@voidwritesstuff @screechinginthevoid

After the Tapes Chapter 6 (Sorry if it's bad, it's been written since March and April) plz forgive me. I forgot how to write.

As the fresh March rain hit the cabin,it was about 7:00 am.The cabin was quite.The calendar date was the 25th of March.The only room in the cabin that was active with noise,was the kitchen where Desmond,Laz,Jerico,Lucas and Allen were busy like bees in there.”Alright this needs to be perfect for her.” Jerico kept them on their toes while cooking.”Allen stop eating the buttercream frosting!? And Desmond stop playing around with the pancake batter.Lucas you know better stop putting a bunch of sprinkles on the cake!?” Dios mio!? Laz, can you help me keep the children at bay.”

Laz chuckled and nodded. Lucas,Desmond and Allen all slowly turned to Jerico and frowned. ”yeah that's right I called you children cause you're all acting like one.” They all get back to the task at hand.Allen peered in the doorway to his and his sisters room.Laying in a burrito blanket on her own bed was Z.She found a way to keep herself asleep and from the sleep paralysis demon. ”Z wake up time to get up.” Allen knocked on the wood of the bed.Half awake Z sits up. ”Huh?” “Come on rise and shine,take a shower and come to the kitchen.” Allen kept poking her with a random stick he snagged from the tree next to the window “Alright,alright I'll get up.” Z was really annoyed but she got up eventually and took her morning shower.

Once she was done as soon as she stepped into the kitchen she was bombarded with confetti and streamers.”Happy birthday Z!” They all called out.Z stood there embarrassed.Allen escorted Z to a chair where homemade chocolate chip pancakes were on a plate and a chocolate buttercream frosted sprinkle cake sat in the middle of the table.”We made you breakfast and a cake!” Jerico laughed as they sat down to eat. “Wow, it looks great!” Z spoke with joy and a hint of sadness to her voice.

*Timeskip to Town* The town was abandoned and Mayer security was nowhere to be seen.Desmond wanted to grab a few things from his apartment and office area to try and liven up the cabin that Lucas put add-ons to the house for more room for everyone.While Jerico,Lazarus,Desmond and Lucas were busy with collecting stuff from the apartment and to get food at Homa Mart.Allen and Z headed back to the one place that made them feel like themselves again.Icarus Point Lighthouse.

Allen thought Z needed to take in a breath of air from being cooped up in the cabin.He made sure no Mayer Security was roaming about the place and took Z inside.They both reached the top of the lighthouse.Z looked out amongst the ocean and started crying.Allen,worried like he always was, and walked to Z's side.”What's wrong your the birthday girl is everything alright?”

Z's face was red and her eyes started to turn red from how much she cried.”Allen that's the thing I don't feel like a girl I feel like I'm nothing.I don't feel girly…I feel like a void ripped my thoughts straight from my head.Like a singular moon different from the rest of the stars and suns and moons.” Z trembled, losing her balance and fell to her knees sobbing and hyperventilating intensely like an anxiety attack was happening.Allen pulls her close.``Shhh it's alright I think I read it in a book your not female nor male but you don't fall under those categories.I think it's called Non-Binary or enby if I'm not mistaken.” Allen has read multiple books from Desmond’s mini library in the cabin and tries to understand what they were like: books on bird species,cute cats and cuddly dogs,how to comfort a love one,ect.Anything Desmond had he kinda had it.Allen pulls Z close to himself and hugs her.”Do you want me to use Non-Binary pronouns with you?” Allen rubs her back letting the tears stain his canary yellow turtleneck.``With you,you're only allowed to call me by your sister. I don't mind,but I want the others to use enby pronouns.” She sniffled and wiped the tears on her pale violet sweater.``It's ok,we can tell the others when we are back to the cabin…ok?” Allen rubs little circles around their back.

*Timeskip to dinner* They all,got back safe in the cabin.Desmond had his chaise lounge and his chair back,along with a working computer and a few other items like patient files,records and tapes.Lucas was making some grilled lemon salmon and some side dishes to go with it.Everyone sat down to eat.Allen stood up,and the room went quiet.”Guys,Z wants me to tell you all they want to use Non-Binary pronouns from now on.” He sat back down.Z was sinking in her chair,the ringing in her ears were loud and felt like liquid fire was pouring down her eyes.”Z,you're ok with us no matter what you are.” Jerico piped up.”We would even still love you like family if you were a worm!” Allen nudged Z's shoulder.”No matter what kiddo,you're ok in my book.” Lucas gave a warm smile.”If you need anything,let us know.” Laz nodded.Z sat there crying for a good while.Desmond and the others gave them a hug and rubbing their back.After a while they ate the delicious lemon salmon and finished the rest of the birthday cake.

It was now 11pm and they all sat atop the radio tower.Lucas gifted a good sized telescope that could see pretty far away.The cool spring air was fresh and crisp.The stars twinkled like glitter.Afew of the constellations glimmers familiar colors like red,purplish pink,light blue and pink.They all admired the beautiful display as they headed back to bed.Allen and Z both looked out the window as the rain started to pour in.”I'm so proud of you. You know that.I would give you the best sibling ever award if that existed.” Allen laughs.Z smiles and yawns,leaning onto Allen.”Same to you, Al. I mean, without you, it would be boring.” Allen's smile widened.”I forgot to tell you, but I loaded everyone's pillows with confetti.” Once Desmond,Laz,Jer, and Lucas laid down a cloud of confetti poured out of their pillows.The heard groans of disappointment.They both laugh hysterically.”Nice bro.” Z nods in approval.”Hey perfect opportunity, and I took it.” Allen gleamed with joy.They both headed to their beds and went to sleep.

Kenya Pipeline Invests Sh24m in School Infrastructure in Homa Bay

The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has unveiled school infrastructure projects worth Sh24 million in Homa Bay County to enhance education standards.

The projects include two classrooms worth Sh3 million at Lambwe Mixed Special Secondary School in Suba North, and a Sh5 million dormitory at Siburi Mixed Secondary in Karachuonyo. Additionally, a Sh5 million dormitory was built at St Joseph Multi-purpose Secondary School in Ndhiwa, while Simbi Mixed Secondary School received a modern laboratory and dormitory valued at Sh8 million.

KPC Foundation also constructed an administration block and a latrine at Kowuor Primary School in Karachuonyo at a cost of Sh3 million.

During the commissioning at Lambwe Special Secondary School, KPC Foundation manager Rachel Gathoni emphasized the organization's commitment to providing a conducive learning environment for students.

“Through this initiative, we aim to transform the lives of young Kenyans and empower them for a better future,” she stated.

Lambwe Mixed Special Secondary School principal Margaret Kwamboka welcomed the project, noting that it had addressed a pressing shortage of classrooms.

“We lacked two classrooms, and KPC Foundation has come to our aid. This will significantly benefit our students, many of whom are orphans facing various challenges,” Kwamboka said.

The school’s Board of Management member Erick Adede added that the improved infrastructure would motivate students and attract more learners.

In addition to the infrastructural support, KPC announced full scholarships for all students at Lambwe Special Secondary School from Suba North, ensuring continued access to education for vulnerable learners.

New Indoor Golf League Launching in 2025

A new professional golf league with high-profile backers will launch in early 2025. The TGL, a six-team league with a unique format blending simulator and real-world golf, will begin its inaugural season on January 7, with matches broadcast in primetime on ESPN in the United States and Sportsnet in Canada. PGA Tour legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy head the league via their investment arm, TMRW Sports, while other notable investors include Justin Timberlake and Steph Curry.

The league delayed its January 2024, but the roof of its home stadium (SoFi Center) collapsed two months prior, causing a year-long delay. The six teams (Atlanta, Boston, Jupiter, Los Angeles, New York, and The Bay) will have four PGA Tour players and compete for $21 million in prizes. Woods and McIlroy will play, and so will pros like Sahith Theegala, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, and Max Homa.

The arena set-up includes a 53x64-foot golf simulator screen, about 24 times larger than the average simulator, and seating for 1,500 fans. Players will hit from real-grass tee boxes 35 yards away from the screen and continue to play into the screen until their ball reaches the boundary of the "Greenzone," where they will then pick up their ball and play on a real-grass putting surface.

The league designed several holes. Matches will also have a unique scoring format, played on just 15 holes instead of 18, with three players per team playing alternate shots in holes 1-9 and one-on-one matches in holes 10-15. There is also a 40-second shot clock.
