My Future Mother In Law EPISODE 1 “Let me sweep this compound for her oo,let me go and wash plates and cook for her royal majesty” the ranting continued as I got up from the soft 5inches bed,I was already feeling agitated so I couldn’t say my prayers. I stare at the snoring emeka and […]

“Oh, not again,” I whispered. This time, I was sure none of us would survive this setback! We all turned around and lo and behold, Hayakharet was laughing. “Just kidding,” she shouted and waved at us still laughing. Our temperature came down. We laughed and waved back. Then we turned around and continued our journey. […]

The chief priest raised the dagger high above Lillian’s head. Lilian closed her eyes and held her breath. She did not want to see the dagger sink into her chest. The drummers beat harder until the sound reached a crescendo. The drums only added to the trepidation that hung in the air. But before the […]

Hayakharet swung around. However, before her warriors could do anything, spears ran through them, and they crashed to the ground beside her. I looked at the direction the arrows came from, and my heart ran to my mouth when I saw warriors surrounding us—supreme commander’s army no doubt! Hayakharet turned back to look at me. […]

She stood up and began scouting the entire surrounding for a substitute or anything that could extend the boy’s life a little longer. She spotted a plant at the base of a boulder. She ran to it and plucked some of its leaves. She squashed it and squeezed the juice into his mouth and rubbed […]

Frighteningly, Amitabh missed a step. Tiny stones rolled down the edge of the cliff. He wobbled and began to fall over the cliff. We screamed, watched, and hoped. Just when I thought we had lost little Amitabh, Michael swung around and grabbed his T-shirt, but the poor boy smashed his leg on the rocky side […]

[] Our eyes met, and I gasped. I became riveted to a spot. The rod in my hand dropped to the ground, and my eyeballs were like they were going to fall off. Fiona flung the wrapper away and ran towards me, screaming my name. I was too dumbfounded to call her name. I stood […]

According to the story, Hayakharet’s great, great grandfather, Omoluabi, was a very successful merchant who acquired many servants and wealth. He was a good man and did many good things for the people and the community. But some people were not happy with his progress and out of envy framed him up. Sadly, it was […]

She gave instructions to one of the two warriors that were with her. He bowed and disappeared into the darkness. She led the way, and we followed. She walked like a seasoned warrior and wore a calculative look all the time. For us, our strength had suddenly returned. She knew the forest like the back […]

April 21, 2023

Commander Hayakharet bent low and began to loosen my fetters. She instructed the other two warriors in their language to free the others too. She did so in a hushed tone and urged them to hurry up. This didn’t look like they were taking us to the slaughter. She perhaps saw the confusion on my […]

The king raised his sceptre and silence fell over the whole place. He motioned in our direction, and the warriors shoved us forward with their spears, exposing their large, irregular, brown teeth as they chuckled. The king stepped forward to address the people to which the ecstatic crowd responded with their version of ‘All hail […]

April 21, 2023

By the time I opened my eyes, I found Michael, Ubong, Sister Elizabeth, Lilian, Amitabh, and myself tied to the bars of a cage on a cattle-driven wagon. My body ached, and my bruises burned, yet the pains couldn’t compare with the anguish I bore in my heart when I looked around, and Fiona was […]

April 21, 2023

They were kind of some ancient warriors. Michael wasted no time in squeezing the trigger but hit not a single one of them. There was pin-drop silence for a moment. My heart started beating so hard I feared it would pop out of my chest. I held Fiona’s hand. She too was sweating. All of […]

April 21, 2023

The heat from the sun was now becoming scorching; not even the trees could provide us with the much-needed refuge. This forest was full of mysteries. It was difficult to believe that it was the same forest that almost killed us with downpour only a few hours ago—one good thing the rain did, though was […]

However, Fatima could not move. She remained glued to the same spot, whimpering. She covered her mouth with one hand and pointed towards the tunnel with the other. We all turned our eyes to the direction and froze too. Two big yellow eyes were coming out of the tunnel. Those were the only parts we […]

April 21, 2023

Without thinking twice, I dived after Amitabh and grabbed his hand just at the nick of time and held on to a rung of the guardrail with my other hand. Amitabh dangled above the crocodiles. I tried to pull him up, but the oscillatory movement of the bridge made it difficult. The crocodiles went into […]

April 21, 2023

The old bridge was suspended across the crocodile-infested swamp with ropes that were entwined with climbing plants. Just like the path that led to it, the bridge didn’t appear like it was used frequently. The wind started to pick up momentum. Though we needed to hurry up, we all couldn’t rush over the bridge at […]

April 21, 2023

[] The person was John Doe. Oh! Did I say charged towards us? Sorry I meant to say he ran towards us. On getting to us, he dropped his gun and brought out a dagger to cut us loose. Surprised, Lilian, the fair-complexioned lady with full lips, asked John Doe, “why are you helping us?” […]

April 21, 2023

I was sure Fiona must have been tempted to tell her it served her right but for the present situation. I hissed, and when I turned my attention back to the swamp, the don and Shola were on the abandoned raft, already sailing across the water. I squinted when I noticed a stealth movement in […]

April 21, 2023

I turned back and saw the don dragging one of his legs towards us. The chain of bullets he wore across his chest had significantly reduced. He had dark patches and blood clots all over his face. He tied a strip of cloth around what I suspected was a bullet wound on his left thigh. […]

April 21, 2023

Five of us kept running deeper and deeper into the forest. The boy was on my shoulder, and waddled after us. We did not wait to consider how far we had gone; there was no time for that. The deeper we went, the more the sound of the battle was swallowed up by the rustling […]

April 21, 2023

The bastard was about getting down to the business when we heard gunshots. Two of the robbers screamed and fell to the ground. The ladies they flung over their shoulders scampered into the bush. The others dropped the women they were carrying and returned fire. The don turned around in a scurry, trying to pull […]

April 21, 2023

The leader towered above everyone else and wore an army green beret, holding up his automatic Ak-47 rifle with one hand. A chain of bullets hung over his shoulder like Rambo and sweat glistened on his bare chiselled body in the flickering light as he approached. He donned a pair of military camouflage combat trousers […]

The driver must have sensed it too, but it was too late for him retract. “Chidi, robbers!!!” He alerted the security man attached to the bus and pumped some power onto the throttle. He headed for the barricade. “To the ground, everybody!” Chidi screamed as he sprung to action immediately. He cocked his rifle and […]

April 21, 2023

At about quarter past eight, I dashed into Jibowu Park, all drenched in sweat and my rucksack flung over my shoulder like a refugee. My heartbeat spun out of control when I heard a young lady telling someone on the phone that the last bus to Port Harcourt was almost full. I raised my head […]

April 21, 2023

At about 7 p.m, I was in the midst of my friends when the blaring sound of my phone startled everyone. That was why I hated phones. The vibration almost caused me a cardiac arrest. I completely forgot I had the phone in my b****t pocket all this while—a mistake I had vowed never to […]

The Last Bus (action

April 21, 2023

I dropped to the ground and started crawling as fast as I could. Sweats covered my whole body and my clothes gummed to my body as if they were another layer of my skin. The other passengers scampered in all directions. Bullets flew all about. The smell of gunpowder permeated the air, and smoke blurred […]

April 21, 2023

EPISODE 4 My head ached terribly it was someone was hitting my head against an armored tank. My heart was beating rapidly and my arm hurt. My vision was blurry but I could sense that I was still bound. I could hear Henry’s occasional whimper and one of the men, talking to him, pointing a […]
