THE WAKE OF A CITY; LIFE AT NIGHT

Chika Cassandra

Late nights are the most unsafe. I know this because I have been there before, a victim of the night. I am all too familiar with the dark cruel face of the night. Way long ago we, yes we were young and full of life. Hands intertwined, eager to get to the movie but, rather we four encountered a manic. The darkness engulfed our screams and kept us hidden as we experienced a harsh reality. I got off better than the rest of my three friends. We couldn’t stay together, we were reminders to each other, and we went apart. Living separate lives now,...

Gone with the Golden rays

Chika Cassandra

The light in this old fire place flickers, to the left, then to the right dancing to the tune of the breeze that roams the room. The night creeps in, accompanied by its companion that rustled waving words. The blazing blue-red is now threatened by the wind that hustles in through the window left open.This very house where the fire flickers has only this fire as its light source. The fire barely hides the darkness of the night, but only cast the shadows of all the crawling creatures and every other life form absent. This room of the...

I open and took a bite. It was heavenly. I think there we...

With its tapered top, the sun on its tip crowned it glorious. Chansardin temple. It stood tall one look and you’d know this was no ordinary place. This one temple, where the lost made home and unwanted are brought to. The priest taught these lives the ways of life, the art of life. And how to channel their energy. Evil hatches here and threatens to destroy the world, goodness nurtured within it blessing the world. But never has it seen a fire that burns like this one, like Samsidine. He has what everyone wants, people with the power wa...

A better and stronger me within.

Chika Cassandra

“Again!” I said out loud, “again!” Every time you do this. I told you today is the carnival but someone just came in and told you it wasn’t today and you believed her. Why can’t you just trust that you are right for once and listen to yourself? You had this date in your head all week and you’ve been waiting for it. Damn! I can’t believe you missed the carnival. The Ankara trouser with the Black English straight cut top I planned on wearing, with the multicolored button necklace my aunt bought from Zimbabwe and a Rolex watch. The amalgam of n...
