“Dessert.” by Nwabisa Jita

The family was inside. If you watched from just outside their window, you could almost hear their conversation. The words weren’t of much importance though, because she sat there. Comfortable, eating her food with her family. Laughing. Laughing like she never had, not at that age anyway. Looking through the window she wondered. When her daughter looked at her, would she smile?

“You and me: Us” by Nwabisa Jita

Submitted to Contest #29

I met her only yesterday. Wait, that’s not true. I’ve known her my whole life, but yesterday. Yesterday was different. You see she’s been a common denominator in my life. Through the tears, hissy fits and honestly nobody knows my greatest hits like her. She doesn’t just know those parts of me, she is those parts of me, because in those memories and moments you see, she was there.
