“See, I grew up a church boy,” he started. “I was actually an altar boy at some point. I first served as an altar boy in class seven. I was fascinated by the lifestyle and dedication of priests, at least the ones I got to serve under.” He took a tentative bite from the apple […] More
Sometimes our guts tell us things but we just don’t listen. Not because we don’t want to but because we don’t have the nudge to. We will be waiting to sit on a thorn that will send an electric surge through every goddamn nerve ending causing a high voltage resuscitation on our numb brains. That […] More
You’ve not heard from a friend in quite a long time? Maybe there’s a problem. A problem that forms a very good story but a very big sorry. Or maybe they just made it in life. That one can make quite a good story as well but a good sorry for yourself too. I mean, […] More
“Being a businessman, I’ve grown to know that you cannot appreciate what you’ve not worked for. You have to feel the pain for you to gain. You want shares? You want to sit at the high table? You will have to put effort.” (Read the previous episode here.) Silence. “So in short you’re not giving […] More
I remember the day I met him in Juja City Mall like the day I lost my virginity. Only the part that it was totally beyond anything that could possibly happen to a girl like me. I didn’t see it coming. I felt so lucky yet so thrilled. It kind of scared the eggs out […] More
When his body was found hanging by the ceiling of an abandoned house, they caned him with guava branches before taking him down. Well, yes, they thoroughly wacked a dead man. Probably to confirm whether there was still any residue of life lingering between the abyss of his being and death. What you will read […] More
Pushed Off A Cliff My mouth tastes like something metallic. My hands, tied up tightly, are numb and so are my feet. At the same time, it feels like my joints were broken apart and pieced together with tape. Something that feels like clamps are stuck on my ankles. I want to open my eyes, […] More
She squeezed the flesh of my back with her fingers as if it was dough. Her acrylic nails had dug into my back until the pain from it was next to normal. Like I wanted her to always dig through my back with her nails whenever the thrusts got too good to withhold involuntary body […] More
“I’m not chickening out Telvo. It’s just that…” I said. “Ah! There’s nothing to worry about. Come on sit your ass here and make some friends courtesy of the great shisha.” I looked at the clique and they were looking at me too. Their faces looked like saying “What’s up with this one? Never been […] More
Lying on the floor, helpless. Not moving a muscle. Nerves senseless. Unaware of everything else going on around. In fact, not even aware of whether the world exists anymore. It was a limbo situation. In between worlds. Maybe the world of the living and the world that is the abyss in between the world of […] More
“Listen! I don’t care whether you are at work or in the toilet. Just tell me whether you really love me and I will sure as hell leave you in peace!” She said. “You know…” He began. “You know what my ass! Tell me Eli! To my face, do you love me?” […] More
(This is a continuation of the last week’s blog. If you haven’t read it yet, I kindly recommend that you read it first here before proceeding with this one.) Two and a half hours to dawn. Her vigorous turning in the bed made him wake up. For a moment he thought he had woken up next to […] More
