"We are here," they radioed the Supreme Court, transmitting videos and images.It was immense, up to five times larger than Earth. "Earth 5.0," they called it. It deserves its own name, they thought to themselves."They’ve arrived, Captain," the colonel announced. The Supreme Aid was on deck and didn't wait for the Captain to relay the message.He got up immediately, signaling at the colonel. She handed the headset to him."Visuals."The color green covered the screen. They couldn't make out what they were looking at."Zoom out," he instructed.He ...
Ada lives a much more luxurious life than her boyfriend's. It was a , a bedroom flat, she was able to afford it from her online jobs and her office job as a sales representative plus her father helped pay for it. She went to her fridge as soon as she got in and popped a bottle of Coke. And took some meat pies she had made out Half was packed in an envelope and given to Mezuo, and about 4 more were left for herself. She went into the sitting roms and lay on the couch, drawn by the quietness she dozed off. And when she awoke, it was late eveni...
Late nights are the most unsafe. I know this because I have been there before, a victim of the night. I am all too familiar with the dark cruel face of the night. Way long ago we, yes we were young and full of life. Hands intertwined, eager to get to the movie but, rather we four encountered a manic. The darkness engulfed our screams and kept us hidden as we experienced a harsh reality. I got off better than the rest of my three friends. We couldn’t stay together, we were reminders to each other, and we went apart. Living separate lives now,...
The light in this old fire place flickers, to the left, then to the right dancing to the tune of the breeze that roams the room. The night creeps in, accompanied by its companion that rustled waving words. The blazing blue-red is now threatened by the wind that hustles in through the window left open.This very house where the fire flickers has only this fire as its light source. The fire barely hides the darkness of the night, but only cast the shadows of all the crawling creatures and every other life form absent. This room of the...
Tomorrow will be valentine’s Day, how exciting. I don’t do Val, but what is exciting? Well, there will be the chocolates. Now I was not a great fan of chocolate, never was but on one unfaithful evening last year, I bought chocolate on 15 February.

I open and took a bite. It was heavenly. I think there we...

With its tapered top, the sun on its tip crowned it glorious. Chansardin temple. It stood tall one look and you’d know this was no ordinary place. This one temple, where the lost made home and unwanted are brought to. The priest taught these lives the ways of life, the art of life. And how to channel their energy. Evil hatches here and threatens to destroy the world, goodness nurtured within it blessing the world. But never has it seen a fire that burns like this one, like Samsidine. He has what everyone wants, people with the power wa...
“Again!” I said out loud, “again!” Every time you do this. I told you today is the carnival but someone just came in and told you it wasn’t today and you believed her. Why can’t you just trust that you are right for once and listen to yourself? You had this date in your head all week and you’ve been waiting for it. Damn! I can’t believe you missed the carnival. The Ankara trouser with the Black English straight cut top I planned on wearing, with the multicolored button necklace my aunt bought from Zimbabwe and a Rolex watch. The amalgam of n...
