maputohq: Ade couldn't believe it. He had just escaped from hell. He kept on running as fast as his feeble legs could carry him. It was getting dark but the forest seems to be getting longer. After running for two hours, he decided to rest. The kidnapper's den should be far behind now, he thought to himself. He fell on the ground and slept off, snoring heavily. He was awakened by a loud noise, only to see a scary figure with a torch light. A startled Ade let out a violent kick straight to its groin. He ran for an hour before seeing the main road. Alas! Ade has rendered his father impotentrotfl!!! his dad? it cud hav bin anyone mahn.people dont smash their father's balls.nice story tho. |

Ada dressed up and left for Ade's place. .............. ''Pour more tonic on your lips''Chinedu said while Ade adjusted himself on the bed. There was a knock on the door,Ada walked in and sat by Ade's bed. ''I still love you,please don't break up with me.''Ada said Ade rolled his eyes like a dying patient,'' I...i... have Ebola.'' Ada jumped outside,she stood there,''Ah Ade,we have broken up already.'' 2 Likes |

The man from otuoke- The man from otuoke was running from one neighbour to another; his wife had just given birth to triplets, he felt he was hapless because he couldn't raise the money for his kid's naming ceremony on his own and moreover he didn't know how he will take care of his family after the naming ceremony. It was the sound of his room's intercom that woke him up from this bad dream.He picked the phone and the Lady from the other end asked him if his breakfast should be brought to him in bed;he asked what's for breakfast? and the lady replied its fried rice and chicken;Bring me the food replied the otuoke man at least that will put my mind away from this dreadful dream. |

WE ARE ABLE We are disabled, yet this class-teacher keeps saying we are able. "You speak with your hands and listen with your eyes. It doesn't really matter through what organ of the body you hear and speak. There is gain in being deaf and dumb," says my class-teacher. I was with lame James, blind Belinda and bold Bode, an able-bodied bully when the Ikeja Army Cantonment suddenly got bombed. Only Bode could flee because he wasn't disabled. I didn't even hear the gargantuan sound. Bode's corpse was brought. He had sunk in the canal, but we disabled were ABLE to survive. 4 Likes |

THE PROPOSAL. He looked up at her, expectant for a reply, the floor beneath his bent knee quite uncomfortable but he didn’t mind. He’d kneel all day if he had to. Six months ago his friends had called him a fool, that he was her latest maga, he’d ignored them and showered her with gifts even though he could barely afford it. Now, here they all were, friends, family, he had popped the question and she seemed about to speak after what had seemed like ages. He smiled confidently, she'd promised they would be together, forever! “ummm ... I'm sorry, I can't" 1 Like |

Final Moments. She was tired of crying now. All she could do was walk towards the school gates and wait for the inevitable. They had threatened to kill her family if she didn't go. And so she approached the gates, crowded with people and securitymen. She looked at their faces as she approached, innocent faces, faces of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children. Were they not as important to others as her family was to her? Would she trade her sorrow for the sorrow she would bring upon them? The security man saw her coming and approached her.He smiled. "What can I do for you miss?" It was then she made her decision. She turned and ran, ran as fast as she could for a deserted spot. The security man called after her, not understanding, not knowing she had just saved his life. And then the bomb went off. She was the only casualty. 2 Likes |

To Die Another Day: "For the love of God help me!!" My cries were wasted on deaf ears. I ran faster than I ever did in my life, my heart pounded as though it would burst out of my chest, my legs burned and ached in agony. And yet I ran. The sounds of bestial roaring echoed around the dark forest... It's pants and grunts reverebrating chills down my spine, its warm stinky breath against my neck, and the pounding of feet deafening my ears. There was nowhere left to run. I turned around and faced my chaser, empty soulless eyes gazed at my soul, two large horns and sharp bloodied teeth. Claws as scaley and boney as an old womans fingers. It's skeletal skull of a head alight in bright blue flames. It bellowed a ground shaking roar. And then lunged. Claws slashed through the air at blinding speed, a large gush of crimson red, coppery smelling liquid followed thereafter. And then all I remembered was the look of glee on it's ghostly haunting pale eyes..... 1 Like |

PANTAPHOBIA Susan woke up suddenly. She heard gun shots. She started shivering like a leaf in the wind. She heard voices from her younger brothers' room. Had the robbers gotten there already? She got up to investigate. Bruuuh! Bruuuuh! She couldn't help farthing loudly. Fear had loosened her bowels. She sneaked to her brothers' room and gently opened the door. She was shocked to see them by the window, staring out. "Sister, our jandon neighbors have come again with their fireworks and wild parties!" She couldn't say a word. She just stood there in a pool of her own urine and incessant farthing. |

A Thousand Tears "It's time." The doctor informed her when he came out of the private room. Doris sighed and looked up in despair. She tried to convince herself they were doing the right thing. She followed the doctor inside the room. There her dad lay like a vegetable. Tears poured down her eyes like a flowing river. She held his cold hand in hers. "O dad! I'm so sorry. All our funds have depleted and no one will lend us money anymore. Mummy couldn't bear to be here. I love you, dad. Adieu." Pinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! The doctor pulled the plug! 2 Likes |

Saved "Stop her!" "Don't let her get away!" She ran as fast as she could as the raging mob followed in hot pursuit. her chest heaved with laboured breaths as she looked for a place to hide. As she turned the corner she saw an empty shop and dashed inside. "Please help me! I didn't steal anything! They'll burn me alive! Help..." She collapsed on the floor, weeping profusely. The young man quickly threw some clothes over her and in the darkness she heard shouts. "Where the thief?!" "Follow straight!" She sighed as the mob ran past. She was safe. |
