'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger', this was the case of Julie. She thought her first heartbreak would end her, but instead, it sent her packing to a distant school-Pwani University, where she starts again, getting to experience life in a different perspective. Between new faces, silent lectures and long lonely walks with earphones in, Julie begins to unlearn love, relearn herself, and piece together what was never really broken-just bruised. Maybe healing doesn't look loud. Maybe healing looks like Julie.

Tales of the Earth is a collection of short stories where simple moments carry deeper truths. Each story holds a lesson about life, timing, patience, love, and the quiet ways we grow. Some feel familiar. Some feel like they have always existed. These are not just stories... they are reflections of the world we live in, told in a way that is easy to understand, but not easy to forget.

A world built on clouds, meant to end, a dream with the promise of being a nightmare, a dance with the devil, several visits to hell, a love so deep it grew the galaxy inside me, a hurt so intense it completely broke me. chaos is what this was. chaos is what I'll share.

Don't judge a book by its cover... but first impressions? Those are harder to forget. Do they really last a lifetime? Sometimes, one meeting is enough to change everything. Between love and betrayal, friendship and unexpected emotions, two worlds collide in ways neither of them saw coming. Because some first impressions don't just fade... they stay with you forever

When I saw her at the park in the dark freezing night, I knew I would fall for her... With all her brokenness, heartache,pain, distress... she brightens my heart like the moon, so majestic, so beautiful like the twinkle stars between the moonlight. And suddenly what makes her weep is my agony, and what makes her smile is my target. My heart slipped out of my hands when I looked at her. Her eyes so captivating, full of heartbreak and loneliness, of vacant stares and unkept promises. There was no sense of love, no warmth, no happiness. It's hard not to fall in love with those eyes, dark brown pupils that drown me into deep oceans. Love has cast its spells... And it's hard to reverse the spells... It's love, it could be nothing else... *** Sabreena Sa'aad is an outrageous rebellious and shockingly beautiful 18 year old Nigerian.

In the Pauses Between Us Amani has learned how to survive by staying quiet. By sitting near windows. By listening more than speaking. By becoming invisible in rooms full of noise. When Kairo arrives-calm, observant, and carrying a past he never explains-he doesn't try to fix her silence. He doesn't rush her words. He simply sits beside her, in the pauses she thought no one noticed. Between shared glances, unfinished sentences, and moments that don't need explaining, something begins to grow. But silence can protect you... and it can also keep you trapped. In the Pauses Between Us is a slow-burn coming-of-age story about being seen, finding your voice, and discovering that sometimes the deepest connections are formed in the quietest moments.

There is nothing you can do about it" Sarki Abusadiq said gritting his teeth. It's not like he asked Yarima to slit his wrist. He was making a big deal out of nothing and it was irritating. "Of all the conditions you could attach to me, you chose her? When you know I had someone all this while. She's not even Royal" he stated clenching his fists. He couldn't beat up his father of course. It just gave him an inner strength. "You know how this goes. My father gave me a condition, so did his father, and the father after that one. That's how it works. It's either this, or Azeem takes the throne." Sarki Abusadiq said adjusting his turban. The dresser made the turban too sketchy today. He ought to get rid of it before he gets a headache. "I've done everything you've ever asked of me. I've never disrespected you. I've never done anything stupid or wrong like Azeem. Why are you doing this to me father?" he asked trying to see if a little sadness could weaken his father's choice of condition. "Young man! Man up. You're a King! Sacrifices are meant to be made. Go out. I need to rest before the council comes. Choose wisely " Sarki Abusadiq said shooing his eldest son. Yarima left the throne room with slumped shoulders. This was something he never thought would happen. How could his father do this. Well he will make a choice! A choice that would surely work in his favor!
