Love hiccups by KimberlyWest
https://www.nairaland.com/3831055/lovehiccups
A story about three friends; Nate, Ken and K.C, three rich, cute and chronic playboys.
Despite his father and his stepmother's hatred towards him, Ken eventually fell in love and marries a pretty lady called Victoria, whom he completely adores but as the saying goes ''once a player, always a player''
Will he be able to stay faithful to his wife?
What made his own father hate him?
Nate and K.C didn't believe in the word 'love' nor 'marriage' due to the ugly situations that they had both been in, in the past,
Just to avoid nosy family members and friends,who wouldn't let them be with the issue of love and marriage, Nate had to lie about being gay and K.C had to lie about having Chlamydia a Sexually Transmitted Disease, which he claimed, rendered him impotent.
How far will these two go?
Will they ever fall in love?
What have they gone through that made them believe that love doesn't exist?
And if and when they eventually fall in love would they be able to cope or withstand all the troubles, Hiccups and problems that comes with being in love?

Cold by Chipappii
https://www.nairaland.com/3562113/cold
The Donati Family had walked into a nightmare. One that had left the once full family nothing but a ghost of what it was. It had all started with the parents and the lust for revenge stole a lot from them. Little August was at the forefront of it all.
This is a classical story on the making of a boy who cared about nothing but the duty he owed to his family. August Donati had lost all he had but not the desire to see those responsible for his losses pay their crime. In the end, all of it just froze his tender heart, rendering him cold.

It sat at the edge of its grave like some of the others. It was raining in town but under the canopy of the trees in the yard, it was
just a sizzle.

Everywhere was silent and it was brooding like the others, no hurried movements, there was nothing else to do than spend and waste time, it was going to spend an eternity doing that like the others but it
wouldnt be like the case of the man who embezzled Government money and
got jailed for a score of years but it died in its first few years behind bars. When it died suddenly, the Government took its corpse and deposited it at the old yard. They put a big chain and padlock on its grave and it will only be unlocked when the scores of years it earned has been exhausted. Its soul had been damned to remain in Hades until
that lock is unlocked. Hell! it can not even come out to catch its breath like the others.
It shook its head, it would not allow anybody convict it even in death. Death is freedom, why so many of its kind commits suicide. Or Harakiri? Whatchamacallit.
When it was alive, it doesnt even wear watches because it makes it feel restrained like manacles. Even the minute sound from the tiniest timepiece irritated it like it was a reminder for the time it was doing living. It wondered what it was doing dead.
It was a dream. Yes indeed.

ritababe:
so because they write in sexuality section they don't deserve to be mentioned?

Well, if they want to enjoy the same privilege as those in Literature section, they should ask the mods to move the thread down here. If it has too much sexual content they can put 18+.

Holy infatuation

It’s a glorious Sunday service in my church, Brother Edward is leading the praise and worship and I am dancing like a fool. People are staring at me thinking, “It must be the holy spirit”. It’s a spirit all right but the spirit is not holy. The Spirit is my infatuation with the beautiful voiced brother Edward. Lordy lord, this brother was one fine son of God! His swag, dressing, stature, walk, his voice plus he was born again too.

I had planned everything in advance. Our wedding was going to be glorious, he would sing me John Legend’s ‘all of you’ at the reception. Our marriage would be enviable; he would open doors for me, bring me breakfast in bed and sing me to sleep. And our children, the girls would be pretty like me and the boys strong and sturdy like their pappy! I couldn’t wait.

We leave the church gates after service and I follow quietly behind Brother Edward, intent on discussing our future. He isn’t paying attention because he is answering a phone call,
“…………abeg jor, that woman no get shishi, I do her two times, na only 60k I see collect for her hand…… forget her mata jare, I don see one correct mama for my church last week, I dey go her place now….”
Waris this one saying? I wondered, I walked past him and turned to see the face well, chai, it was my born again Brother Edward, a gigolo! Aiye ti pari!

This week, we are recommending 10 top Crime stories to nairaland.
Next week would be another Genre..
So, please just drop your 1. Title of best Nairaland Stories 2. Link 3. Summary

For the place he hits the lady. I think he would have seen her, even if it was within a few seconds. Another way that place can transcend is to say he was trying to reach for his phone to call his mother, but the phone fell. Since no one seemed to be on the way, he thought it was a risk worth taking. So, he bent to pick the phone and that was when he slammed into something.... blah blah blah..


Meanwhile, you can't think almost to yourself.

However, you have a fine story line. The action, reaction, and counter reaction are averagely perfect. You can do more... Improve the character by giving him something else to love.

You can drop a foreshadow by making us see some of his quirks. You can show us that he doesn't see things whenever he was in deep thought. A way to do this is to show him running into coworkers due to excitement or fear.
And if you go for the phone, show us how he kept staring at his phone within the office. So that it won't look like coincidence. Prepare the readers and let them say 'God catch him' even though he is the protagonist...



Meanwhile, if you use grammarly, it would bring more grammatical error to your notice. Keep writing bro...

You need to quote your dialogues.. There are some ambiguous sentences there..
Punctuation marks in the work need revisiting..

hinky:
Is dis story worth fp? @divepen1

Yes. Just call enough people here and remove all the weeds

Baba was cursed—it had always manifested, as though the orange on the
sun. He had never reaped a harvest after he sowed. And he had got used to it. But grandmother had gone ahead to marry him. She said it was love—the most beautiful one; an ilk that surpassed the tears Christ shed on his cross. She said Baba's lineage never succeeded but it failed to bother her. So, on a bad day—an awful make of misfortune, she and Baba had the nuptial knot tied and he had afterwards—when the shadows had faded with the air—proceeded to plant his seed in her.
Grandmother wasn't stupid. Her son, Kure, grew old and married my mother. Then, when—like his father: Baba—he had learnt to raise his hands on my mother and had dug up a million ruins out of the soil whenever he tried, grandmother said she became skeptical. But Ohiza—the woman who bore
me—was brave and the times she thought grandmother was unsuspecting, she had gone in with Ladi - the clergyman. But grandmother wasn't stupid, I say, and a day when she caught Ladi with my mother, she fervently hoped my little, fair mother missed her cycle.
If mother missed her cycle then, I don't know but she told me she took some concoction after Kure had spurt his miserable seed in her and she
woke the following morning with a dead foetus. She claimed Grandmother had
given her the substance.

I was nothing in this terrible world without the anger in me. It was my blood, breath and life. If not, many would have ridden me and seen me as something they can dust off the shelve like an old, useless, worn newspaper.
I shouted back at my Father as I stormed out of his wretched house. He has no right over my life.
' Get back here', he shouted after me.
But I didn't return to the house. It was a fruitless effort, trying to make it work with my imposing family. I have weighed all of their arguments and I couldn't just accept the fact that I'm getting married to the man they love. They want me to marry Tunde, the son of my Father's rich friend. There was no way I would ever agree to do that. This is the 21st century, for crying out loud.
I knew a day like this would come. I was expecting this ridiculous act. My father was never contented with anything and my mother would never disagree. The girl child, they say, should rest in the full oars of her father's authority, then later her husband's. But, I won't be one of such.
I called Richard's line, and he met me in front of his house. We were poor but comfortable. I followed him to his one room, and we sat down to drink garri with the fried fish I bought on my way. Tomorrow, we would find good jobs.

Does that mean you're not this person

Laila waited in the mud building, a little restless. Hassan was late, she needed to be at Sokoto park soon and this was her final test before meeting the Sheik,why was he late? She heard footsteps approaching and quickly moved away from the light.

'Laila!' A male voice called out to her.
'Hassan! ' She stepped out, there was another man. 'What took you
so long? ' She queried
"I'm sorry, there was a change of plan"
'Laila Nazilah Amin' The other man called her'I am Sheik Omar'
"Your lordship!" Laila trembled and went on her knees.

'Like Hassan said, there's been change of plans, you are to accomplish your mission in the bus'
" But my lord the bus is much smaller than the Lagos bridge"
' I know Amin ,but there are three senior NSS agents in that bus.

We will have this country in our grip much faster with their deaths '
"I will not fail my lord" She collected the bag from Hassan "See you in Paradise Hassan"
'Allah be with you Laila' Then she left.
"I'd say a job well-done to us Agent Hassan"

Steve grinned and removed his fake beard. " The last of the Malibu cell,you're sure all
the terrorists will be in that bus?"

'Every single one of them' Hassan affirmed and spat on the ground,
'See you in Paradise my foot! Islam teaches peace, Laila and her people will rot in hell Insha Allah! '
