“Ryley Scott” by David Abu Bonsrah

He was extremely glad that she had opened the door to at least him. He'd been there on countless occasions and left fruitless but today there was hope although all he could see was the wrinkled face of the old lady through the little space of the door she had opened. "If you're here because of Ryley, you might as well leave, Detective. There's nothing you're going to get out of me." she began frankly a...

Bernice's ride through the city was amazing. She hadn’t planned this but there was one particular place she wanted to visit. Her heart pushed her to that part of the city where she once lived. Her body resisted the temptation to go to that particular location but her mind was there already. The scenes she’d tried had to forget was going to come back one way or the other but she took the risk. She turned a junction to th...

“The Online Conflict” by David Abu Bonsrah

Submitted to Contest #69

It was purposely a family reunion but for the first time ever as a video chat. It seemed to be the only way to continue the annual, 'Display your food' family holiday tradition. A family tradition that was practised very well in the days of my great-grandfather, Mr Daniels himself, but not any more. Obviously, I was going to display fufu and groundnut soup. A local delicacy in Ghana that mum thought me to prepar...

“The Smiling Devil 3” by David Abu Bonsrah

Submitted to Contest #57

My day was ruined after I almost got stabbed but my year was ruined when David accepted Tina's offer to stay at ours. Angel noticed my change in mood unlike the other members of my family. How in the world was I going to tell my husband that the woman he called his mother wasn't the saint he thought she was. We stared blankly at each other when she moved in the next day and the following week her daughter had also joined. She was Yasmine. A young-looking lady and also David's childhood friend. With their presence, I could tell tha...

“The Smiling Devil 2” by David Abu Bonsrah

Submitted to Contest #56

It was Henry's wedding and this day reminded me of my wedding surprise. Henry had fought very hard for his high school sweetheart after resolving the differences between both of them for almost a year. Not until I had helped my brother's future wife, Angel, put on her gown did I notice how far I had come. It had been ten years since Jermaine surprised me on my wedding day and with Angel's astonishing looks, so many things came back to mind.''How did Jermaine escape electrocution?'' this was one of the questions that popped up. The ...

Kelvin Aguas rushed into his car wearing only his boxers. His suit, tie, socks, and shoes were in his hands as he raced into his car. He couldn't stand the chance of missing his afternoon flight due to what happened the night before. He went to a strip club with his driver and spent the night there drinking and having fun with the ladies. He just woke at 15 minutes to noon and the flight was scheduled for noon. ...

“Fate” by David Abu Bonsrah

Submitted to Contest #54

I wasn't in for marriage, yet I was continually dating so many girls. I was clothed in my suit waiting for the girl I had tried to describe to My Dating App. I wanted marriage although I didn't want to show it, my heart was eager for it. Living a simple life with my wife and our children somewhere peaceful wouldn't be something hard to ask for. My past lovers called me the slow type but I called it my technique.''What's she wearing?'' I asked the App as I parked my car. I smiled and checked if everything was alright. My perfume was...

I gladly stood in front of the mirror having a look at the bride I was about to be. David kept calling and my little brother Henry just didn't seem to stop disturbing me. Amidst all of this was Aunty Laura, the human who didn't seem to fit on earth, giving me archaic methods of putting on my own gown. Finally, with the help of Aunty Laura, she covered my face with the long veil she had bought all the way from the east fo...
