“PROCRASTINATION;A THIEF OF LIFE” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #76

Hi. Hey yourself. How are you doing? Great. You? I’m doing fine if you don’t count the fact that I almost got myself fired today. Wow. I didn’t know that the owner of a company could fire herself. I didn’t myself until it happened. _________________________________ Why are you staring at me that way? Come on, don’t keep me in the dark. What happened today? Have you heard this phrase before,” procrastination is a thief of time”? Sure. Who hasn’t? When did you hear it? Babe, this one you are asking me weird questions, is all well? Wrong reply....

“FINALLY!!!” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #75

I typed in the last word and removed my hand from the keyboard so fast like it burnt me. I did it. Wow, I really did it. This is so unbelievable but since it is right in front of me I have no other choice but to believe it.  I went to my contact list on my phone where I had stored the number I had gotten from the telephone book in the filling station. When I got the number, I dialed it and relaxed in my seat waiting for the unknown person to answer.  ........................................................................... Hello?...

“This present year” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #74

Make twenty new friends, check. Diana Matthews smiled as she checked this list. It had not been easy for her to do since she was shy and an introvert but God really helped her and so she could check that one off her list. Do not date anybody this new year, check. This one was remarkably easy since she was far from being miss popular in school and the year had been a very busy one for her. Make an A+ in all my courses, check. This was not a surprise since she was a nerd but she had gotten used to putting it on her new year resolutions since s...

“SECRETS REVEALED” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #64

Dear mother and father,    I know it looks and feels stupid to write letters to you since I do not know you and I'm even supposed to hate you for leaving me in an orphanage but I just want a connection with you two and since I don't know if I will ever know you, I guess in a way I am connecting with you through my letters. In my previous letters, I have always asked about you two but in this one I want to write about myself. I hope you will begrudge me this opportunity. Okay here goes nothing. I've never been in a place so war...

“CHANGE?” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #63

Kathleen reentered God’s grace coffee shop the second time that morning and breathed in the scent of different flavors of coffees and other flavored drinks and baked goods sighing as she did so. She had opened the shop earlier and mixed the batter leaving the baking and arranging to her younger sisters since she had an urgent business at the bank that morning. God’s grace coffee shop had just introduced a new line of making drinks according to seasons. Since they were in the season of fall and pumpkin, apple and caramel were in abundance, th...

“The horror that is my life” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #62

I was totally confused but mind you not the type of confusion that you feel when you are trying to choose what cloth to wear or what shoe to wear that will go with your cloth but the type of confusion that if care is not taken, you will go straight to a panic attack coupled with tears and when I mean tears I mean lots of tears that will leave you with a runny nose, red eye and a massive headache. Now that we have established the fact that I'm terribly confused,let's talk about why I'm confused but before that i will like to introduce myself....

“HONEY AND CINNAMON” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #61

I turned off the car and studied the house looming in front of me. It was like a small mansion but a mansion all right. For someone that grew up in an orphanage and was later brought up in a modest sized house, I was intimidated by the one in front of me.  Don’t worry, it’s just a house, it won’t bite, Lena, my fiancée said dryly I laughed at that, I’m not scared it will, after all its just a house, I said intentionally repeating her words making her laugh. Come on, let’s go inside and meet the in- laws, I concluded. I came down and wen...

“Bren's plague” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #60

The epidemic came to the attention of the media on December 5, 2015 and by then it was too late. They called it the Bren’s plague. It was not shocking the way the news spread throughout the nation but it was horrifying the way the plague spread. It was said to have been caused by bacterial infected fleas. We were in the heat of summer and so fleas were in abundance everywhere which increased the risks of contracting this plague. The symptoms were fever, headache, vomiting, weakness and swellings in the areas closer to where the bacteria occu...

“Actress Eva” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #59

ACTRESS EVA As I stepped out of the car in a blue gown with black heels, irritation bubbled up in me. I was supposed to have gotten used to the paparazzi but they still annoyed me every time they surround me shouting annoying questions at me expecting answers. At least I wore a beautiful cloth today and it's not like this is catching me unawares. My name is Evangeline Dane and I am an actress. I am a 27-year-old Nigerian living in New York city. What annoys me most about the paparazzi is that it is the fact that I am a Nigerian that just act...

“Lizzy's birthday” by Agbesanwa Ayomide

Submitted to Contest #58

LIZZY’S BIRTHDAY The first thing that came to my mind as I woke up was that the day had finally come. I immediately felt guilty because I'm supposed to thank God for waking me up and other blessings before going about my day so I quickly went on my knees and prayed making sure I did not rush through it. The excitement that I felt when I woke up started again and this time I could not control it, I started smiling. My name is Elizabeth and I'm the youngest in the house. We are a family of five, my dad, my mom, my two brothers; the twins and...
