THE SOCIALITE
..My childhood memories are full of smiles and laughter. I was doted on by everybody, and never lacked. I was shielded, protected from the harsh realities of life. My mother was a socialite and to her, life was all about status.

MY JOURNEY 1
Thursday, 17 December 2015
MOTHERHOOD
The baby cried, and Oge knew he was hungry. She sat down, and thought about how bad her life had become. She tried to console the child, but he wouldn’t stop crying. She didn’t bother giving him her breasts to suckle, as she had stopped producing milk over three days ago. How would she, when her last meal had been about five days ago, when one family had taken pity on her and given her some bread. She had been surviving on just water, and her strength was already beginning to fail her.

FAMILY TIES 2
Their uncle was by their door again four days later. Three times in one week, after six years of not caring whether they lived or died. Zaire was not sure what to make of it. Christy on the other hand, knew exactly what to make of it.

FAMILY TIES
Zaire looked at her wristwatch, She had been waiting for him for over four hours. He had told her to come by 10:00am, and it was almost 2:30pm now. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and the secretary gave her a tired smile. She had left her business, to be here today and it seemed that was another mistake. A man walked in carrying a carton of noodles, and he went to the secretary and whispered. The secretary gestured in her direction and he waked toward her.
"Please are you Zaire?" the man asked.
"Yes I am"

ALEXA RANTS 2
Hello,Alexa here again.
Okay,so I went on a date with Eze.I'll admit,it wasn't what I expected.The truth is having been through so many first dates,you kinda get bored with the same old routine;"What do you do?,Do you love your job?,what happened in your last relationship? and blah blah blah.It just goes on and on and on like a crappy re-run of a crappy Tv series.
Anyway,I indulged him.

TO LOVE A STRANGER
Jas opened her eyes and stared at the pot bellied man who had been yapping for 30 mins non stop. "why couldn't some people understand that a flight is not a place for loud talking?". Then she looked at the young man beside him whose only crime was being unfortunate enough to get the seat next to mr. yapper.

Friday the 13th
“Death of the angel….Glorify and please….. drops of fire ......purify and release..... The blood link we revere severe other ties... the blood link we share..... none other would spare..." the person crouched in the circle chanted over and over. There were candles lit around, and markings on the ground. The person in the circle was stark naked, it was late just a little past midnight, there was a full moon.

PERFECT FAMILY
Favour looked up and down the corridor, before stepping out of the room. She walked briskly towards the exits carrying a light bundle. She didnt know what she was doing, or why or anything for that matter. she had made the decision without a thought.
She breathed a sigh or relief, when she got out of the building without any incident. She hailed a cab, and got in. Maybe, just maybe today was her lucky day.

WHAT CAN I DO AFTER BEING RAPED?
How does life play these tricks on us? Like a really fast pendulum, one minute you are extremely Happy, and few seconds later, its like the world has crashed on your head.
One minute, my world was complete I was at my happiest and bam..... THE END. I cannot make sense of this, its been three days now and I still don't know what to make of it.
I met Emeka(not his real name of course).We met in church.He wasn't the handsomest of men.He was a little too short for my taste,but he treated me with respect.He adored and loved me.We dated for a few months and then he proposed.I was over the moon.Emeka was every bit the man I wanted (save for his height,but nobody is perfect right?)

ENTANGLED
Maureen got into the car, and Jay drove off. She shuddered to think about what lay before her. No doubt her client would be another one of the numerous old men whose money could buy the city. Their money certainly buys them her body. She looked at the outline of Jay's jaw, and her mind went to the first day she was introduced to him. She had been in a very low point in her life, and made the decision to travel this road. Jay was her transporter. From that day, her worries reduced. She blossomed and was happier than she had been in a long time. Nobody had to know that deep down she cursed the day she was conceived every time she had to endure and pretend to enjoy rendering her services.

GO FIGURE!!!
Happy independence day" he declared with a less than pleasant smile on his face.
Between the blazing sun and the stench from his armpits,I didn't know which offended me the most.
"Gerrout of here!! "I screamed at him, scarcely recognising my own voice amidst the blaring of car horns and the stink of sweat.The Air conditioner wasn't working,and if any body knows traffic is Port Harcourt, a hot afternoon is the worst situation to be in when your AC is bad.

"FACT OR FICTION" ......you decide
Ledum looked at the clock in her office, wondering what was so urgent that she had to drop everything she was doing in the office. But Baridor had sounded frantic on the phone few minutes ago.
“Come to Nina’s house, it is an emergency” she had said. What emergency, she had declined to say.Ah..well...!
Knowing her twin, it could be anything or nothing. Baridor had only one setting; Hyper.
She was an exact opposite of Ledum, whom was always calm and digested events before reacting. It always amazed people how different the girls were. Even as kids, you only needed to looking for the one who couldn’t stay at a place to know which was which.
Physically, they were exactly the same.

NOBODY IS PERFECT!!!
Once upon a time there was a young man named Handsome. As his name implied,he was a handsome man to behold.
He was in his thirties and badly wanted to settle down.But he had a problem....too many women in his life.
They literally came in all shapes and sizes.
Tall,short,fat,slim,ugly,beautiful,rich and poor.
He had a hard time choosing which was going to be his wife.
One night,Handsome said a prayer that went like this,
"Dear lord,please bring me a woman that is Perfect for me,all these girls are good but are lacking in certain areas.
Please help me....Amen!
That night, he had a dream.

THE GIFT
I don't know why People like me exist in the world... .Perhaps we are nature's way of striking a balance between normal and F**kup.
I know my tale may sound outlandish or crazy even.
But it's the truth.
It all started when I was Fifteen.I was involved in a car accident.
Relax,...nobody died.In fact,the most serious injury was mine.
I was thrown from the car and banged my head pretty good against a tree stump.
I blacked out of course, and woke up a day later in a hospital to find my parents standing over my bed.

DO ALL MEN CHEAT?
People will call me "A two faced bastard"but what I am is a man. A "today's man".I love my wife.She's the most amazing woman I've ever known.She's intelligent,Kind,supportive,and faithful.
What more could a man ask for?She's just perfect.
I remember when I lost my job years ago.I thought my life was over....I thought there was nothing left for me.Everyone deserted me....no one gave a crap.
You see,the world is a cruel place when you don't have money.Most women would've walked away.But my wife stood by my side.
She took care of me and the children. For months,she used her money to feed us and take care of the rent.
It wasn't easy.....Things were bad.
No.
Things were f**ked up.

CELL 307
I am really glad you guys enjoy my stories… Not certain how creepy some of them really are, even though Opus says they are super creepy. So I was pulled by my hair, from the couch where I was lounging and reading comments, to my laptop by you know who.
I type this under duress in a padded cell where everything is….. guess…. Guess…. PINK. The usual white padded cells are not my thing I guess. My asylum is a democratic environment as they even let us choose the colour of our cells and even the cell number.
Mine is number 307(smiles knowingly), so come visiting if you dare. Needless to say, a lot of those mad people chose number 666, maybe just to show that they are indeed disturbed in their heads, or just for show. We have over 15 cells with that number on their doors.(way to go crazies).

KARMA'S A BI**H!!!
"I'll give you whatever you want...just don't kill me.....I have a wife and ...a daughter"Jacob ranted in panic as he was shoved to the ground.
The skin on his forehead broke and ripped open as it brushed against the roughness of an unpainted wall.
He let out a screech and was promptly kicked in the ribs.
He stifled a yell.
He could hear them all around him.
He could smell the sweat on their bodies.
