midst of a sentence. It had been totally mortifying to forget her name during an introduction. Thankfully, the program would end in two days.
Sinking into the soft mattress and staring up at the orb-like shaped ceiling with pupils, her focused gaze saw pin dots of lens rotating.
Risingfor closer inspection, the orb opened noiselessly and two funny looking humanoids appeared with lightning speed before she could squeak.
Mesmerized, all she felt before sinking into inky oblivion was the touch of a cold object at the base of her neck.
Today’s echoes experienced an unexpected delay because I’ve been on a road trip and for some reason, my photos couldn’t load up on my pad. My apologies.
On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.

Last weekend found us visiting Ajman which is one of the Emirates (the smallest member State) that makes up UAE which comprises of 7 Emirates.
It’s a leisurely one-hour straight drive from Dubai if there’s no traffic, so it’s easily a day trip of 2-3 hours to and fro, but to enjoy the benefits of the pristine Gulf as well as getting a feel of the Emirate, an overnight stay wouldn’t be a bad idea.
A direct opposite of Dubai’s energetic pulse, it’s calm and much slower. Good for a quiet family weekend away.
There are several beautiful hotels to choose from, though we got a deal at Kempinski by making an early booking.
Last Week Echoes took us to different neighbourhoods, hop on let’s go see and we will be glad to see some of yours.
Giggles and Tales You’ve got to love Europe’s architecture and it’s passion for cycling. I remember my awe years ago, the first time I visited Amsterdam and saw all the bikes at a bike station.
Below is my first Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha’s poems portray images that stare us right in the face. Images of love, joy, death, pain, challenges, violation, and freedom. She writes in a language that’s rich in imagery, earthy, honest, vulnerable, yet full of the promise of hope, of loving and of Grace. A collection of light and dark soulful prose.
