On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.  "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Man's Extinction? | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

Hot chase. Relentless! 'Run!' You hear your mother's voice echoing from wherever. You are startled. You halt. Turn around. No human in sight. 'Keep running, son!'  You shiver. Your hair is erect like an excited phallus. They're fast, too fast. they're catching up. You could feel their hands ripping your flesh apart. Turn and fight or hide? A rush of adrenaline. You turn. Their yellow eyes pierce your biceps. Your courage deflates. You turn. You sprint. 'Hide' The voice is still.  You stop on your tracks. Your heart drumming like hard rock beats. You don't trust this new voice. You can't deduce the owner. Your memory hurries to search past voices registered in it's index. You feel fragmented. No face to match the voice. 'H. ...

The Export | Short Story by Ekeson Egwuonwu

THE EXPORT I actually didn't know what Old Prof wanted from me. He helped me, fine. I know, but I hadn’t asked him to bundle me into his sentiments. On several attempts, he couldn’t allow me say a single word while we had conversation in front of a glowing fire, that stroke of the night. Like a cantankerous woman, he dominated the conversation as though I knew nothing— as he told his own version of the Biafra War: how the Nigerian soldiers mangled and subjugated the East to perpetual annihilation. While in the midst of our conversation, I’d thought he was talkative, because of the load of experiences he had garnered over the years. I knew, knowledge makes one loud or mad— or, there is this explosiveness in the head of knowledgeable people, just like an energy trying to escape from an enclosed container, that’s how they’d always want to say all they have in the head. However, if too much knowledge wasn’t the reason Old Prof had been loud and talkative, then, old age should probably ...

New Book Alert! David Lein Victor Launches His Book 'The Apple In Our Bloodstream

Today marks the official release of  David Lein Victor's book, "The Apple In Our Bloodstream" and I feel it's okay to share with you. From the author: This is a book that was birthed out after having series of heartbreak on seeing many people take religious laws and activities to heart. Instead of us to focus on the development of our dear world, we forget ourselves in most of the doctrines of religion made by man and begin to tread wrongly. It's just so sad.

Flash Fiction: The Fall - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

'Not again, please. Must you do this everyday?' Adam protested. ' I'll make it snappy, my lord. I hear rumours of new creatures' His stomach rumbles. He gives in. She stoops beside him, her breasts brushing his ribs. One... two… ten... eleven… thirteen...eighteen... She counted until she got the last rib. ' Aha! Complete' She affirmed. Satisfied. Adam exhaled, shook his head and requested for his meal. ' Under the mango tree, my love... fruit salad today. I bet you'll love it'. Famished and weary of her now increasingly annoying jealousy, he sprawled on the grass, ready to shove ‘em fruits down his throat. ' How long will this continue? Ehn?'
