IRONY

A cool morning is always a great time for a jog. Jogging down the street, I saw a reflection of myself, dumbfounded, but there was not any mirror!
The face and stature was same as mine but the hairdo and stature were different. I found it difficult to believe but alas! I just found my long lost twin sister.
A great reunion it was, my parents thought she was dead, the last one week had been filled with so much fun with her.
It remained a mystery how she escaped from the notorious kidnappers, her foster parents are simply wonderful.

Bush Baby
He got into the woods with his dog at his heels and saw a monkey sitting quietly in a tree trunk. He shot it. BANG!!! The dog ran to finish it off but the now mad monkey grabbed its neck, bit its throat and ripped out the esophagus. The dog collapsed. The hunter moved closer and saw that the monkey was pregnant and reproducing when he shot at it. TABOO!!! The baby was almost out but a pellet had penetrated its forehead. He shot the monkey dead.
At home, his wife delivered a stillbirth with a hole in the head.

BITTER-SWEET REVENGE.

What was the worst form of betrayal you've ever experienced?

For me, it was coming back home from work and finding my husband, Lekan, in bed with my bestfriend, Adesuwa.

Unbelieveable!

The remorseless look on their faces was heart-rending, I became confused.

I only got back to my sensse when Adesuwa shrieked and I realized I had just stabbed her--on her chest.

I've been in this rabbit-hole called prison for the past 7 years, although I miss my bestfriend and freedom but I prefer it to a loveless marriage.

Her Baby's Picture

When Ogochuckwu saw her baby's picture, the intial pain and the gory details flooded her memory.
Her husband, Thompson, stood outside the door, but she kept folding her clothes into her travelling box.
' I don't know what to say?' Thompson grumbled.
She inhaled loudly, opened and shut her mouth in despair, dropped the picture of her dead baby, and zipped the bag.
He stepped into the room .' We were fighting and...'
' Getting angry again? Come, kill me too?'
She carried the travelling bag which reminded her of her baby's coffin, and left his house and his life.

Thank you Audreytimms. Picking me enriched my love for you..

TIMELESS

Time stopped, our gazes locked, the air became still and I felt pulled into the dark, calm pool of his eye as cupid's arrow pierced me 2years ago.

Our favorite game was silly- who could say the words "I love you best" first upon seeing each other, if I won, He would reply "I'll get you." Life had been great until now.


Now the rain flooded my tears and pain sliced through my heart like a hot knife through cheese as I read the words engraved on the words engraved on the pocket watch He gave me minutes before he succumed to cancer.

It read "I LOVE YOU BEST"

ALABURUKU

John tried to move his body but failed his feet and body were bound to a stick or was it a tree he couldn't tell because of the blindfolds covering his eyes. Then he heard a command 'load' and he wondered what was going on. What followed, left no inkling of doubt, it was precise, it hit him in his very bowels, 'aim'. He knew what came next."God...They're going to shoot me". Hot yellowish liquid wet his shorts and seeped through his thighs. 'Fire'.His mind went blank, then, he woke up sweating profusely in a pool of his own urine.

CROSSROADS


Fear crippled Debbie as she drove frantically. Tonight’s battering had destroyed all hopes of his repentance. Yet, her heart raced.

Who escaped The SCOR unscathed?

“Return before midnight or Alice would never breathe another dawn.”
She stepped on the acceleration as her phone beeped. The SCOR was close.

"Hang on baby, mummy won’t let him."
Alice stirred behind her in seeming agreement.

It happened so fast. Debbie felt the jolt even before the impact.
"Heaven protect my baby!"

***
Morning headlines read:
"Baby survives as head-on collision kills mother.”
The driver disappeared leaving his truck. His plate number was: “SCOR-01”.

THE STAND

I moved around the room with tears streaming down my face, packing what I would take with me. I was leaving my husband of 9 years for good.

My first daughter had turned 8 some months ago; my husband’s family came and insisted a circumcision must be done for her to live long. Female circumcision?

I refused, I cried, my husband said nothing, with no one on my side, they won, the circumcision was done.

My daughter’s screams that night still haunt me. Now, they were back for my 7 years old twin girls……. they would not meet us. Tufiakwa!

Your work has been detected to be plagiarized from http://www.rd.com/true-stories/inspiring/100-word-story-winners/ . After much deliberations, the judges have decided that you should be evicted from the competition. This means Debbietiyan has automatically moved to the next stage...


Meanwhile, Gsteve001, Mclove, Kusibe, Oluwabukkyolo, are yet to compete.

Hmmn, as a relatively new and inexperienced young guy in literature am not familiar with what really constitutes plagarism, although i read the story at the posted link i did not copy and paste it but used the central idea but yes i think if any rule has been broken by me, punishment should be meted out to me and for any wrong i want to say am really sorry and will make amends if given another chance. cc: Divepen1

Just As I Am


'I think I've to let go at this point' Tolani thought in her heart. Festus has earlier asked Tolani that she should advise him on how to express love to the girl he loves.

Tolani advised him and told him to be bold. Festus dropped a piece of paper and left immediately.

Tolani opened the paper and read it loudly: 'I'm not bold enough to tell you, I LOVE YOU' Tolani broke down in tears and said, 'Just as I'm, despite that I've once given birth, he didn't condemn me!' He is the one who has shown me love again.

Stranded

The light flickered off and on, then went out again with a compensating buzz. Lola stared in horror at the street lamp, hoping by chance, it would come on again. No such luck. She shuddered and clutched the edges of her short gown as the cold wind teased eerily.

Up ahead, footsteps approached rapidly and she gasped. A man’s outline materialised out of the dark, with a knife her eyes only caught off the moon’s feeble reflection. All she had to defend herself was an invitation card and a dead mobile phone to call her friend if she became stranded.

Dede trembled. His hands took to his chest, drumming—like raindrops on a roof. His teeth dithered indecently and his stomach tightened in knots. Effortlessly, he felt his head swell and a serpentine build of friction enveloped his senses, as though white on rice. The torch he carried went off and he immediately dreaded the menacing impression that followed. So, he ran, his breaths falling in the haunting air—like sledgehammers.

Minutes later, he was back, with two other men. One carried a torch; the other: an English. The other man cautiously moved closer to what Dede had claimed to see.

Bullet for Disobedience

Retired Lt. Morgan was a faithful son of devil. When he once saw me with his daughter, he fumed like one who swallowed foam and warned me never to come near Audrey.

Audrey: she was as sweet as candies and beautiful like roses.

I contravened Morgan and met Audrey again. ‘Kiss me’ she said softly –
the type of command I liked – not the stay away warnings I heard from
her father. Ours lips united, and our tongue blended.

Suddenly, I heard the coc king of gun. We disengaged frightened. Boom, disaster thundered and I fell. Blood. My arm!

Well? what can I say at this point? just want to say a big thank you esp. to my mentor audreytimms:sorry for disappointing you and like you said "back with a bang".

To my co-participant "I wish you best of luck."Rooting for my team; Team elixir all the way, like the saying we part 2 meet and meet 2 part,so fare thee well(lol) but I leave u wit this "BELIEVE YOU CAN BELIEVE YOU CANT, YOU BE RIGHT"

REGRET





He had killed his wife! He looped the rope around his neck and kicked the stool. As he died, he saw her roll over. She didn’t die afterall!

Mysterious Escape

Sir, I know nothing about how he broke from cell!

If a notorious criminal like Evans can escape under your watch, you deserve to be fired!

Last night, a thin mist cloaked my sight. My sister turned a co-joined twin: two heads and four legs.

I woke up today reeking of alcohol.

Here She Goes Again






Joshua glanced at the hot, busty lady as she left. He missed his chance with her again. Staring at the Vaseline bottle, he locked the door.

NEW LIFE


Her heart-rendering screams made my heart sink, our child was to be born, I turned and walked out of the room when I couldn't bear it again.

Wow, Frankenstein! I'm freaking nervous!

Dear mum,

“This is the girl I have chosen to spend my life with. She will make you a grandma one day. What do you think, mum? She’s smart, beautiful and is an amazing woman, just like you.”

These are words I will never tell my mother. And the reason is because she died yesterday.
