“THE CURSE OF TELENOVELA ” by Gray Wolf

Warning: Contains strong language I hate soaps. I hate everything about those quaky films that depict love to be some magical, mystical, it’s all in the stars nonsense. To me, love is not in the eyes of the beholder, but in the wallet of the owner. The analogy that someone is destined to be with you, or that two people’s love story is meant to be is a whole load of b.s in my opinion. In this day and age, most people are not in the perfect relationship, but, the perfect arrangement. Now am not saying that two people can’...

“Better Days” by Gray Wolf

Submitted to Contest #146

Dear older Shaw,  Good morning…is it, morning? I hope despite the success, you still read emails and letters in the morning. I wonder whether people still send letters in 2030. Well, regardless of whether you’re reading this or it’s being read out to you by some robotic voice…I just wanted to tell you that, you made it…you are on top of the mountain, heck if you managed to achieve even half of the goals you set for yourself…you are the mountain. Do you remember when this crazy fairy tale started, oh how l...

“SOLSTICE” by Gray Wolf

Warning: Contains some provocative words This is my favourite season. Why? I hear you ask. For starters, it brings with it hot and dry conditions, these conditions result in activities such as swimming and surfing, these activities bring about lots of bikinis and swimsuits. Before you start rolling your eyes thinking I am just another pervert, I should add that I am a design major from Michigan State University. You see, having been the only boy in a family of four girls, during the summer holidays these types of attir...

“DILEMMA ” by Gray Wolf

Max couldn’t believe what he was reading, ‘Seriously disgruntled by his driving abilities… his demeanour is wanting’ on top of this, that son of a mother had given him a one-star review. “Perfect” Max lamented pounding the wheel. All this because he had refused to take an unlawful U-turn.  He had picked up a client at the JFK airport en route to Mandarin Oriental Hotel NY. On the way, the gentleman had made a plea (or rather demand) to stop at the supermarket, but due to the heavy traffic and the sudden change of plans, Max had bee...

“GHOST IN A RANCH” by Gray Wolf

The sun rays pierced through the window onto the plasma T.V. “Can someone pull those curtains over that window…I CAN’T SEE!” Shouted Mike, the youngest of my grandchildren as he tried focusing and controlling the gamepad in his hands. “Come on guys, am gonna get smoked” No one seemed to pay any attention to him. “Fuck!” he cried out as he ‘died’ much to the delight of Sarah, his sister, and opponent. “Language young man” Maureen, my last born, and their mum cautioned walking into the room. It was mid-summer and the whole family had gath...

“COMING OF AGE” by Gray Wolf

“Grow up”… the two words my mum always used to say whenever I messed up, and trust me she used those words a lot. I wasn’t a spoilt child, neither was I rebellious… I was just different. For as long as I could recall, I preferred trousers or shorts to skirts or dresses, I never wore makeup, (not that I needed it seeing that mum had passed down her Cinderella genes to me), I preferred male company as opposed to my fellow females. Given my athletic and natural beauty, several of my teachers and family friends had tried to get me into mode...

“WHAT IS LOVE?” by Gray Wolf

Love…that for letter word, what is it? Is it an immense feeling of affection for someone or something as they say? Is it the greatest feeling all living things feel? Or is it a trick? Yes. A trick, is the best way to describe love. A trick so powerful that it has built and destroyed empires. But the best tricks all have one thing in common the art of deception, thus if love is a trick who is to blame for being deceived? Is it the illusionist who sinks deep into the victim’s mind, heart, and soul? Or is it the fool who allows all this to happ...
