Thanks boss!

The first time I saw Nina she came for a job interview at the firm I worked in. I was walking down the corridor on
the second floor, carrying some important documents for my boss, when I came across the new applicants. I couldn't help but LOOK at them seated as I passed. There were many who had the images of important personalities hovering above their heads; these were the fellas with 'connections'. A few had the blue flames of pure academics lighting up their auras. Some of them were spiritually drenched in alcohol, but most of them dressed in false hope. They had come for this interview but had already convinced themselves that they wouldn't get the job because they didn't have connections. In so doing they attracted failure to themselves. This was so because even those who couldn't see could feel their hopelessness and invariably were repelled by it.
I was silently reminiscing on all of this when I saw her. She was bent, head down in her books, trying to gather a few more points before she was called in. As I came closer she looked up- and what I saw took my breath away. She had the cutest big brown eyes I had ever seen, sited evenly atop a little, well chiseled nose and lovely brown lips. Her hair was made in braids and tied in a neat bundle at the side of her head. She looked, in every sense of the word, beautiful.
Then I looked and saw her wings. Magnificent. Purest white and fanned out perpetually behind her like a protective shield. And then there were heavy metal chains securely holding the wings in place. Her sins, you see. Most people had them. Hers were unique in that they were made of gold. And I honestly didn't know why.
She caught me staring at her and blinked in indignation .
"What? Any problem?" She asked.
"Na..nothing." I stuttered. " You've got the biggest pair of wings I have ever seen."
I swear, i didnt know when i said it. And it was after I said it that I saw her boobs. Yeah, they were huge too.
The whole corridor went quiet, or at least I think it did. She stared at me, mouth open, a look of shock on her face. This was quickly followed by anger, especially as she thought I was looking at her chest.
"That's not what you wanted to say abi? Pervert! Abeg leave me jo!"
I felt like the ground should open and swallow me up. I tried to apologise but then the public address system system sounded:

Nina T. Please come in for your interview.

She got up, gave me the meanest look I had ever seen, and stalked into the interview room. I was helpless. I tried to apologise one more time. She hissed and kept on walking, but I thought I saw something like the flicker of a smile just before she entered the office.
I turned and walked slowly to my boss'es office. I could see the snickers and amazed looks of those who had heard my embarrassing dialogue. As I was about entering one of the cleaners brushed by me and whispered "Correct man!" before hurrying on.
I spent the rest of the day hiding in my office. As I was closing up I saw that the candidates were still waiting for the interview results. Nina stood, easily recognizable in the small crowd. I walked towards her, thought better of it and moved towards the exit, thought again and went back to the corridor. She didn't notice me until I was up close to her. She glared at me once she recognised who I was.
"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. And I wasn't talking about your...er...those, either" ( I saw her eyes go dangerously thin-better not bring that topic up again). What i wanted to say was you have big eyes. I mean, not big in a bad way, but good, I mean not akpolo eyes but, but..."
I had made a mess of things again. I tried grinning in a helpless bid to save myself but that only seemed to make things worse. She hissed and looked away. I sighed and stood very still, not knowing whether to save what little dignity I had left and melt away or stand my ground. I ended up standing there, waiting to see the results of my own impromptu interview with this angel. Thirty minutes later the list was pasted and her name came out. She was ecstatic. She celebrated her success with the few others that had been chosen. When it was time to leave she walked up to me.
"Listen oga, I don't care what position you hold in this company, you can't start insulting me like that! Don't you have a sister? How dare you look at me like a piece of meat? I-
"I wasn't looking at you brea-sts!" I yelled angrily. She took a step back in shock. I was angry but mostly at myself for messing things up. I tried to bring my voice down.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you the way I did. Honestly I didn't notice , ah, never mind. Congratulations on getting the job. I just wanted to let you know that I was sorry. That was why I waited. And since I've made a mess of everything I might as well let you know you have beautiful eyes too."
I walked away then, leaving her looking stunned. I reached the stairs and was about going down it when I heard her run up behind me.
"I'm Nina," she said, smiling.
"Chuks" I replied, smiling too.
"You are weird, chuks." She said, still smiling. "Weird but nice. See you at work tomorrow?"
I thought: Armageddon wouldn't keep me away. I said: " maybe, yeah, ok."
She smiled again and went back to her friends. And me? I danced all the way home. Inwardly of course.

My name is chuks B-. And I have the sight. Pachios has explained that I did not relinquish my spiritual eyes before being born in the earth realm. Pachios is my guardian angel. At a massive 6ft 4inches and a body filled with bulging muscles laying a foundation for an extremely handsome but beardless face, he is quite formidable to look at- if you could see him.
Maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here, maybe I should start from the beginning.

I had a perfectly normal birth, no problems to my mother whatsoever. My father was absolutely ecstatic, having a son to begin his new family with. if I could talk I guess I would have told him I would be his only issue, as I saw the gateway through my mom's womb shut permanently immediately I came through. She wasn't being punished or anything, it was simply what she had asked for before coming to the earth realm. Of course she wouldn't remember it, no one did once they passed through the veil. No one that is, except special people like me. I remember it all.
The second time I used my sight was at the age of one when mum decided to get a house help to assist her in her chores and also to take care of me. As soon as she walked through the front door, all smiles and innocent-like, I saw what she was. She had barely gotten her bags unpacked before I chased after her, giggling, a fresh twig in my hand and gave that witch the flogging of her life. She screamed in agony but couldn't explain to my parents why a small stick in my hand would cause her so much pain. After 2 more days of flogging she ran away and was never seen or heard from again .


Brb, will continue later. My boss, who has a greed demon sitting squarely on his head, is watching me. Dosent like me touching my phone while at work...

Hi guys. Pls pls pls can u have a look at my short story THE ALTERCATION and ALTERNATE NIGERIA and tell me what you think? They r very short and won't take up much of ur time. Thanks oooooo.

@ofilispeaks, my namesake, I'm just happy u weren't in a certain short story competition a while ago! This is crazy stuff man, well done. A little fear though - how r u going to bring all these kids together? Well, already following!

Even more interesting.

Interesting.

As in two hundred and fifty naira only? A bit small init? What kind of articles?

Good morning everyone.

I would like to share a small percentage of my takings with the feminist, if she dosent mind. She should get something for being d last girl standing.

Nuges11: First of, I'd like to say a big thank you to the brain behind this competition, Mazi, big ups bro, you're much appreciated.

To the judges, wow, you guys are more than awesome. Making time out of no time to read through piles of stories, critique and grade each story is no child's play at all, and you guys did an excellent job at it. Kudos.

I must mention that I've gained so much here, and I'm very sure other contestants have learnt one thing or the other too.

Ms_Fibre, Royver, Oma4u and T-Flow, you guys were simply spectacular, I wanna write like you guys when I grow up . Royver, I read your other story, The Altercation, and I couldn't help but marvel at the way you paint vivid pictures with words, it was a privilege competing with you bro.

Thanks man, am glad you like it! Hope it wasn't too morbid?

Wow! Can't believe I came in 2nd place! For a moment there I thought I was out of the competition completely. @repogirl, ur suspicions were right, night visitor was rushed. Would have asked for more time if I knew I could. All the same , all d other stories were simply mind blowing! Miss fibre, Oma4u, tttttttt-flow(!) Nuges...U guys r awesome.
Thanks to the judges for their wonderful critiquing, corrections, comments... I have benefited immensely from your work. Thanks much!
Erm, could I pls ask a favour? Could u also have a look at my other writeups and tell me what u think? I'd be most grateful!
