 ADRENA'S PRIDE.. Written by E PLUS The Storyteller.



"Is it just this hundred thousand naira that you sent that is making you disturb my phone, chief?" Adrena screamed over the phone.

"Ah! My pretty angel, please don't be annoyed, I thought you were less busy." Chief Chukudi pleaded.

"Less busy kor! Less busy ni! Please chief respect yourself o! I said that I will call you when I have the time, for now, let things be! If it is because of the ordinary two hundred thousand naira you just sent, I can return it o! After all it is not up to the amount for my nail polish." Adrena exclaimed

"No, nau... My beautiful angel. Don't be angry, okay... I will not disturb you again, em.. but I will be expectant, ị nụla? (Have you heard?)" Chief Chukudi said, and waited for Adrena's response. Adrena remained silent, and after a while dropped the call.

"Who was that?" Julius, asked.

"Nobody." Adrena replied.

"But you just had a conversation over the phone, few minutes ago, you can't be talking to yourself." Julius, Adrena's brother exclaimed. Adrena remained silent for a while before responding.

"Listen, Julius. You are in no position to question me, I am Adrena, remember?" Adrena reacted.

"Hmmm.. sorry o! Miss Adrena." Julius replied.

"Better!" Adrena said.

"One Jerry came to look for you while you were out with the other guy..." Julius said.

"Ehn! What did you tell him?" Adrena exclaimed.

"I just told him you went somewhere." Julius replied.

"Thank Goodness! I thought you had said something stupid." Adrena said.

"Well, this is just from a brother to a sister; I think you should just make up your mind, and settle  down with one man. All dis waka-waka with different men, e no make sense o! E go burst one day o! And the gbege no go funny o!" Julius said. Adrena became quite upset.

"Julius! You know what? You are going to stay with aunty Ruth. I can't accommodate your insults anymore." She amended.

"But... It's just an advice." Julius lamented.

"Well, you have over stepped your boundary, this time." Adrena said.

"I waited for you yesterday, but to no avail. You would have at least called back to tell me that you won't make it." Tony lamented.

"Ahan! So, now, that I'm here, nko? Please Tony, I don't have time for all dis wahala, my time is very precious to me, besides you are not the only one seeking for my attention." Adrena reacted, angrily.

"Okay... Okay... I'm sorry. I was just a bit upset but it's okay." Tony said.

"Better. So what about the money? I should be traveling to Dubai this weekend, so I need to take care of some things." Adrena said.

"No problem at all, but I will miss you o! Anyway, here is the money I was able to raise." Tony said as he handed an envelope to Adrena. Immediately, she opened the envelope.

"Oh my gosh! Fifty thousand naira! How nau! What is fifty thousand naira?  Fifty thousand naira that can't even buy me, a plate of the kind of food I  would like to eat on a  very good day! Tony! What do you take me for? Is this the way you want to win me over?" Adrena lamented.

"Em.. I am really sorry Adrena, business has been a bit tight, but.. I ... I...

"Please spear me the rubbish talk, I'm out of here! When you are ready with the balance, then we can talk" Adrena interrupted Tony, as she walked away with the money.

"Adrena! My love! Adrena..." Tony said, as he called out, running after Adrena. Just immediately, a luxurious car parked by, and a man dressed in white stepped out.

"Hello! Why are you running after my woman?" The man said as he confronted Tony, while Adrena walked into the car.

Tony stood still for a while, as he remained speechless.

  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  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
