When a baby is born, his sincere desire is to grow and live up to expectations.
So also on Steemit, you start with a reputation of 25 and as you consistently add value to the platform, your reputation grows.

I joined Steemit January 2018 and I must say it's been awe-mazing. From a reputation of 25, I have consistently built it to a reputation of 60 within the space of 6 months.

To me, it's an achievement and I'm proud to have achieved this feat without the use of bots whatsoever to boost my post. It's been hard-work and consistency all the way....

This calls for a celebration and that's why I have decided to have.....

My First Official Giveaway On The Blockchain 😎😎😎

Yeah, that's right.....

So far, I have learned, unlearned and relearned from this amazing platform and I must say that this feat wouldn't have been achieved without YOU....

To get an idea of what we expect, read this short and scary story.

Tap tap tap tap tap....
Were the only sounds the streets could ring out as Tye vigorously ran down cowrie lane....
He was so driven by the severe adrenaline of freight that he barely noticed the soothing smell of the rain that had just been given birth to.
The rain had just begun to drizzle and was well accompanied by whirlwinds that could shiver a skinny cat but he didn't mind as he ran aimlessly without looking back...
The only thing he could feel was the to and fro swings from his arms and the violent air that brushed passed his ear as he crossed the next junction....


This was it, he wasn't planning on dying like this. His friends had always made fun of how they will kick the bucket but he never really imagined it coming this way. This wasn't just kicking the bucket, this was kicking a huge iron tank.
Nothing else mattered at the moment... If O'Brian was going to have his lunch before he gets home, it didn't matter at the moment. All that mattered was how swift his legs could take him from this terror...
The street lights came back on and it wasn't even going to release him from his thoughtless rage, he paced on, this time he wanted to be sure he had done the trick, he had dodge the shooting arrow, he had escaped death's raging serpent... He slowly looked down to notice if its presence could no longer keep up with him...


Only to find out the shadow of the being behind had grew larger...
His heart skipped...
He had never imagined it to be this close to him than before...
This was it, he could notice the violent swinging of a metal...... a machete, an axe, a knife, he could not tell what the being was swinging but he knew it was close to being over and finally his steps will be no more....
Tap tap tap tap....

That's just and idea into what we expect to see. Thrill us. Scare us with your stories and stand a chance to share in the reward pool.

Congratulations to me.....and congratulations to the winners in advance.

My name is Juliet Israel and I just reached a milestone. 🍻🥂
Cheers....

Scary Zone


I have so many coins from airdrops by several vendors, like Candy, byte, and the newest, initiativeQ. And I have no idea how to cash them all. @xawi DMed and asked me about what I'm gonna do with all the coins, I answered, "I don't know. The day I gain that knowledge might be the day I die from 'sudden rich'."

She said, "Never cash it. I don't wanna loose you."

"Marry me," replied I when I see a fine opportunity.

"Lol!" Said she, "I don't wanna loose you as a friend."

Oh I see. I'm just getting myself friendzoned.
