EDITED VERSION Previous title "Our Reality" Our Language is Music He speaks in songs. I listen with my scars. Andre was all silence and bruises-until we started talking through music. But the deeper I fell, the darker it got. ◇◇ This was my entry for a Cupid Short Story Prompts Challenge by Earnesty Community (@earnestycommunity) and Majestic Inc Community (@majesticawards). I just wanted to polish the story a bit and edit it. Due date: 15th February, 2019

Book 2: ~•~ In the busy streets of Accra, a blind woman is held by the arm by a seeing companion who thrusts a cup in the direction of passing pedestrians, move from vehicle to vehicle, pleading for mercy and asking for in the hope of getting a few coins - no matter how little. Xorlali is a twenty-two-year-old young adult who lost her sight during an outbreak of measles when she was only two years old. Since then, all she has encountered in life is darkness - literally and figuratively. Surviving in a community that has little reverence for her condition has been one of the many challenges she has to face aside trying to survive by begging when people didn't have anything to give. Her world takes a quick three-sixty turn when she gets a visit from an unexpected visitor telling her the fate of the world is in her hands. How is that even possible when she cannot she? But Xorlali is soon to realize that not seeing is one of the least things she has to worry about.

*COMPLETED* Storytelling through a bunch of poetries. These poems were scribbled while I was on my way to work or even at the station, waiting. They piled up for about a year. When I started compiling, they turned out to be a story. Let's see where this takes us. Sometimes they tell the story of a dead stranger, sometimes portray a dangerous landscape from scratch or even a love story that almost didn't happen, seasons that brought the mood or people who made the day.

McSteve Anderson awakes in a strange apartment next to a dead body that he doesn't recognize. When the police arrive, he is blamed for the murder that he has no memory of committing- despite every piece of evidence appearing to suggest that he did. Who is the victim? Why can't McSteve remember anything? Did he really kill the victim? And if not who did? This is my entry for The Mystery Party Case File #1 Party name: Agatha Christie Cover by: @emmahavana

In 1997 a young girl went into the local school and was never seen again. It was assumed that she had gone missing between her school and home. But, even after a six-month search, no body was found, crucial evidence was missing, and any leads in the case led to the same thing - a dead end. Now many years have passed and the case has been all but forgotten in the eyes of the town's few remaining residents. It was ever apparent by the many decrepit and abandoned buildings, however, that the town had suffered greatly by the disappearance. As a teenage girl passes the old abandoned schoolhouse she is drawn towards a strange noise coming from the enclosed schoolyard, only to find a cat cowering over the bloody corpse of a young woman. Who is this woman? Why was she murdered? And what is on the curious note tucked into the cat's collar? She isn't sure, but the teen is determined to find out. ••• My entry for this year's Mystery Party, hosted by EarnestyCommunity. I hope you enjoy, and I wish all the other participants well.
