A raw and honest short-story about surviving death and decapitation on an overnight journey to Uganda.
Santai Kimakeke and I were standing somewhere in the dense Nakuru forests, it was pitch dark and there was no sign of life, anywhere. We hadn't quite made it to the Ugandan border and all we had with us were our backpacks and the obnoxious albino American that hitched himself to this lifeboat, us. Navigating East African infrastructure was an expected challenge, but tonight's test included survival. We knew this was Mungiki territory and our nerves were telling us "stay and be hunted or run and be chased".

Abditory
"Divinity will stain your fingers and mouth like a pomegranate. it will swallow you whole and spit you out, wine-dark and wanting. you will reach for it again and again, greedy human fingers clutching at everything you can reach. the divine will curl its way through your veins and take you over, and it will not leave you quietly. i feel divinity in my bones like aching; like fire" _______ I searched for a sense of being for years after the accident but I couldn't.

Swept up in the crew and all the problems that entailed I couldn't escape. But maybe they can be useful and help me find the assailant, or maybe they might just be my entire undoing.
Malion: Royal Blood
"A short yelp escaped her as she slipped off the edge with a fist full of flowers. I shrieked her name and dove off after her. I grabbed her, hugging her close to me. "What the hell are you doing, Decoda! We're going to die!" She shrieked. "Come on, come on!" I chanted, willing my wings into existance. Fire surrounded me and I opened my wings, appearing almost stationary in mid air only about 20 meters from the water. Before I could move them, a horrid shot of pain ripped through my wing as I fealt it tear. I shrieked and whirled around as my wings deteriorated and hit the water first. A stabbing pain in my back hit me first, then another one in the back of my head, causing my vision to black out."Complete

But when gusts of wind quake their pitiful selves, in form of new opportunities and of course men, Kiki and Nicole wonder why the painter suddenly decided upon subdued tints? ********** Nicole could distinctively make out the intonations of her heartbeat. It was no smooth asphalt, nor was it pleasing. It was entirely the opposite. She imagined a rugged chassis and deep-rooted crevices upon a rocky road. A dangerous road trip. She feared that her heart might give out. Her legs already were a noodly pair, holding onto her dress for support. It was clear that Nicole's mind was a soiled pool of water. It just wasn't functional anymore. Jane Austen would be disappointed, and so would her mother. Nicole was never the forward type of woman. She always thought of herself as demure as a sun's glow right before the full onset of night. Her wanton behavior today was a surprise on her side and she more than willingly blamed it on the cheery night and maybe on the way Wayne's minty breath hit her exposed clavicle like one inclement wind upon feeble branches of a tree.Complete
WHAT THEY SEE
"I got you something." He told her pulling away, while she watched him curiously until he pulled out a pandora bag. Her eyes widened at the necklace with an infinity symbol in crested with small little diamonds. "How you even afford this kari?" She questioned, unable to take her eyes off of it. "Shit, my savings." He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?" He stood behind her and she moved her hair out of the way as he put it around her neck and clipped it back together. Her hand immediately went to it. "I'm never gone take it off." She promised him turning to face him. "I love you kari." "I love you too, hone. Til Infinity." --- When an unfortunate sequence of events suddenly separates two bestfriends, Dakari and Honesty, with no plausible reason, it's shakes up the world of the two inseparable individuals.

Gracefully Broken
At 25, I finally decided to write this book, after two unsuccessful attempts, one in form two (2012) and the other attempt after form five (2015). Both attempts happened after a strange encounter in life. Both encounters were horrible but if there's anything I picked from it, I love me a challenge, it is then that I think, it is then that I come up with ideas I didn't think I had within me, it is then that my creative juices flow. You know what they say, third time is a charm. Let's go again, this book is raw, but let's worry about perfection another day. At this point in my life, this book is my legacy, and my purpose. It depicts real life experiences that showcase perseverance, resilience and overcoming. Most people write memoirs or biographies when they are older, successful or somewhere in life, but this is different, I am not even close to achieving what I know I am capable of achieving, I just want this story told, and that's exactly what I am doing. If one thing should be obvious, I am so proud to be Ugandan, it is even incredible to be East African, but oh boy, what a time to be an African. Our stories have to be told, with zero filters and shame. Who better tell these stories than ourselves. Enjoy
