It’s not as far as I thought but then again, I am too busy to really notice. We are both busy. His hands are up my thighs, my breasts, the back of my head like magic on my skin, working me so hard until I throbbed and ached. ‘Ughhh.’ A little moan escaped my lips …
Hello there! I am very pleased to meet you. I am grateful you came to the Grand Opening. Please take a seat and feel comfortable. All good? Okay. Permit me to introduce myself. Standing before you in all his glory(???), is The Igbo Monk. The Monk in the picture was put there to give you …
This can’t be happening! Why?! Why does it hurt so much? It’s burning! I need mummy! ‘Dozie noooooooo! Jesus Christ! God! No!’ I watch as daddy hits mummy. Again and again and again. For some reason, I cannot move. I find it weird. Just a while ago I was screaming at daddy to give me …
‘Nooooo!!! Daddy stop! Daddy, please don’t! Please.’ ‘She’s just a child! Dozie no!’ ‘It’s about time you both learn your place!’ ‘O…la. Ola! wake up. It’s a dream.’ ‘Huh? What?

‘Oh God! oh God! oh God! Please. Please. Please. Please. I’m begging.’ ‘Mummy. What are you saying?’ ‘Hush Lola. Don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine.’ BANG! The door was shut with such an enormous force it rattled the little house they lived in. The stench of alcohol sifted through the house and hit …
I know I did not dream as I slept, because what I saw was too vivid to be a dream. I was different. I felt different. Older. Stronger. Taller. I had memories, different memories from my own- memories of a form of confidence and self assuredness that was new to me. New to Ebuwa that …
It has become a common occurrence now. My earliest memory of it was 11? 12 years ago. I was playing with my brother in our room when I felt my head spin. It was slight, nothing serious and I waved it off. Two minutes later, I felt it again. This time, it came with such …
On our hands and knees, we crawled through a network of tunnels, guided by signs inscribed with numbers. Our candidate numbers, among the few items we were allowed to possess as Low Quality Primates, served as indicators of our eventual destinations. Hovering closely were drones, ready and waiting to painfully discipline anyone that attempted a …
