“Finding Sophie” by Sophie Aay

Submitted to Contest #78

“You should be more concerned,” Rebecca Kuti began with a loud yell.  Her husband who was only a few metres from her looked up at her strangely, wondering if she was talking about the hero who died in the movie playing on TV but they weren’t watching. They had far more important issues to deal with and the one thing, which topped the list, was the unusual pounding sound coming from their daughter’s worksp...

“All in for the money” by Sophie Aay

Submitted to Contest #67

Quietness filled the air as they stared at each other like two opponents having a showdown which, might give room to tranquility for once. They had being neighbors for three years, though not the good types.

Dear Miriam, I got your letter. I don't know when you will ever get to read this, but by the time you get it, I will be miles from here. I took your advice and gave Wesley College a trial. I guess I made such an impression on them during the interview, they offered me a full scholarship. Hurray! Right? (Total sarcasm). My parents seem to thin...

“A fresh brew of coffee” by Sophie Aay

Submitted to Contest #63

For as long as Sheila could remember, there has always been just a coffee shop in her little town. It was lone, isolated like it was in a world of its own. Other shops had developed over the years, most had modern interiors, decorations and Wi-Fi but the only thing that ever changed at the shop from her memory was when Mrs Huffleberry changed the windows after some boys broke it by accident. Mrs Huffleberry owned the shop. She once told Sheila it was an heirloom passed down in the Huffleberry generations.

Submitted to Contest #62

You've probably heard of the circle of African gods, right? No. Well, a week ago I would have said the same.
