“Companion” by Patriarch Okoroafo

Submitted to Contest #77

My name is Martin Walker. I am an English teacher at a disciplinary high school. Disciplinary, because, the students don't have the guts to walk into the school premises with rifles and pistols. I love my job, because of the good pay and joyful life-changing moments with the amazing kids.Ok, that wasn't it, but that's part of it. I love kids, you know. The truth is, I have always loved marking scripts and grading scores. It's fun knowing people's grades and better when I'm the one giving the grades.It's the last o...

Submitted to Contest #76

"A beautiful evening, don't you think?", the old man delightfully asked as he made his way towards me.Quickly turning towards his direction out of surprise, I stuttered, "Yes - it is".

Submitted to Contest #70

Duncan Rogers and Donald Anderson have been best friends since high school. Often, they were called Double D. Obviously, because their first names shared a peculiar starting letter 'D' and also because they were almost inseperable, having a likeness for the same things, but not everything.

He was raised by his single dad, who served in the military until his unfortunate death during a war, leaving Duncan all alone be...

“Father” by Patriarch Okoroafo

Submitted to Contest #70

" I was just a little girl, so tender and innocent", I screamed to the tall man standing in front of me. A baby abandoned at the age of 2 for reasons she never could comprehend. I yearned for my father and protector when I was sad and afraid but he was never there to comfort me. I always thought, somehow, I was an unwanted child that would have been aborted. I already began having traumas at a very young age. My primary schoolmates would be picked up from school by their fathers and would be comforted in their loving arms. I would be so e...
