All Chapters of Something On The Inside: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

MiaI took my glasses off and yawned out loudly. I was famished, all because I had been writing about a Parent who impregnated his own daughter for the past three hours. Proofreading, carrying out self edit, and also reducing my use of big grammars, so as not to give people the headache of going to check a dictionary countless time, before moving over to read the second paragraph.I wanted my readers to understand my story. Although, I needed to add some lie, to make the story seem more interesting, and to make it lengthier.The story was short but I wanted it to be lengthy because my grumpy old boss, Mr Derrick never ceased the opportunity to lay constant complains whenever I wrote short articles or news. He usually read the story before it would undergo publishing.Currently, I was having slight pains on my f

AlexWe had been at the bar for the past two hours and Bolu had been talking non-stop despite the loud disquieting music blaring from the speakers. I wasn't interested in what she was saying because I didn't like talking.She had arrived at my house that evening when I was in my study. Clad in jeggings, jacket, boots and excessive make up on her face, insisting we go grab some drinks. She had had a hectic day at work and wanted to spend sometime with me.She ordered for soft drinks while I ordered for beer. She was on her third bottle now, while I was still on my second. I was tired of her ranting and was getting irritated.Bolu and I had been dating for two months, and the damn woman couldn't understand my person. Had no idea that I despised it when people talked non-stoppingly. She was no

BoluThe sound of buzzer and dogs barking made me stir, as I hugged the pillow tighter, pressing my face into it. The stupid barking increased and I grudgingly sat upright, and ran my hand through my wildly tangled hair. I stretched my foot looking for one pair of slipper I had worn last night. I could feel my lips twitching into a pout.I yawned with my hand fisted against my mouth, stretched my arms and wore the comfy bedroom flip-flops I had worn last night. The air conditioner had made them cold though.Wondering why Alex wasn't in bed with me, I decided to head into his study.The damn guy must've slept in there. But he wasn't there when I got in. Meanwhile, barking of the dogs had gone out of control, like the were having mental disorder.

Charles"Congratulations you idiot, you just got caught. Now keep your gun down, raise your hands up, and turn around." I yelled, aiming the gun at the thief who had his back to me. He and three other guys went about robbing First Bank. We were called by a lady who hid in the restroom when she saw the thieves.When I and my colleagues arrived, we caught two of the thieves who were hijacking people's phones, money and jewelries.We succeeded in arresting them.Unsatisfied, because there were two thieves to be caught and handcuffed, I left my colleagues and went out all alone, in search of the thieves. Because I felt they were still in the building. And not too long ago I caught one trying to escape through the fence with the bag of money in his gloved hands.He kept the bag and gun down, raised h

MiaRachael Okafor, the owner of Five Star Luxury Hotel at Lekki was hosting a party that evening in her hotel.Only the wealthy people in town had access to be invited; Ministers, Commissioners, Musicians, Celebrities, and so on.But somehow, I stole the invitation card from the post man who was delivering the invitation cards.I was at the park that saturday afternoon, watching parents, children and young couples having fun, and letting the cool breeze soothe my physical frame, when a postman stopped his motorcycle at the side of where I was sitting. And hurried into the bushy part of the park to take a piss. Poor guy must have been pressed.The nosy part of me urged me to stand up, take the lead of the box, and peeked in. That  was how I saw Rachel Okafor's name written on one of the inv
