Jonathan and Other Weird Stories
26 Bagian Lengkap DewasaA 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.
