♠We are all tragedies, waiting to happen._Chisom EzeShe was used to the cold welcome the lush walls of her home welcomed her with, she was used to its emptiness the interior graced her feet with when she walked in. The warm feel of the air caressing her skin. She was used to it all. But today, All of it pricked her skin, pouring a solemn feeling all over her.Benny wasn't waiting by the door as usual and she found it odd. The cool air emitting from the air conditioner grazed her skin as usual, she pulled off her shoes, slipping her feet into a pair of fuzzy flip flops, upon raising her face up to see through the empty exuberant house, she stilled. Her frozen eyes drilled into the one person who happened to be a lady seated on a plush couch with legs crossed and eyes skimming a magazine. A glass of orange juice placed in front of the lady looked untouched. The woman adjusted the robes which she wore, then reached out to touch the her hair wrapped around like a crown before flippin
♠Stone cold, stone cold, you're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone.♠★"Thank y'all for coming around to celebrate my success with me. For reals, acting alongside with Desmond Ukeme in our upcoming movie was awesome...." She gestured to a guy who raised his glass to her in acknowledgement as the crowd booed whilst she continued."And asides your girl hitting it off around the world, I wanna say I'm grateful. It's all thanks to y'all." She paused, plastering a puppy gaze as she held her hands to her chest in gratitude as the crowd cooed and Awwww-ed at her."Anyways, enjoy the party, I am April Waje and welcome to my world!!" A blast of fire works shot through the air as loudcheers burst out from the crowd, DJ swung into another afro beat and the party once again turned fire.She shook her head, catching up with the speech-like closing remark April made upstage in her fairy designed mini dress and purple hair which she stylishly crowned with a makeover that made her ef
♠'cos the hole inside my heartis stupid deep. Stupid deep♠★The Earth is small, definitely spherical and most definitely always revolving around the sun. But why did it seem like our vast little world revolved around our darkest chaos?The little things we expect, we desire, we long for, they just never seem to align with our luck. If she didn't know better, she would have concluded that we have been Ill-fated from our diaper days, from the day we formed our existence in the womb that bore us.Maybe such ill fate could explain labor pains. The chaos that tallied with the shrill cries we unconsciously let out to embrace our disaster patiently waiting to rip our senses into shreds and control our lives in such catastrophe.And such ill fate could only be the most logical explanation of why today of all days, of all the time in the world, of all places should Yara Chizaram Williams crash into Tola Makinde?Tola held a red cup and slurred out incoherent words, peering straight at Yara
♠All good boys go to heaven but bad boys bring heaven to you.♠★Yara held the door handle hesitantly, the room was dark though the glassy windows which displayed the night sky as though it illuminated the universe struck streaks of moon light into the room making it look beautiful and enchanting but distant. Her eyes scanned the whole area of the room, indeed it was in disarray, his pillows were strewn to the ground, his big sized duvets sprawled hopelessly on the bed and even his photographs laid carelessly on the floor-a few already smashed to pieces. Even his Bible was tossed on the floor.Her heart ached badly, picking up his Bible along with her as she quietly crept into the room, halting a little when she noticed his shoulders sag in resignation, he was holding a sheet of paper-clutching at it with his unspoken emotions and at some point, he broke down in silent cries. Jesus! She looked on, feeling her chest clench tightly together, pent up emotions immediately let itself
♠Till the day there's none...★Life is just another cycle of emotional turmoil. We come with nothing, knowing no one and we'd leave with nothing, taking no one except the helplessness of our demise. Sometimes it feels like we're actors and actresses playing out a script and the world as a stage. We don't change anything, just do whatever the script says.He liked to believe we just have missions to fulfill according to the principle of nature and I liked to believe it was unfair. I want to take control of my life and not feel like a programmed machine carrying out orders. I want to be able to change situations and possibly change the world.But that's the problem with humans, everyone wants to change the world, to gain control. And life just ends up all chaotic again.“What are you thinking about?” His voice drew her from her reverie, using her thumb to slowly run down his cheeks.“Nothing.”“Hm hmm” he groaned in disagreement, stirring his eyes wide awake to be greeted by her slen
♠All my windows still are broken,but I'm standing on my feet♠★Sarah was ready to have that talk. She had stalled for too long anyway, hoping not to run into his existence yet it didn't help the fact that they were in the same class and asides culinary arts and music, they took almost all subjects together which meant one thing-bumping into each other more than often.Today was one of those days she bumped into George- George with his smooth hair cut, fine lips, intriguing eyes and talented hands. It made her turn into a mush of uneasiness especially recalling that night in his car...the easy slid of his fingers caressing her skin and his lips kissing all parts of her...Snap out of it Sarah! You just threw his phone off his hands. Her subconscious reminded. She bent down almost immediately he did to pick his phone, his hands slightly brushed against hers and she quickly drew her hands back. "Hey, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." She stuttered, looking up at him. Her brows creas
♠To forever after friendships...Sarah Okoye★"Your friend's name keeps trending everywhere. Rumor has it that she comes from a broken family." The light skinned woman with her perpetual red coated lips, commented as she scrolled through her phone with a satisfied smirk. They were seated around a glassy table with plates of food neatly placed on it. She glanced at her mum who had a concentrated solely on her phone. It's been ten minutes now and all her mum had managed to talk about at dinner was April's leaked secrets. About her secret boyfriend and her dad."Honey we're at dinner right now as a family. I'd appreciate it if you drop the phone or better still put it away." That was her father. He had managed to keep his tone leveled but she could sense the irritation underneath his cool tone. Her mum glanced up, eyebrows arched up and an impassive expression."Excuse you for preventing me from relishing this moment, our daughter just bade good riddance to the one persistent objecto
♠An olive branch-an extension of forgiveness and friendship.♠•It's past twelve and her world is spinning. It's like the world is suddenly revolving around her, rolling her over and tossing her outer space. Yet she's lost-staring blankly at no one in particular and basically speechless. It would be better to say she was struggling for words but right now, the least she could do was struggle further. Not after the world had submerged her in its unfairness. Her life was finally starting to make meaning. Not so much though, but she was starting to embrace the lemons life had thrown at her, make them into lemonades just to see it turn sour again, the kind of sour that made you wish to become ageusia. She is standing right in the midst of chaos. confused and shocked. Kim still has his grin and she didn't expect him to lose it anyway, he was back from the hospital after all so if anything else would make him smile wider than he was already, it is the fact that he thinks he is finally v
