          Written by E PLUS The Storyteller.



In less than an hour, Steve was at my place! Initially when the door bell rang, I wasn't sure if he was the one, until I opened the door. For some minutes, I just stared at him, then with a smile, and warm embrace, I let him into the house, still thrilled at his swift response, it was already few minutes pass 8.00pm.

"So, tell me were you daring me when you asked me to come over?" Steve said as he stared keenly into my eyes. For a minute, I was lost for words, and responded with a grin on my face.

"You know? You really got me there! I guess I pushed my curiosity, and it worked." I replied.

"Or, let's just say I'm in luck!" Steve said.

"You mean...?" I stressed.

"Well our date just got fast forwarded." Steve said, and we both laughed. Then headed for the Kitchen to get a drink, and turned to Steve.

"Water or juice?" I inquired.

"Your company is enough." He replied.

"Oh! Really? At least you should take something." I insisted. With a heavy sigh, Steve succumbed, and opted for water. While we talked, and laughed I felt quite relaxed, and wasn't looking forward to Steve leaving anytime, soon. Suddenly, my phone rang, it was Mike. Wasn't so sure if I wanted to receive the call, but I knew better so I answered with a hush tone.

"Hello."

"Loretta, I don't understand what's going on, but I really need some explanation." Mike lamented, almost immediately.

"I don't understand." I responded.

"What's with the attitude these days, not even a single return call, have you checked your missed calls?" Mike stressed on. Quickly, I pulled down my notification bar, and realised I had nine missed calls from Mike, then my heart skipped about.

"I'm so sorry, can't seem to explain how that happened, maybe my phone reverted to the silent mode." I pleaded, and after a momentary silence, Mike replied.

"Well, I'm heading to your house, now. We need to talk, it's quite urgent." Then, I panicked, wasn't so sure how close Mike was to the house. I hesitated for a moment.

"Are you still there?" Mike echoed.

"Sure, I am still here. How soon will you be here?" I asked nervously.

"I'm close to the gate." Mike said. Immediately, I ended the call, and turned to Steve, he stared at me curiously.

"Is something wrong?" He inquired.

  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
