Darkness presses against your eyelids. Open or closed, it makes no difference - the void remains absolute. Your hands reach out, grasping nothing. Up becomes down becomes sideways becomes nowhere. Your breath catches. Lungs burn. Panic rises like bile in your throat. Fight. Move. Run. But where? Your feet stumble over themselves as reality blurs. The darkness wraps around your ankles, thick as tar, patient as stone. Then... silence. The frantic drumbeat of your heart slows. The void no longer suffocates - it cradles. Like sinking into warm water, the darkness seeps into your bones. No more running. No more fear. This is what you were fighting? Here, in the ancient dark, truth whispers. It has waited eons for you, watched civilizations rise and fall, held secrets older than time. You understand now - the darkness isn't empty. It's everything. It's you. Let go. Become whole.

The poem "UNIBEN'S ORCHARD" is inspired by an actual orchard located near the Faculty of Arts in the University of Benin. Over the course of a month, I noticed that the orchard became a sacred place where students sought communion with God-an oasis of peace amidst the busyness of university life. The trees, standing tall as silent sentinels, seemed to offer spiritual refuge to those in need of solace and prayer. The orchard is always busy with students, praying, meditating, and reflecting. It's more than just a place-it's a sanctuary where faith meets study, and where the heart finds peace. Observing the vibrancy of this spiritual environment, I was inspired to capture the essence of this divine connection in my poem. It is composed of twelve lines, following an AABBCCDDEEFF rhyme scheme, reflecting the harmony I observed in the orchard-a harmony between the students and their pursuit of both knowledge and divine grace. I hope my poem speaks to anyone who has found peace or strength in the midst of their academic journey, just as I did in the Orchard.

There's a name she's been avoiding her whole life. Not because she hates him - though she'd like you to think that. But because he has always had a way of making her feel like the ground beneath her feet was slightly less stable than it was before he walked into the room. She thought it was irritation. She was wrong. Now she's nineteen, engaged to a man she didn't choose, banned from her hostel, and about to spend every day in dangerous proximity to the one person her heart apparently didn't get the memo about. *She didn't know it was him.* *He always knew it was her.* --- The Only Choice - Book Two of The Choices Series 🌚

Zafirah Abdullahi has never had trouble finding her place in a room. Charismatic, bold, and impossibly herself, she moves through life the way she moves through a crowd - effortlessly, and always at the center of it. At Air Force Comprehensive School, she is known by everyone and loved by most, and that has always been enough. Final year was supposed to be simple. Study, survive exams, attend prom, go home. It is not simple. There is Ajmal - calm, patient, and quietly certain about her in a way that is both flattering and terrifying. There is Jawad - her cousin, her person, her most complicated relationship, whose feelings neither of them have found the courage to examine too closely. And then there is someone else entirely. Someone who doesn't fit neatly into any category she has, who looks at her without softening what he sees, and whose indifference bothers her far more than it should. Three people. Three different kinds of attention she wasn't looking for. And Zafirah, who has always known exactly who she is, slowly discovering that knowing yourself and understanding yourself are not the same thing at all. Some choices are easy. The first one never is.
