"Tonight" by Nonso Amadi boomed in the club and people danced to the rhythm. Everyone was having a good time except the ones who didn't wish to or the ones who were denied access to the top floor where the reggae singer patoranking was with few friends. Sean, Jason, and Mason were lucky enough to have made it inside the cubicle without much stress. Mason was a high school classmate with the singer, which made it easier for the trio to enter. In the meantime they were being entertained by patoranking, he was doing a freestyle reggae for them while they listened with rapt attention. While he was on it, Jason kept texting Charlotte and her. Once she found out where he was, she was madder than before blaming him for not telling her beforehand about the club thing with Pato. Jason tried apologizing but she went offline.

Jason turned and twisted weary, he couldn't sleep. Even with the cold weather outside, he was still sweating profusely on his king-sized bed. With firm resolve, he got off the bed,illuminating his room, he entered his bathroom thinking how much he needed the cold shower. Fighting so hard to forget that his psyche has been ruined because of the late-night incident as he preferred to call it in his head. His greatest fear was if the victim was dead. He'd be a murderer, a heartless one. Jason knew he couldn't stomach such truth,Sean, too. But Sean had done well to relinquish the blame on both of them promising Jason that the victim was collapsed and their impulsive decision to flee the scene was the best. Jason knew keenly a part of his mind didn't believe that sorry excuse but he needed pacifying at the moment and Sean did. Once he was done he wrapped his

The office was small for a consultant like Dr. Simon or was it so because of many properties like the bookshelf by the window side containing medical books of different sizes and colors. Maureen looked around her, files were packed on the floor away from trespassing while some on his desk were scattered and rumpled. By her left where the trashcan sat filled with wastepaper and disposed of pieces of equipment, a rickety standing fan rotating at an angle one-eighty constantly blowing hot air. Maureen sighed, wondering why an office would be so disorganized. "Weren't doctors supposed to be well organized and neat?" She imagined it was the problem federal hospitals in Nigeria suffered. Low maintenance.And the doctors and nurses were underpaid. Thereby taking out their bitter frustrations on the patients. She wondered what exactly was taking the old man his time, she'd been sitting around for minute

He hated the smell of hospitals... It nauseated him to the brim. Everyone there always looked somewhat depressed and pitiable and it wasn't a nice feeling at all. Jason adjusted his black nose mask which he intentionally wore to prevent excessive inhalation of the hospital antiseptics and drugs that had become a permanent smell. As he walked through the hallway in search of the cashier section for the final discharge bills with his unkempt curls bouncing all overthe place without care, Jason observed the stolid atmosphere, there were a lot of people trooping in and out of the general hospital all in their world of problems alongside their loved ones. It depressed him to know that such an amount of people fell sick each day. It may sound unbelievable but he never needed to visit a general hospital even at a younger age. But when Mason called the day before, informing him of Sean's attempt to take his own life, Jaso

Touche, if the tear rubber Audi E-Tron that came as a wedding present a few months ago was human, it would be ballistic for the graceless and heavy-handed way Jason drove it in the streets through the highway to the familiar quiet aesthetic area he lived in. The thrill he felt at the latest discovery that Charlotte wasn't pregnant for him was unimaginably relieving. The only thought in his skittish mind was Sophia. His dear wife, to return in her arms as he left her that cold morning, and if only she would still be in her silky nighties with her curls shrouding her high cheekbones and plump lips nothing would give him more pleasure than to cup her in his arms and apologize for his irrationalities and promise her forever together. It would settle any indifference she had towards him. Jason smiled at the thought of something new with Sophia. She was like a breath of fresh air that he'd longed for and he knew deep down

Ernest Bestman paced about in his office deep in thought. His wife and son were seated across him with uncertainty. Jason sat beside his mother feeling uncomfortable and anxious.He was scared of his father's reaction towards his current situation. Yesterday's events had him running on his heels with alacrity for solutions. He couldn't stomach the intensity of what Charlotte had thrown at him the previous day prompting his early rise. As he took a longing glance at his breathtaking innocent wife spread on the rumpled sheets drawing in alluring shallow breaths, the sound a strong sedative, an antidote for his persistent insomnia which had haunted him since the incident that brought them together. He would have loved for nothing more than to lay by her side till whenever the sun was down. Jason shook his head in dismay at his hopeless romantic thoughts. Carefully and unwillingly he s

It rained heavily that night!... He was drunk and drained of energy. He wanted to give up everything so badly but the thought of a lonely someone kept him sane and he wanted to fight for what they had till his last breath. That was his conclusion as he stepped into the dark cold room to find her awake staring into nothingness. His feet felt too heavy to move once her apprehensive gaze fell on him, her countenance changed to that of a stranger. “You still keep them around?” Sophia questioned dryly. Jason stopped moving closer. “What?!.” “What did she want now?” she continued, ignoring his previous question. Jason wanted to explain everything from top to bottom, but the intensity of what he was about to say weighed down on him so much, he was afraid Sophia could not bear it. “Why are you doing this?... What’s your bloody aim Jason?!” she

The August visit!!!... Charlotte rushed towards Jason once her gaze fell on him. It had been weeks and days he had been avoiding her and she didn't know what to do. The first time she came to his house she was dead drunk and didn't know her bearing. She had to prod Sean before he revealed Jason's address. Relieved, was how she felt setting eyes on Jason who looked angry and tired. She fell into his arms before Jason could comprehend a thing. "Baby, thank goodness you're alright. I thought you've gone on one of your disturbing escapades" she showered swift wet kisses on his neck as she clutched to him firmly, afraid he might push her away. Sophia rolled in at that moment to behold the unprecedented drama. This time around, her emotions weren't just everywhere they were drained. After the little fight, they had on their way home she was expecting to return home and rest maybe t
