A synopsis of a story that was submitted and shared in Facebook.

A young girl once vowed that she would never marry a poor man. Changing men was akin to throwing out old shoes and buying a new pair.
This continued until she got the right man. The flirtation later blossomed into a permanent relationship.
Luckily to her, the young man became more popular than before that people encouraged him to test his political prowess.
The clarion call was heeded to as the man tried it and won. The lady who inveigled the young man into marrying her was very happy to be called "first lady".
Soon the Governor made an oversea incursion: in order to bring his elder brother, who was involved in illegal migration, home.
Just when the Governor was about to come back, their plane "missed".
A de facto government that saw his ex officio replacement take over government emerged.
The wife was not happy as she was stripped off her position. She did not obey the law of financial dictum and soon she was at the precipice of bankruptcy.
Her lifestyle was such that she abhorred dressing like others. She was the originator of most dresses and never put on what has been hackneyed.
This, coupled with her wacky hairstyle and excessive makeover that had in many times earned her indecent proposal, were the remote cause of her downfall.
In a strange paradox, the beauty she engaged in made her look ugly before causing her to look beautiful.
This made her to spend the entirety of many days at home. When she later saw her aesthetic remark to be fair, she started venturing out like others.
Soon the beauty faded again and she returned to her ugly self. This, coupled with her inability to pay her bills, caused her to sell her husband's house; which was yet to be willed to her.
She was the talk of the day for that singular act. She was publicly vilified by fans and foes.
Just as she used to recoil from any man whose pocket got dried, she soon surprised the populace by sharing an invitation card...inviting guests to her wedding with a Korea-based man.
No sooner that she shared the card than the new lover arrived. She released a bombastic that startled everyone on hearing that her latest lover has arrived.
In order to solicit compliment from the man, she made up herself and headed to the airport.
The Korea-based man who had not seen her before did not hide his surprise on seeing a face that did not match his 'taste.'
The young woman seeing, the perplex in the new lover's face, tried to hypnotise him but to no avail.
The Korea-based man who was angry with her look accused her of faking her beauty. The woman's look was different from the one that moved the Korea-based man in one of the social media (twitter). The man staged a walkout and the young woman, who had used all her feminine wiles to win the man, was helpless. When it dawned on her that what then happened was the finality of her marriage, she released a paroxysm of grief that sounded like that of a wounded animal. This did not fall on a sympathetic ear as the 'run away' lover did not turn back.
The young woman agonised it throughout her life as there was no more marital prospect for her.
The missing husband later returned from Europe and did not marry the gold digger again.


WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

Lol. Are you Hon. Patrick's brother? Easy on the big words biko. If you're looking for honest reviews (for this contest purpose) maybe you should show your work to friends and family first, then to an expert outside this forum. When you're not in a contest with people here, then nairaland is good place to ask for reviews. My 2 cents oh.

I'd just submitted a story too the synopsis is thus:

A young girl got infected with Spinal Menigitis (a super debilitating disease) just two months off her Mother's death.

So the story centers on how her father and her two older siblings coped with her, the advancement of the disease and the threat of an extra terrestrial influence .

One thing is to have spinal Meningitis and another is to fight off a demon keen on possessing your daughter.

Inspiration came from reading House of Leaves.

Cool

Commonwealth the congregation of slaves. How a black man/woman would be glad to be part of this is puzzling to me.

Why is it that the same Britain that is exiting the European Union; is strengthening the commonwealth?

It is time to abolish the British commonwealth of nations. Details www.africason.com/2016/08/its-time-to-abolish-commonwealth-of.html

I can see Ibkayee reading this with fixed and unwavering intensity, probably has already conjured a thousand stories in her head. Her mind already salivating over the £5000 to be won. Heehee.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

This is obviously not a synopsis.

That's my opinion

Spexo001:
A short story about biafra in Tamil language will do...

Tamils surrendered completely to Sri Lanka, had the Tamil leader killed in action.

Biafra did not totally surrender because Biafra leader did not surrender Biafra to you or to Nigeria; Ojukwu lived after the cessation of war to fight another day, like a brave warrior.


Biafrans have surged again to restore their country.
So cry me a river; oh you Parasite.

Tell your sponsors that no country was created to remain indivisible.

What type of story?

May be you are a victim of the scenario here.

Would a story with death as it's central theme be accepted?
