THE GREEN EYED MONSTER...

By E PLUS The Storyteller.


He was my best friend, or so he taught! Or else How can you explain the outrage and uncontrollable emotions I had muddled up in my head, all in the name of vengeance...

   Indeed, the 'devil walks in the dark!' and works hand in hand with the notorious
'Green eyed monster'.

I have been a victim of exploitation and injustice all my life, and this accounts for the roller coaster of emotions! But I know, It wasn't intentional, I just..., I just...

  Well, it all happened that fateful night, my best friend(Najite), had called me up for a concert- he wanted us to go and see one of the famous act of all times, he was so excited. Then I had the perfect plan(well, almost perfect) that would change everything, for the worse!

I had always thought that being a victim of failed relationships was Najite's fault, all my ex girlfriends ended up with him! 

They(all) wanted him, I can't say what the attraction was, but he had a way with ladies...  So, despite all his claims to be innocent and oblivious of all the happenings, I never forgave him! I was only counting the days and minutes, I would actually have my pound of flesh!
So, you can imagine how elated I was, when the opportunity, came knocking on my door. Without any hesitation, I obliged him, and got prepared.

"Obus, I don near your house o! You go come out sharp! Sharp! We are almost late for the concert, abeg Na front seat I want make we stay." Najite exclaimed, over the phone.

"No wahala! I don ready" I responded, and the call ended.

Few minutes later, Najite called, and in no time I was out of the house. Hidden in my pocket was a weapon, I intended to use. I had made up my mind to deal with Najite- he was having such a good life despite all that he had done to me! I wanted vengeance! As I stepped into the car, Najite was all smiles.

"How far?" He asked.

"I dey." I replied.

"Oya nau! This is it o! One of the biggest concert of all times!" Najite said, excitedly.

"Na so!" I responded, while I reached out for the weapon in my pocket, and immediately Najite started the car, I pounced on him without mercy!

Needless to say, I was shaken, just seeing the brutality I had inflicted on him.
Najite, never made it! And before long, I was arrested, and locked up, behind bars.
I have spent half of my entire sentence in prison, thus far and I must say:

THE GREEN EYED MONSTER led me to my actions, and I should have been wise enough not to have given in- nothing justifies my actions, I truly regret it!

  GREEN LAND... Written by E PLUS The Storyteller. "You should have seen the way chief was looking at me last night? Emini said with so much delight. "Eh ehn! Like seriously? But...wait ooo what about his Olori?" Sofunmi replied.   For a moment, Emini became quite upset, and she faced the other way.  "What kind of useless question is that?  I'm I the Olori's keeper? Is it my fault that her husband's eyes caught mine? Jor o!" Emini snapped.  "Oya nau! Pele!(Sorry), mabinu oremi, jor!(Don't be upset my friend, please)." "Hmmm!

The Wailing Creatures Written by Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola

The Wailing Creatures  W ritten by Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola     With a big smile on and shiny gleaming teeth plastered on my sweaty face, I step inside the dusty building with the big bold inscription: ‘ WELCOME TO THE ZOO!’  As I walk around with my black heels making a pit-pat, click-clack sound, my eager brown irises get locked in a trance with the brownish red Hawaiian bird. The bird’s fluffy feathers gently ruffles, and his sad eyes stare at mine. ’13 YEARS OLD’ the sign on the cage says. I take a deep, heavy breath and trudge forward.           “Oooh!” the wail of a mama chimpanzee reaches my sensitive ears, causing my skin to have a minute goosebumps.    Heartbreaking scene of a mother chimpanzee and her child in black, rusted chains and anguished expressions on their faces, permanently etches itself in my head. ‘MOTHER: 29. BABY: 4’ sign, displays.           My white eyeballs blur as I get teary-eyed with my heart throbbing in my chest. The ground suddenly rumbles and

That’s NOT my father! Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola

      That’s NOT my Father!       Sumayyah Oluwafunbi  Ogunsola              It’s a bleak, dark late evening accompanied by torrent of rain and the howling of the wind; the power is out. My father and I sit down in the parlour, looking at each other and sighing in disappointment, as our fun day out was ruined. I glance at our pet cat, Tata, to see that she is fast asleep.               Exasperated, my father launches himself on the sofa and says to me, “I am going to get Starbucks. Wait for me.” Worried, I respond “In the rain, and at this time, dad? You have heard how dangerous people lurk in the cloak of darkness...” He cuts me off. Tells me there is nothing to worry about and that he would be back soon, after all, 'he is just going to Starbucks, right?' I shut the door behind him. 10 minutes. 15 minute… Tick tock! Tick tock!  I get irritated as an hour has passed since dad left the house. My hand trembling, I am about to dial the emergency number, when... Bang! Ba
