Fathersanddaughters Stories

A collection of short stories and writings I have created over the past several years. I never thought these would be shared. Here we go I guess....

"Some stories are written in ink, Others, in the heart... This one is both." When seventeen-year-old Essie discovers an old leather journal beneath her father's bed, she expects forgotten receipts or notes from a life too ordinary to matter. What she finds instead is a past pulsing with heartbreak, fire, and a love that refused to die. Through the pages of her father Henry's journal, a decades-old secret unfolds - of Uju, the woman who haunted his silence, and the journey that took him from desire to devastation, and from loss to redemption. Set against the vibrant backdrops of Ibadan, Abuja, Lagos, and Enugu, Henry's Journal is a hauntingly beautiful tale of what happens when two souls collide at the wrong time... and still try to love anyway. This is a story about the ones who leave lasting marks, the ones who carry them, and the children caught between memory and truth. Love isn't always a fairytale. But sometimes... the truth is more powerful than the ending.

This poem is a reflection of the hurt and anger that comes from acknowledging that the relationship you have with your father as a young woman is no longer something positive in your life. In fact, it hurts you and breaks you down everyday. These words represent the struggle of learning to let go of the value you place on the people in your life who's actions have proven to only triggers the lows of your struggles with mental health. I hope that anyone who takes the time to read this poem is able to connect with the struggle of parental relationships and perhaps, feel less alone while experiencing their own challenges.

SILVER WINGS A Sci-Fi Fantasy of Love, Loss, and Lunar Rebellion Eddie Gammon once believed the greatest tragedy in his life was the loss of his wife and daughter. A grieving physicist in a snow-covered town built on secrets, Eddie is a man haunted by legacy-and shadows he cannot explain.

Her name is Selene "Luna" Nyanga-a silver-winged warrior from the Moon, fleeing Earth's secret military faction known only as Blue Diamond. Injured and hunted, she crashes into Eddie's life with a message that will shatter everything he thought he knew: his daughter Melody may not be gone... and his family's history is tied to a truth buried beneath centuries of lies.
