Sicklecell Stories

Atlantic International School was meant to prepare teenagers for the future. Instead, it teaches them how to survive chaos. Nurhan doesn't just fall in love, she falls too many times, confusing affection for safety. Sadiq is charming, reckless, and hiding a dangerous double life. Adelabu's secret relationship promises love but delivers consequences she never imagined. Omolara brings the violence of her home into school corridors no teacher can protect her from. Zayd and Zayyan were brothers by choice, until betrayal turned them into enemies. And twins Zoe and Zendaya learn that insecurity can destroy even the strongest bond. Behind pressed uniforms, morning assemblies, and whispered gossip are secret pregnancies, drugs, broken homes, tangled friendships, and emotions no one knows how to handle. This isn't a sweet high-school love story. It's about Nigerian teenagers growing up too fast in a system that looks away. Because at Atlantic International School, madness isn't the problem...it's the curriculum. Lessons will be learned🥺 Hearts will be broken 💔 Secrets will never stay buried 😐 Welcome to Lessons In Lunacy. Class is in session.

Eighteen-year-old Eli used to believe in God, in love, in happiness-until his parents' bitter divorce shattered his world. Forced to leave behind the city he once called home, he's drowning in anger, resentment, and the belief that hope is nothing more than a lie. Then he meets Jessica.

When Jessica's health takes a devastating turn, Eli must face the hardest lesson of all: sometimes, love isn't about holding on-it's about knowing when to let go.

"I stand on through sacrifices of a million women before me thinking what i can do to make this mountain taller so the women after me can see farther" - Legacy - rupi kaur.

This is the story of Hannah and Kei-of second chances, unspoken pain, and the kind of love that lingers even after goodbye. Hannah has sickle cell disease, a condition that shaped much of her childhood and led her to make painful decisions-including walking away from Kei, the boy who once promised he'd never leave her side. "It's not that I stopped loving you," she had whispered then, "it's that I loved you enough to let you go." Years later, fate brings them together again at university. Hannah, quiet and determined, becomes the manager of the men's volleyball team for her scholarship. She never expected to see Kei again-let alone as the team captain. Kei, older now but still carrying the weight of her absence, is stunned. "You disappeared," he says, not accusing, just aching. "And I waited anyway." As practices stretch into late evenings and old routines resurface, so do buried feelings. Kei starts noticing how Hannah hides her pain behind clipped answers and an ever-present water bottle. He remembers the hospital visits, the quiet sobs, the strength it took for her to pretend she was fine. "I never stopped caring, Hannah" Kei admits one night after practice. "Not even when you vanished." But as their connection deepens, so do the stakes. Hannah's condition is unpredictable, and the question lingers: Can she afford to let Kei in again? And will love be enough to face what lies ahead? Will they find their way back to each other? Will Hannah find healing-not just for her body, but for the parts of her heart that never stopped aching?

This is a written version of a webcomic I'm planning to make that has a very vague plot at the moment

Just one lie ruined us, i ruined what we had but shouldn't have had, I felt sorry "you always pretend to be happy and strong while you're just a sick sad puppy" he said and with that he stump out of the room and I knew at that moment that I've lost him forever This book is under construction (editor's word)

What happens when surviving the illness isn't the hardest part? At forty-two, Sarah Ellison is preparing for a treatment that could finally bring remission after six years of living inside the limits of a body she can no longer trust. But the closer she gets to October, the more she realizes illness has changed far more than her health. Her marriage has quietly hardened into resentment. Her children have learned to build lives around her absence. Friends who once stepped in to help now hold pieces of the family she no longer knows how to reclaim. And the quiet room she created to protect herself has slowly become the place where she disappeared. Then Sarah finds a bright yellow book she once kept as a symbol of life, growth, and unapologetic happiness. It forces her to ask the question she has avoided for years: Where did my glow go? The Edge Of The Map is an intimate story about chronic illness, motherhood, marriage, grief, dependence, and the painful difference between being cared for and being included. It is about learning that needing help does not make you a burden. That love is not the same as access. That gratitude does not require surrendering your voice. And that sometimes healing begins when you stop waiting for everyone else to understand what happened to you. Standing at the edge of a life she no longer recognizes, Sarah must decide whether to keep asking for her old place back... or begin building a future that belongs to her.
