A collection of short stories 1) THABISA Tunde is gay, and Jabulani has his eyes on him. Angry eyes, filled with weird desires. All his life, Tunde has felt bound with shackles, longing to taste freedom. Real freedom---to walk down the streets, smiling, with a regular heartbeat, and without fearing for his life. Tunde finds himself in South Africa at the worst time possible---a time the Saffas frown heavily upon Nigerians. He should stay low and try to stay hidden, but first he has to get Jabulani off his back. Right after he figures out what exactly Jabulani wants from him. 2) YOUR WIFE: You think your wife is cheating on you. All the signs are there, and she doesn't even talk to you anymore. But you have to investigate. You need to know the truth---what she does when you're away; why she spends so long in the bathroom. You have to know the truth---even if it destroys you. 3) JONATHAN: Funmi has no friends. None at all. Not even the rats pay her any attention, and she feels all alone in the prison that is her mind. No one would talk to her---no one, save Jonathan. It's always been Jonathan, by her side for ten years past. Funmi does not mind. Jonathan is smart. He has a charming smile, with a silver dagger up his sleeves, and he is never going to let her be alone. Ever again. 4) JONATHAN (SEE QUELLING): After yet another sedation, Funmi slumps into a dark realm, trapped in a space darker than anything she has ever known-here, all her dirty secrets and deepest fears take precedence. Something hunts her too, from ages long before her birth, and Funmi knows she can't outrun it. It will catch her, and it will kill her. But Jonathan stands by her side, emerged from the darkness, so maybe there is hope. He offers her a helping hand, while clutching a dagger in his other hand, and all she has to do to survive is trust him. 5) THAT SUNDAY

The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED}

The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André Gide
