I watched the empty streets from the window of my bedroom, it was as quiet as a grave, except for the whistling of the soft breeze. White papers littered the deserted tiled road.

He had taken it too far this time around. She had endured his emotional neglect, his constant yelling, his egocentric nature…he didn’t even compliment her anymore. They argued constantly but she didn’t think he would have an affair. “Seven years of marriage, three lovely kids and Dele chooses to share our bed with another woman” […]

ROSE. (18+) (1,292)
12.Am. Rosemary stood still by the white wooden door, trying not to breathe too hard. The hallway, dimly lit by the recessed light reflecting from the antechamber stood still with her. She could hear the clock ticking in the distance - tick tock, tick tock, reminding her of the twenty minutes she had spent, standing […]

DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, 2016. “You’re up?” Clayton's DM read on my Instagram profile. But I was only just waking up. His message was sent minutes past 1.am, while I was fast asleep.

ALEXANDER. (18+) (692)
Touché! That had to be his favorite word. I remember him saying it more times than he said any other singular word. “Touché!” He wrote me when I accused him of being too direct in his texts. That word, nothing else. But that was Alexander, that was the way he communicated. He wasn’t a man […]
A LITTLE, TOO LATE. (652)
I was playing Fifa 18 with the boys when Sylvia stormed into my house. Shaken by the abrupt barging in, we all turned to her in shock. "What are you doing here?" I spoke with the gamepad clasped between my hands, "How did you even get in?!" I hadn't seen her in over a year. Last […]
UNREQUITED. (18+) (646)
It's hard just thinking about it. PART ONE. It was a Friday in September. That Friday started off like any other day, Ene and I woke up, had our baths and rushed out for Lectures. We returned afterwards, prepared lunch, ate and relaxed on our beds. As we lay engrossed with our phones, she […]
PLUCKED. (546)
KWALE, 1993. Thunderstorms rumbled outside the thatched house of mama Awele as rain heavily pattered down to the old roof and unto the sandy ground. Every family in the small village was taking shelter in their huts, while some slept from the cold and relaxing feeling the rain brought, others warmed their afternoon meals in […]
THE Client. (531)
The first time I saw Donald was in my office. I was running late to work on that particular day which is unusual for me as I try to keep up with time, in every area of my life. But as unscripted as life can be, my car tire went flat barely 20 minutes after […]
