“I broke up with Donnie. He found out about Wasiu. Wasiu
actually came to blackmail me and I told Donnie what transpired.
He’s too proud to share a woman with a riffraff as he called
Wasiu. And I was already tired of the relationship.”

.... And thats how I am out of the story

Centino:
WEED

---------------------------------------------------------------

Early the following morning I stirred awake when I heared sister Esther say “Repent” into her megaphone and another familiar shrill voice intoned “You dey lie!”

I flew out of bed and dashed through the corridor to the front of the compound and found Irikefe and Wasiu together in one corner, aghast at the drama that was unfolding. Sister Esther spoke again into the megaphone “You will go to hell if you do not change your ways” and Mama Akunna, eyes glistening like a cats, standing by the road but closer to the compound shouted back “Na you go first reach dia!”

“Every soul that sinneth shall die”

“Esther who sin pass you for this Katakata road?”

“For the wages of sin is death my brother my sister.”

“You for don die since Esther if na so.”

“Brethren do not be deceived by this new trick of the devil to deprive you from hearing the word.”

“My people make una hia me now say de pesin wey dey disturb una for this place na proper devil pikin.”

“Do not be ignorant of the devices of the devil, second Corinthians chapter two verse eleven.”

“My people this Esther wey dey talk so dey sleep for Kingsley house every night.”

I rushed to where Irikefe and Wasiu stood and said “guys, what have we done?”

“De woman don craze o!” Wasiu said.

What an exchange...

Welcome to Katakata Street rickleye. We love new comers

I get your suggestion man, just that it's not a style I dig that much. I even toy with eliminating the "he said" "she said" dialogue tags I use altogether (you'll see that as you approach page 100 ) because it slows down the narrative and can also be boring. I want my reader to participate at a deeper level. Know the characters, understand how their minds work, know who is saying what without the speakers being identified and as I have been doing this lately I've been waiting for someone to point it out but it hasn't happened as my readers can easily identify Mr Cosmas, or Irikefe or Mr Kingsley by just the words spoken. Like this the story moves along nicely and no one misses a thing and more fluff is eliminated.

I like Paterson but there are others like Laura Drake who reason like me and want to create a story that is bigger than the characters and get readers more involved which translates into greater appreciation

See you at page 104 before the next update
