I GOT HURT EARLIER TODAY


…and I bled orange blood


We dressed in black to mourn the death of other faculties," a friend of mine said.


And, come on, guys! We did just that!!


Life was as colorful as it ever gets. Roses were red, the sky was so blue, lavender blooms surrounded me, and the orange sky couldn't have been more radiant.


I walked elegantly as I basked in my ochre glory, gliding like the sun in flight, in my block heeled boots, casting orange rays while still matching in dignified style.


It wasn't easy being the plus one in everyone's picture, but someone had to do the job. Things we do for love.


We filed up in pairs of male and female. The singles were once again, reminded of their sad fates while the couples of course, lounged in awaiting breakfast. I however, put my hands in God's own since my partner left me for a lady with a pretty ponytail.


Men are scorpions, believe me.


THE GREAT PROCESSION BEGAN after lo donkey years.


Everyone walked like it were the Ford Models runway. I loved the smiles on the beautiful faces of my ladies and the radiant grins on the handsome faces of my sweet gentlemen.


My fellow inductees and I were ushered into the hall where tables were prepared before us, in the presence of our legal associates. The fragrance of the law swept me off my feet.


Eiii brother Bernard


I took my seat before a silver platter.


Call me the princess of the law, pleeease.


Speeches were made, and alas!


THE ORANGE SCROLL was made manifest. She evinced the depths of my soul! The words of the scroll were voiced with the solemn contralto that pulled the strings of my heart. I trembled before its magnitude, I took solace in the arms of the law, and the paternal affection of my dear founder engulfed me.


I OFFICIALLY BECAME A PACESETTER! and will be till death do us part.


My mom says, "don't talk while eating", so I decided to type instead, I love the food from the Ivy League firm. The food that nourishes my soul with radiance and bathes my heart in orange sun rays.


I am convinced beyond every doubt known to man and beyond every uncertainty conceivable to mankind, that the blood in my vein is orange!


I was a pacesetter before I became anything else!!


I AM THE RADIANCE OF THE LAW!!!!



And indeed, Chioma Amadi is the radiance of the law!!

DENIAL

By -

BY JESAM IBIANG Life often presents us with circumstances that challenge our core, moments where the ground beneath us seems to crumble. It is in these instances of profound hurt, overwhelming challenge, or urgent need for help that we frequently encounter denial. Denial is not merely ignoring a problem; it’s a profound, internal choice to cling to “what is not,” even when we know, deep down, the stark reality of “what is.” The truth is, there is no shame in acknowledging vulnerability or fear. Denial is a form of fear and it is often difficult to acknowledge fear. Denial, blurs the truth, offering a distorted lens through which to view our circumstances. I am not saying that denial is altogether a terrible thing. Denial is not inherently malicious. It serves a primal, protective function. Imagine the immediate aftermath of a sharp cut—a knife or a machete. For a few crucial seconds, there’s a numbness, a strange void before your brain registers the trauma and sends in the searing pain...

ANOTHER CAUTIONARY TALE

BY KAMSI MAFO Her head rests on his lap. His hand runs through her hair. She looks at him, a smile on her face. He seems not to notice, his brow furrowed with thought. She reaches up and touches his cheek lightly and his face lightens. "What smart thing are you thinking now?" she asks. He laughs gently, his baritone voice causing a vibration at the back of her neck that makes her tongue tingle. "Bits and pieces, here and there… nothing much," he responds. She looks at him funnily. "A funny anecdote or a paradox? Perhaps it's another story about another mad man," she says, laughing too. There’s a bit of quiet, and the only sound they hear is the night. "Tell me one of them," she says. "One of your stories." He smiles and tells her that it's not as easy as she thinks. "It comes and goes… like a whisper in the wind," he tells her. "There's a lot of breeze about," she responds. "Listen—perhaps it'll ...

LOSING HUMANITY

 BY TREASURE EKANEM “I think I’m losing faith in humanity.”  I get too engrossed in the things I do sometimes, and my roommates and friends have gotten used to repeating statements before I get to hear them. So, when I looked up at Sandy, the look on her let me know that she had made that statement to me more than once. I was piqued cause Sandy is one of the few friends I have that wholeheartedly lets me be the talker. She doesn’t voice out her thoughts and issues words sparingly. I knew whatever made her come all the way to my bed to say this must have burdened her a lot. So, I put my PC down, and asked, “Why do you think so?” No one truly loves any more. No one truly cares any more. No one gives selflessly anymore. No one trusts wholeheartedly anymore. We hate ourselves and we let it show in everything we do. We have become so self absorbed that as far as a concern doesn’t directly affect us, we wouldn’t care if it all goes to hell. We are so consumed in our own interests th...
