The Forgotten Fields: Part X – Auto Racing
I. The Roar of the Engine The air hums before it hits... Then - BOOM! Engines snarl like thunder under the bleachers. The smell of gasoline, oil, and hot rubber floods the air. Dust swirls in the light as a row of cars trembles at the starting line. The crowd is half deaf already... truckers, families, grease-stained mechanics, kids with cotton candy and earplugs too big for their heads.

When Christian Blood Stops Trending:
Nigeria is still the place where Christians die in batches. Night attacks in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba. Villages hit in sequence. Churches burned. Men killed first. Women and children running in the dark. Gunmen on motorcycles or in pickups firing into homes and then vanishing before state forces arrive.

The Taste of Faith: How the Inquisition Turned Desire into Doctrine. Content Warning.
The torches flickered like feverish eyes along the stone walls. Smoke coiled toward the vaulted ceiling, heavy with the scent of tallow, sweat, and fear. In the center of the chamber knelt a young woman, her hair undone, her shift torn where the ropes bit into her wrists. She whispered prayers to a God who no longer seemed to answer.

How Oil Changed the Gulf: From Camels to Skyscrapers
Before oil was found, the Gulf was a place of endless sand, simplicity, and survival. People lived close to the earth — relying on pearl diving, fishing, and trading across harsh deserts. Life was slow, built on community, tradition, and endurance. No one could have imagined that these same lands — once marked by tents and camels — would one day glitter with skyscrapers, luxury resorts, and futuristic skylines.

The Forgotten Fields: Part IX – Hockey
I. The Sound of the Rink The first sound isn’t the whistle. It’s the blade. A sharp hiss across frozen ground. The scrape of steel carving a perfect arc on the ice. Then the puck... that crisp, hollow clack as it meets the stick.

Erased Before the Battle
Everyone knows the picture history painted for us. Tartan & Flags snapping in the wind, a desperate charge across the moor, and the inevitable defeat that supposedly proved Scotland’s rebellion was doomed from the start. The word Jacobite has been filed away beside words like romantic, futile, misguided. What almost no one asks is what came before Culloden - the slow erasure of a nation’s ability to fight back.
