Love season and other beautiful things
Under is on the way
Hey Friend 👋
Everywhere I look, someone is talking about valentine. Okay, I will not say yuck but tell me why the effort this year?
How are you faring?
Are you preparing for a Valentine's day out?
No plans? Don't worry, I will send a special letter just for you.
But, I warn that I might fall in love before Friday. The thing is that my clothes cannot wash themselves and I am willing to love whoever volunteers to do the washing 🤔
Work In Progress
My editor says she is done threatening me. She has given me the freedom to work on other books and even mess up my publishing schedule for the year. This means anything can happen and I am going to publish UNDER before BEHIND A FATHER'S NAME
Read chapter 1
London Bridge is falling down
Editi and Namso had arrived at their usual spot before the other two. It was few minutes to three and if they were quick they could climb up to the fourth floor this time and make it back before any of their parents began to look for them. The others arrived and Chimbueze continued his worrying from where he had stopped in school.
"Look guys, my mother warned me again yesterday. This is dangerous o. Can we play football instead at the field beside your house Editi?"
Benson snickered before Editi could reply, “if you are afraid just talk and stop acting like a girl"
"Is not that. It's just that mummy said..."
"And we do not have mummy too? Editi, let's leave this mummy's boy and do our thing"
"I am not a mummy's boy"
"Enough, let us go. Our target is the fourth floor. Did you bring the phone at at least Chim? Or were you too scared?" Editi said, eliciting laughter from the group.
They started up, Chim muttering how he was a grown man, Namso and Benson following. Editi blew the whistle to mark their ascent.
"Make sure you are recording Chim"
"I am"
For someone scared of heights, Chimbueze was climbing the stairs backwards so he could make a proper video. Editi smiled. He was sure this video would earn them the toughest boys at school title.
They got to the second floor and paused to take a photo. The third floor had holes in the stairs which they carefully went past. At the fourth floor, Namso gave a victory whoop. Chimbueze lost his fears and did a king Kong chest routine. Editi did a little speech as the leader of the group.
"We should go down now please" Chim said pointing to the sky, "it's almost becoming dark."
"Calm d-" Editi started to say before his eyes saw a slab fall. He heard the sound of things falling and that was it.
His eyes were open but was not seeing anything. It was dark. He tried to feel around but his left arm was not moving. Editi tried to remember where he was. He called for Namso, Benson, Chimbueze but there was no response. Worse, he couldn't hear his own voice. Where has it gone to? Where was he? He tried to turn but a sharp pain ripped through his left arm and he screamed. Had the sand buried him? Was he in hell? It was where all the stubborn children would go his mother kept saying. Oh his mother. Was she glad he was in hell? She would be free of his troubles.
His eyes blinked in the darkness and he could feel them stinging with tears. He tried again to call for help, screaming with all his strength. There was no response. Everywhere was silent. He lay there in the dark as faint whispers begin to fill the silence.
