Before We Say Goodbye – Six

BERNADINE FELT LIKE she was lying on clouds. It was a feeling unlike any other. She couldn’t see the clouds. She looked around but couldn’t make out any distinct shape or color. Everything looked hazy. She only felt like she was safe. She was on something soft and comfy. Only that…her head ach

Drumbeats

The drumbeats resounded in his head as he jogged on the well-worn path he’d jogged on for 23 years, 6 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, and 5 hours. He loved every tree and each of them had an inscription from the well-worn sharp edge of his army knife. Some had his initials and 3 had

Nuna – Pt Five

Amerley ran to lied down again on the bed and quickly covered herself up with a cloth. She’d heard footsteps on the porch. It was hard forcing herself to breathe in deeply. Her husband could smell her fake-sleeping a mile away. This, however, wasn’t the night for it. Narteh entered the room to c

In The Dark

Jules had never liked the dark. It always reminded him of all those years when his late father locked him up in his wardrobe as his punishment for doing something wrong. Seeing a wardrobe or being in the dark always reminded him of that period in his life. Being in the dark. He’d once been

Nuna – Pt Four

ASOR STOPPED. SHE wanted to run out after her but felt it would be a bad idea. She’d wait for some minutes and let someone go for her. Perhaps her nephew Adjei. She remembered hitting Nuna and felt like a heel. Nothing could justify what had happened. A thought occurred to her. How would Nukunu

The Vow

Kuma looked into Jewel’s face behind the veil. He could still see the fear in her eyes. Fear of marrying him. He had taken it personal 7 months ago when she’d told their counselors on their first day of meeting them that she was scared of marriage because of what she’d witnessed in

Straight In The Head

It was a quiet Monday evening. Too quiet. Frimpong was lying down on his bed lost in dreamland, fantasizing about sweet Adjeley. That girl always made his heart skip a beat. He was so crazy over her. A fleeting thought about going to lock the gate was instantly replaced by the sweet smile she gave

Sarah

Sarah stooped to check what was baking in her oven. She’d popped in a full chicken on vegetables and beef loaf. The aroma was heavenly. She straightened up and went to check on the Jollof on fire. Also cooking nicely. This was one of the days she liked to prepare food as she preferred it.

Friendship in Unlikely Places

The day that had started out to look so promising, was now running out of control. I needed to get a car to the Tema Station in Accra and I was lost. I wanted to go and buy some ‘broni w’awu’ as sometimes they were cheaper there than the ones sold at Kantamanto.  I’d reached

Before We Say Goodbye 5

KAAKYIRE WAS SO deep in his thoughts that he didn’t realize when the car stopped. “Boss, we catch oh,” from the driver was what alerted him. He shook himself mentally and handed over the required fare. He alighted and nearly blacked out. He felt dizzy all of a sudden. He wanted to think it was

Living

This is for the one who thinks life has just passed them by.   This is for the one who thinks that waiting is just too long and want to do everything to get their way.   Before you do anything, read this. A donkey called Oldie once groaned under the heavyweight his master, Kit,

The Test – Part Three

Tickles was mumbling under her breath. It was a long list of expletives she’d learned from one of her relatives, a sailor who was always happy to unleash his acid tongue on just about everyone anytime he downed the better half of a whiskey bottle. That vocabulary served her well as she jogged
