Submitted to Contest #100

It was a cool evening in the city of Jerusalem, it was the night of the Jewish Passover. Families were putting together meals for the feast, inviting friends or drinking together.“Arella please go check if your sister Gevira is back from the market” Hedya shouted from the kitchen as she kneaded bread dough. A little girl of ten walked into the kitchen pulling the hem of her dress“Mama, she hasn’t returned yet” Arella replied softly.

We did this every Saturday, we leave school campus and I would take us out anywhere because I was the rich friend with the money to do so.

It was the normal harmattan season and I was spending my Christmas holiday in the village as the normal tradition. We didn’t go anywhere else. ‘The harmattan wind is harsher this year’ the adults always said, but I didn’t understand what they meant all I knew was that there was sand and all my cousins to play with, there were streams to run to and even goats to chase and that was all I cared.

“SHOT” by Ogechukwu Anyaso

Submitted to Contest #78

Her dive into the pool was swift and precise as usual, she swam two laps ending back at the start then she began pulling herself out of the pool. Someone was standing there holding out her towel for her and grinning widely, it was weird. She climbed out and looked around like she was looking for someone before she took the towel from the strange guy. Pulling off her goggles she began to towel her face muttering under her breath.“And you are please?” she asked as nicely as she could. She had a lot of admirers here in this club house, she was ...
