As I drifted into my own land of dreams, I was slightly pulled back by a sound coming from the door. I didn't pay close attention and was unsure so I allowed myself let loose and get lost in the comforting state. A rough tug on my right breast brought me back to earth. I opened my eyes only to see step dad hovering over me. I screamed partly, because next thing I know he stuffs a handkerchief in my mouth and pins both my arms above my head. My voice was muffled by the thick piece of cloth in my mouth and.... To all my Nigerian friends who wished they could know what happened in the future of The Last Day of forcados High school .well there you have it. But this is from my POV ...enjoy. After several years of being abroad fate brings Efua back to Nigeria. Her past confronts her in a traumatic way. Will overcome these challenges or let them tear her down?

"How can I say no to that?" *** After five years away from the country and silently pining for his best friend, Ada, Chike returns to Nigeria.

Short Stories ▪︎ ⌈ Featuring Jay Park ⌋ by TheJaylineEffect

Let's immerse ourselves in these short tales where Jay steps in as the male lead. He's clearly an inspiring presence... and this book is definitely getting a sequel. This is a compilation of short stories. The concept? Picking a photo of Jay randomly from my database, and letting that single image spark my imagination until I can't help but write something about it. The selected photo will be displayed at the start of each story [in the Outline section] followed by a brief description. ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ Since this compilation covers many topics, the writing style may vary slightly from one story to another. With this in mind, there are perhaps a few too many tags, and not all of them apply to every story. So the predominant style of each story will be indicated by a checked box in the description. ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ All events are purely fictional. Respect the writer's work, as they will never take pride in being plagiarized.
