Gabriel The night wind howled and I could hear a whisper of its movement, even from a mile away. It was those kind of nights in the harmattan when, people either committed suicide or they get killed by even fearless humans.The pattern was always the same- the strong preyed on the weak and the food chain never grew out of supply. I stood there at her doorway and my mind flew to different dimensions.Why not end it here, and now? What’s holding you back? This lady had become a thorn…

  Gabriel I became impatient as my thumbs raked down my trouser lines , a bit near the pockets .Her eyes fixed into mine and the tension was unbearable. I knew this was the pivot point, it was either Kate or Dami. One had to go. Naturally , Kate was the first and deserved me more* But I wondered, what had prompted them into a muscle tussle, which gave Funmi a bandaged head. I had been to the hospital and her critical condition left me with few choices. I was…

Katherine The airconditioned atmosphere heightened my suspense and tension, I practically boiled deep down with anger. I had been praying for a day like this to come, for me to unleash the hatred and pain in my heart. No Jupiter would stop me from doing what I had up my sleeves. Ol’ boy!! Karma is a b!tch. ” Are you sure its her ? ” Mimi said ” Wait!” she pulled me back ” What if you are wrong? ” I know its her. I am certain of it” I…

Gabriel I pulled the car over and entered the lonely house, I’d been a bit shaken up but I had no idea what it was. I was feeling guilt but the silence in the house tormented me even more.

Why did I let her go in the…

Katherine I hoped he would come, after texting him the address. An old church cathedral near my locale. The wind summerslamed into a pack of debris behind the church and an explosion of leaves and debris occured in the air . I feared the worst and hoped that I was doing the right thing, Mimi had told me how badly she was disturbed by Andy, only so I could meet him. I had to end the whole drama , I couldn’t allow him suffer, he deserved better than me. My…

Andrew She fixed her eyes on my scar and it pierced deep into my soul leaving me all cramped up inside. she tried to touch the skin surface where the scar had taken up its everlasting position as a reminder of what I suffered in the past, my uncle’s hardness and brutality; his babric attitudes towards me and why uptil date, his death remained a mystery to everyone else but not to me. She sipped her coffee, it steamed of nice aromas that were indeed aluring to my senses, then…

Katherine I went home to my parents and they accepted me with open arms. If there was any place I ‘d be safe, it was my father’s house. Mama burst into tears when I narrated everything that had happened to me in Gabe’s cruel hands , she rained curses on him and even the very ground he stepped on. ” He had the guts to cause you so much pain.. The Chi that I serve. Chukwu Okike ( God the creator ) will surely avenge all the evil he has…
