As I woke up this morning, I began to think about what my life would have been like if I never got involved with my Ex husband. Well that would mean no Dare, and quite frankly I don’t think I would miss either Bolu or my child. “Gosh I need some breathing space!” I said […]
Ada got an email from a bank in Victoria Island inviting her to an interview at their office. She was overtly enraptured after reading the mail because this was the first bank interview request she was receiving. And also because she felt she was undeserving of it, her reason being that she had studied […]
The voice at the other end was hysterical and it went dead as fast as it came alive. “Hello…. hello” Giorgio realized the line had cut off, he looked at his phone’s screen as if trying to see the face of the woman he just spoke to, he was sure the voice he heard was […]
Dressed in a white blouse, black slacks, and a brown Jimmy Choo sandal, I stood alone at the edge of the parking lot of Tantalizers. I was waiting for Alhaji Baruwa to pick me up. When I spoke to him about Austin, I didn’t expect him to react the way he had. “I swear to […]
A Means To An End Ada lived with her parents in the one bedroom ‘face me I face you’ apartment in Ojuelegba. It was a small bedroom with a smaller sitting room that contained their few belongings recovered from the rain, years back. It cluttered two velvety arm chairs, three plastic chairs, a wooden centre […]
Standing was a startled Nurse Yinka, her white overall pulled up indecently to her fair fleshy thighs, three buttons was undone revealing a white lace bra barely holding together her coconut coloured, coconut shaped substantial boobs begging to be freed. Emeka himself was shocked, his mouth formed into a big ‘O’. I swallowed hard. I […]
Giorgio stood still and closed his eyes, unable to bring himself to look at Shade kneeling before him, he loved her still, but letting her back into his life after she broke up with him without any explanation would be illogical. He remembered sending her countless text messages since she would not pick his call […]
“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” – Sarah Dessen, The Truth about Forever. Kike stared through the wound down car window, across the almost empty Chop N’ Munch parking lot at Valerie and Nathan, standing together, holding hands […]
CHAPTER 9 White skulls littered the desert. The iroko tree stood tall and proud against the backdrop of the full moon. Red mist floated all around as if the very air had absorbed blood. Vultures hung on the branches of the iroko tree, watching me with patient eyes. There was something at the base of […]
“Alright Tola, it’s time to take stock and know if we’re any closer to catching this killer or killers.” Adam said rolling the white board marker between his fingers. He was standing in his office, in front of a whiteboard. The case was becoming fuzzy and trying to solve three murders at the same time […]
If fear was for sale, I would be rich and if dread were to be counted in grams, overflow would be recorded as I squirmed in a bid to be a little comfortable. My mind was in the middle of an overhaul and the toll of trying to make sense of anything was starting to […]
“No be you talk say it will be you and me till the sun comes down. That I will never wear a frown. You will love me till am down. Na only you and me go dey dey.” I murmured the lyrics to Miss Waje’s song that I could remember as I was coming back […]
Ogenyi watched the moon from where he sat on a low wooden stool inside his father’s compound. He felt the beating of his heart quicken with mounting excitement. He was excited because the appearance, in the night sky, of this glowing light from nature’s abundant kindness to humanity was enough indication that the long-awaited moon […]
Yesterday I was at the Carnivore in Nairobi’s Lang’ata lower middle class joint sipping on the most expensive liquor they could offer replaying the week in my head. Yeah, I know what you are thinking right now, but before you start judging me hear my story first. I was introduced to the Carnivore by one […]
The shock written all over Giorgio’s face soon gave way; gradually metamorphosing into heavy grief electric with anger and indignation. Monica was the last person he expected to see at his door; she had never been to his house and he didn’t remember seeing her in the last two years after she thoroughly embarrassed him […]
