THE DENIAL(PART 5) Written by E PLUS The Storyteller.

 Esther paced about the entire house, and occasionally peeped through the window for any sign of Princewill.

She had become very anxious, and quite unsure. Tokunbo, her mother walked into the sitting room.

"Relax! He will definitely be here, when a man is ready, he is ready. The moment you told me about his intentions, I knew he wasn't kidding." Tokunbo said.

"Thanks mum,for the reassuring words." Esther responded.

"Come, join me in the kitchen, let's put some finishing-touches to the meal." Tokunbo urged Esther, on.

An hour later, the door bell rang. Esther rushed to the door, and opened it. She almost screamed when she saw Princewill. They both embraced each other, as he stepped in.

"How are you?" Princewill asked.

"I'm good." Esther replied, and they both headed for the sitting room where Esther beckoned on Princewill to take a seat. For a moment, Esther had become quite jittery, as she was short of words. Whilst she stood, staring at Princewill, her mother walked in, from the kitchen.

 Immediately, Princewill stood, and greeted.

"Good morning ma, good to see you." Princewill said, quite courteously.

"My dear, you are welcome, please have your seat." Tokunbo responded.

"So, you are the young man? " Tokunbo said.

"Yes ma'am, the young man who is in love with your daughter." Princewill responded. Tokunbo paused, with a grin on her face. 

"Hmmm, you know...when it comes to two people in a relationship, I tell you.. Love  is not enough." Tokunbo echoed.

Immediately, Princewill and Esther exchanged glances, a bit alarmed. 

"There must be something extra that can make that love stand the test of time. Are you willing to stand by my daughter,  come what may?" Tokunbo asked. Princewill turned to Esther, and after a careful thought, he responded.

"Yes ma'am, I am. I have made up my mind. She is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with." 

"Hmmm...Okay, then. I have little story to share. It's about Esther" Tokunbo said.

Princewill, became more attentive, while Esther became apprehensive.

"Okay ma..." He responded.

  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 ...

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...
