their original planet. They wound up on their new world planet later dubbed Egyptia.

  He recalling the female telling him he was to kill a man named George and take his place as King. This was said along with getting people to see him deity like enough for worshipping.

  Jinx, recalling the memories got up from the bed and went to the foot of the bed to kneel in front of the bed's dresser while thinking of needing to mediate from his angry mood hitting him. He felt his rage running through him as he recalled another memory. He saw a familiar black haired female giving birth to a baby, a male and denied nursing it by the familiar blonde female who he saw as his Mother. The blonde female took him away.

  Jinx felt his rage cooling from him as he got himself calmer. He shut his eyes and felt himself too tensed to astral project which involved ghost walking out of his body and doing various things with that ability. He opened his eyes to stare at the bed’s dresser as he remembered himself in Luna living there due to not able to get to live on Egyptia. That was because of being born off planet by a woman named Lizette who later admitted to him once he was old enough to get it her talk that she was deaf from an illness soon after having him.

  Jinx groaned anger leaving him as he recalled that his Mother Lizette raised him on the space station then when he was grown to legal adult age of twenty three she left him in the apartment with a video message saying that he didn’t need her anymore. She was going to live on Egyptia where she was born. He recalled trying to get himself a ticket to Egyptia but was denied it due to not having the proper identification by the transport people who laughed in his face whenever he tried to buy a ticket.

  Jinx exhaled a breath struggling to relax as he remembered later evicted from the apartment he shared with his Mother and living in the bad part of the station where there was lawlessness happening. He living there till some blond haired female spotted him and gave him her name of Melania omitting a last name and refusing to give him one. She brought him out of the sector to an apartment which he lived with her while she apparently carrying a baby from hearing the word Daddy spoken whenever he eyed her abdomen. He recalled confronting her about the pregnancy when it was obvious and she confirmed it. She refused to talk on anything else regarding that subject.

  He continued to remember that one night while asleep he felt a prick of pain in his neck that made him sleepier. He woke up in the station’s police's brig.

  He was told "A witness has seen you attacking a pregnant woman."

  He realized from the cop's snickering voice tone that Melania had retaliated against him.

  He remembered fuming that he stayed in the brig for a standard week as in seven planetary sun days while doing his karate movements called martial arts while feeling himself filmed via camera. He recalled from learning it as a youngster from a Mahalian female in private tutoring from her karate school. The teaching stopped once he earned the highest belt rank of black according to the female dubbed Megumi when he was seventeen years old.

  He recalled that the natives of Egyptia after acquiring technology for satellites found this planetary environment space station orbiting the planet once technology could be achieved. It turned out to be a place for people to live on other than living on planet after gaining entrance inside to it via space ships holding people on it to exploring it fully.

  The space station he recalled was disguised as a dead moon orbiting Egyptia. Once satellites landed on the moon it was discovered it was entirely a giant moon shaped piece of metal built there and made to resemble a dead moon including manipulating things on Egyptia while orbiting the planet. Also going through some moon cycle seen in the sky of the planetary natives as learned in school.

  Jinx frowned as he recalled getting out of the brig brought out by Melania. She refused to apologize for the stunt of knocking him out asleep along with having him thrown in the brig to stay for a certain time period despite him expecting her to do it. He recalled that Melania put off the talk on her pregnancy and why she was with him. She brought him to a transport where it went stopping in front of a hallway. He was escorted out of the transport to inside the hallway to find another hallway that appeared to be a lounge room then pass the room to the stairs. They took several sets till they reached a hallway and she stopped at a door numbered eight on it and unlocked it. Inside he saw was their familiar one room apartment with scattered furniture around surrounding a large bed against a wall facing the doorway.

  He remembering could see a kitchen unit next to the doorway on the same wall with a blank wall on his left holding living room furniture.

  Jinx sighed as he remembered lying in the bed under candle light staring at Melania whose abdomen swollen showing her pregnancy.

  He was thinking to himself “Two Minas to go before baby is born.”

  He recalled the Minas were Luna slang talk for fourteen suns. He heard Melania gasp in pain and saw a pained look on her face while hearing her groan loudly before becoming still with breathing slow and deeper than normal. He abruptly got up from the bed towards the phone hanging on the wall next to the kitchen unit and dialed for emergency.

  The medical personal the paramedics arrived soon after the phone call and took Melania with him to the hospital.

  He sat in the waiting room waiting for news on Melania as a man wearing scrubs came into the room speaking his name "Robert O'Neil?"

  He stood up and was told "The baby a boy was taken out surgically and discovered dead."

  He felt himself stiffen as the doctor added "Melania wound up dying on the operating table from some problem with her heart."

  He was handed back the diamond ring he had her wear to show that she was engaged to him before sitting down with deadness again arriving within him.

  Jinx opened his eyes grimacing of the memory of the deadness feeling hitting him which he recalled clearing up a shelf in the wall that was knee high and putting Melania’s favorite sweater folded on it with some candles not lighted flanking it.

  He pulled out from his dresser drawer a karate weapon. He dubbed Chuck which was two lower arms sized metal bars attached by a chain. He used to do his karate motions along with doing it without the weapon. He had finished his karate when the phone rang and he went to answer it.

  He heard a male voice sounding computer like in a monotone voice telling him "There’s an opening for a janitor at a place called Richardson Industries at a location walking distance from your apartment. You're to show up there at an appointed time of nine o'clock daylight time. We’ll make sure you’ll get the job."

  Jinx frowned as he got up from his kneeling pose to sit on the bed thinking of the janitor job which he acquired. He discovered the boss Burke Richardson of Richardson Industries seemed to have a strong dislike towards him judging by the feeling he got whenever he met Richardson who glared at him with anger simmering from the man.

  Jinx sighed as he recalled doing some mopping in the cafeteria room and was met by a brown haired woman with brown eyes who worked in one of the offices.

  She looking at him with an intense stair "Richardson wants to see you in his office." He had taken the elevator to Richardson’s office.

  Richardson on arrival told him "You're to take the stairs."

  Richardson added in a rude tone "My office floor wasn’t properly vacuumed. I expect you to do better than that shoddy job done already."

  Jinks at the moment felt himself snap which he attacked Richardson hitting and kicking at him with his karate who had no defenses from his blows.

  He managed to get Richardson lying on the floor till the man spoke with pleading in his voice “Please don’t hurt me.”

  He stopped his attack went to the phone and dialed for emergency leaving the phone in Richardson's hands. Then took the stairs back to the cafeteria where he continued to mop the floor.

  He was interrupted by Richardson’s second in command a man named Teague Marshall "Richardson was taken to the hospital to be checked out."

  He had sh
rugged at what he was told and continued mopping till Teague was sensed near him again "Richardson wants you in his office."

  He had followed Teague to Richardson’s office to see the man was sitting in his desk with a frown on his face. Richardson he saw had eyes staring at a male he saw had a face with small eyes not normal for Egyptians and had black smooth hair and tan skin he later learned was dubbed a Mahalian. The male was wearing a suit with a doctor's coat on. He frowned as Richardson got up from the desk to stand next to him.

  The doctor he assumed was the male spoke in some hypnotic voice tone "I have found your father who’s a good man."

  Jinx got riled up screaming "My father abandoned me! I will have nothing to do with him!"

  At the moment he was restrained by Richardson and Teague who held him in an ironclad grip as the doctor undid Jinks’ necklace and walked out of the office with it.

  Jinx had struggled against the two men’s hold till Richardson’s phone rang and he was let go. He felt himself in a daze walked out ignoring Richardson answering the phone and speaking. He walked out ignoring people and walked outside till something snapped inside him that got his hand up in front of him. It took him the rest of the day to mentally track the diamond ring attached to the necklace while walking through a part of the space station dubbed Mahaliatown
