When Anita's mother dies, the heart monitor flattens into a straight line - a line her mother could never draw. That moment changes everything. At sixteen, Anita becomes the mother of three siblings in the soot-stained city of Port Harcourt. While other girls dream of school and love, she learns to trade both for survival - selling zobo by the roadside, burying her tears beneath duty. Life takes more than it gives: her father, her dreams, her body, her freedom. When a boy named Kenneth offers her a glimpse of tenderness, it feels almost like healing - until loss returns, sharper than before. From the farms of the village to the glittering loneliness of the city, Anita's life becomes a series of choices made in the dark, each one carving her into someone she never planned to be. In Straight Lines, I tell a story of womanhood, survival, and the cruel poetry of fate - where love comes too late, and the lines we draw to hold ourselves together don't always stay straight. #1 rightpersonwrongtime - Jan 6th, 2026 #1 teenagehood - Jan 6th, 2026 Started: 29th October, 2025 Ended: ... #JusticeforOchanya
