The Hideous Rapist at the WeddingsHaven’t you heard of him? Yes, the ravenous rapist that ravaged the country in all weddings until weddings were banned and promiscuity thrived.It all started few years back, the first case was of just a normal party goer, she wasn’t invited to the wedding party so when she disappeared, no one noticed. The rapist practically demoralized her, he had sex with her until she fainted. She was found in the rest room two days later when the hall attendants were cleaning the hall.A second case involved a state offici...

Chucky-Like

I am yet to begin. I'm just taking my time. It ain't easy but to see them laughing and smiling and jumping and all sort of excitement keep getting on my unnerved nerves. I've been resisting the sharp blade, feeling my hands holding the sleek handle in a firm grip had been my satisfaction all along. I knew I could do it, Just few years more and I would be free to do anything I want. I grin rather noticeably whenever I think of my dream. Yeah, I have it all planned out already, I'm gonna get an apartment, a spotle...

Unlucky

Submitted to Contest #95

He dropped the empty bowl of Pap in front of his Grandmother, she was in all smiles, her brown teeth shone brightly in the stream of morning sunlight. She gave him his pocket money for the day and after a hug, he skipped off to the school with no bag.He hummed the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star poem along the way, he felt so free, it was the last week of the session, the week of reckoning, the week of cries and smiles. But that would still be the next four days, for now all that was on his mind were the games he would play at school.He swore no...

GETTING-TOGETHER

Submitted to Contest #79

I.“Yeleee, yele!” someone shouted in the tense and unmoving traffic.We have been stuck for the past thrirty minutes after leaving the hotel. I had been with Nife, my new Sugar baby, I went on practicing the lie I would offer up to my wife whenever she asked where I had been. She wouldn't believe me but neither would she know the truth.I strained my neck out to see whom it was. I looked around knowing fully well the person would call again.“Yele! Oko Basira.”I grinned.No one had called me that in ages and I haven't seen or heard from Basira s...

Fading Resolutions

Submitted to Contest #75

The sharp and loud sound of the 3-round bangers erupting at the front of the houses down our street kept making me feel ecstatic. It was a dark and chilly night, or morning I should say since it was the first day in the new year and the adjacent church had just concluded its crossover service. The bangers gave no light as the little boys threw them up but it was the 'pa-pa-pa' sound that gives them joy and a little smoke. The real fireworks was on display at several other adjourning streets and I could see them all from my room in my Dad's m...

The Crazy Man

Submitted to Contest #70

“Yeah, I whipped myself everyday since that day,” he told the therapist who was looking at his scar-decorated body. The therapist traced the thick and swollen lines with his fingers. “As a penance?” He nodded. “I would like you to recap everything that happened again, though I read your case file left by your former therapist,” the therapist said. The crazy man laughed in derision “I still whipped myself this morning.” “I know, you have been telling me that since you came here today, so I would request you to...
