It was going to be my last meal in my already hopeless life..the meal wasn't even  enough for me and my only child who was down with malaria for weeks unending, and I couldn't even afford medications.  He laid on the bed and stared at me desperately. " Mama! Will I die ?" He asked with his voice that already sounded frail. I sighed and looked away. Actually, the food I was about to share with my son was poisoned! Yes! Poisoned! I poisoned it! I wanted to end it all! The suffering was too much jare! Right before my own eyes.. everything was falling apart...I really couldn't give my son an answer. However, more determined than ever, I was ready to end it all! " Don't worry son everything will be fine." I replied. I took the food and placed it on the table. Then I took a spoon and as I proceeded to eat first, my son interrupted. "Mama.. we've not prayed over ...

  MY NEW NEIGHBOUR   Written by E PLUS The Storyteller It was just like every other day, safe for the light thunderstorm, so I decided to take a brief walk . I had not gone too far when I saw a van drive into the neighborhood and a young dark guy stepped out! He headed straight for the vacant house and unlocked the door. For a moment, I just stood still and stared, looked like he had just moved in. Within seconds, he stepped out of the house with some empty cartons and stood still while he looked around, seemed like he was indecisive about where he wanted to drop them. " Good day! Looking for where to dispose, those ?" I quickly jumped in to offer some help.  " Oh! Well, yes! I.. I am not sure where." He replied as our eyes met. " Okay, just let me have them, and I will take it from there. " I said. " Very well...thank you so much ." He responded as he handed the cartons to me.  " Do you stay around ?" He asked, almost immediately.  ...

  THE SHOELESS ONES  (An adaptation of the story of a world football Champion- Pele). Commentary by E PLUS The Storyteller ✍️ In the early hours of the day, at 6.00am, I was already up, and after I had said a word of prayer, a lot was on my mind- from all the creative contents and stories that were brewing in my head to the situation in the country, after a while, I decided to join my hubby in the sitting room.  That was when I bumped into this phenomenal movie about a world football champion- Pele, I had to rename it: 'THE SHOELESS ONES' (A line in the movie) because for me, this is where the message of the story lies. Imagine a group of young lads with so much strength of passion for the round leather game (Football) that never allowed anything to deter their focus, not even when they did not have shoes to play, during football competitions. They were mocked, and given the name: 'The Shoeless Ones' yet chose to convert this mockery into their motivation, particularly...
