And love was a luxury she could not afford to believe in. Until she met him. He was not a knight from a fairytale, and he did not have the wealth to give her the life she dreamed of. He was simply a man who chose to stay. And somehow, having someone beside her made the weight of poverty a little easier to carry. They had no money, no certainty, and no promise that tomorrow would be kinder. But they had each other. So they built a life with what little they had through empty pockets, sleepless nights, failed plans, and dreams that seemed too big for the lives they were living. They struggled together, fell together, and always found a reason to stand again. They believed that as long as they had each other, they could survive anything. For better. For worse.

Now, the two people who once promised to face every hardship together must face the one thing they never imagined surviving each other.

In a country where the poor are expected to endure while the powerful continue to prosper, Vienna grew up believing that survival always came with sacrifice. She compromised his dreams for responsibility. Her youth for resistance. Her peace for a voice that refused to be silenced. Every step forward was met with discrimination, violence, and the constant threat of being branded an enemy-not because she had committed a crime, but because she dared to question those who did. Vienna learned that fighting wasn't a choice- it was the only way people like him could exist with dignity. But the streets were never the only battlefield. Even love demanded a fight. Because in a society built on power, privilege, and inequality, some people are born with the freedom to love, while others have to earn the right to be loved at all. "Because love is never free- and loving you was a privilege the world had already decided I would never deserve. Hindi sapat na mahal kita. Dahil sa mundong lahat ay politikal, ang mahal mahalin ka."

**Ashes Of POVERTY* _By:Brix-Monje.Lyn_ We were not born with empty stomachs. We were not born in houses with holes. We were not born owing 15,000 shillings. Poverty found us. And it stayed. This is the story of B. 17 years old. A daughter. A sister. A house girl. A debt. From the shamba with two graves, to the room under the stairs in Nairobi, to a hospital floor with 40 shillings in her pocket - this is what it feels like to live when dust is in your lungs. There is no rescue here. There is no fairy tale. There is only truth: Poverty is not lack of money. Poverty is a disease. It has a title. It demands respect. And it kills quietly, one mucker at a time. _Ashes Of Poverty_ is not a story about being poor. It is a testimony from inside it. Raw. Unforgiving. Necessary. *Read this if you want to understand why some people don't get up.* --- It is written in ash, in debt, and in memory of those who died waiting for "next month." *_"If my words make you uncomfortable, good. That means the dust reached you too."__ By:Brix-Monje.Lyn_ ---

**Uncle Dud** *A Story by Brix-Monje.Lyn* *Uncle Dud* is the story of **Amina Hassan** - a girl who was told she was "released." Released from Maighty Girls for failing 3 times. Released by a father who couldn't say "I'm proud." Released by a system that thought D- was all she'd ever be. But Amina refused to be released from herself. With Ksh 500 from a man who wasn't her blood, **Baba Juma**, With a teacher who saw more than grades, **Mrs. Wanjiku**, With a mother who saved Ksh 4,400 coin by coin, And with 4am torchlight and stubborn hope Amina fights her way from D- to **B Plain**. It's not a story about being the smartest. It's about waking up at 3am when no one believes in you. About choosing peace over permission. About turning shame into blueprints. About building a house when everyone said you'd never even finish school. From "Night Runner" to "Candidate 2028/47/1845" From a dorm with 60 girls to a room called **"Dreams"** From "you're not my daughter" to "Architect" *Uncle Dud* is 20 chapters of pain, prayer, past papers, and becoming. It's about the people who choose you when your own don't. And about the girl who chose to keep going. **Theme**: You don't need to be born with money. You just need one B. One person. One room to start building in. **Ending**: She builds the house. And in it, she makes a room with yellow walls and a drawing board. She names it **"Dreams"** - so no girl who comes after her will ever feel "released" again.

She jumps between realms and sleep is her portal. She's Alexia Grams or Corsel Saryon depending on which realm you're in. *** Poor and financially struggling Alexia Grams has an uncanny way of doing things: a solid habit of extreme productivity, a ridiculously strict schedule that she absolutely refuses to budge from, and more strangely-a full twelve-hour sleep every night, despite the unpredictability that comes with her father's schizophrenia. And all that for a reason, for she has to balance two lives within the same 24-hour bracket. When she sleeps, she wakes up as Corsel Saryon, and has been doing so for the last 13 years. Corsel's life is everything Lexi wishes for. As the only heir to a provincial monarch, her lifestyle is beyond decadent, her status is practically on par with royalty, and most of all, her father is a fully healthy man who dotes on his only daughter. But just as things begin looking up for Lexi when she lands a better job, Corsel's "perfect" life begins to crack to reveal the ugly truths hiding behind. A father that is not as trustworthy as he seems. A province that is in the middle of a religious insurgency that threatens her very authority. And worse of all-the absence of a godly magic that is grounds for her heirhood. Corsel's life is practically in flames, and as it turns out, despite her new job, Lexi's problems aren't over yet, as a friendship blooms with one of her bosses and her father's condition seems to worsen without end...

[POETRY] I think a lot, as the rest of the world does. Sometimes my thoughts do make sense, but most of the time they are too much for me to make any sense. When I can, I write what's in my mind and what plaques my imagination. I write what I see, I write what I experience.I write about love and all the other things that make me sick ,the one's that make me happy as well. So this is it, call it prose if you may but I call it poetry, because I'm a poet. These are my words, these are my thoughts. This is my heart, The book that nobody reads.
