“Ẹjẹ Eniyan (Blood of Man)” by Zyönnah Isiguzo

Author bio

Hi! My name is Zyonnah Isiguzo (Formerly Chidalu Isiguzo) , and I am proudly African (Nigerian). I love to write stories and have been writing since I was seven. I am a just a student, so forgive me for any mistakes! I encourage constructive criticism on my work, as I am continuously improving. I mainly write stories to shed light on global conflict and social issues. These stories will not be entered into the competition, for I am not writing for profit. I may not be able to write much because of school work and whatnot. Feel free to like, comment, and most importantly, enjoy! 😊
