I wrote this after reading the April theme for Quarrtsiluni: Imprisonment. Please let me know what you think and if does feel like somebody who is in prison. Thanks. Away from you Inside these concrete walls with no mercy I sit and cry, tear after tear My body still, under the waves Of my pain [...]

Lurking behind the shadow of gaiety, is a fear that hides behind the beauty. It’s a struggle; it’s survival of the fittest, a war between her calm outside and an inside that’s not at rest. Calm cool terrain it seems to the outside view but inside did pain and anger brew. Tear drops falling on [...]

Picking up my carry-on bag, I marched towards the baggage claim to get my suitcases, sweating profusely; I toyed with the idea of sitting down for a quick minute to regain my strength before proceeding to the baggage claim section but quickly dropped the idea. Knowing fully well that my boyfriend Chris and brother [...]

This was my entry for the “African Writing Flash Fiction Contest”. I guess I see why I didn’t make the shortlist in hindsight. ========================================== The colours red and yellow bring one place readily to my mind- the ancient city of Benin. They remind me of the commercial buses in that city, with their lousy conductors [...]

As others have said, the usual story of salvation. The ending was kind of shocking, though.

Good story, Idoko. Watch out for use of words and tense confusion.
Was the pastor upset that he slapped his wife, or because of Emeka?

This was well written, but I had an ‘akpu’ moment with the story. Um… so, because they were more agile, they were rushing to customers and frightening them away? Could they not have drawn the connection between their new aggressive behaviour and their lack of sales, instead of attributing it to the diet they were [...]

The punctuation used in this story made it very difficult to read - it has a very ‘rushed’ feel to it.

Hey Tola, thanks for your thoughtful comments. Actually, the story is open to interpretation. MC takes us into his background to the road he has walked, a road which many less priviledged men and women walk on their way to success. However, like that picture which depicts a point in time at an unfortunate moment [...]

Forget about that ‘liquid timber’ sentence - this is the one that does it for me:
“I’d like to push past those invisible walls and build new ones around me and you”.
Smoooooooooooooooooooooooth!!!!

You definitely write with intensity, that’s for sure. But I didn’t find the violence in the story realistic at all. In front of his gathered friends with no intervention? For no reason? And he would strip her naked and beat her even in public? I think most domestic abuse takes place behind closed doors; after [...]
