I just had to write this one after all the different conversations I overheard today, regarding Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day if you celebrate it, and never mind if you don’t. This is a story about love and life on Val’s Day in Accra! If you love Val’s day and you gnashed today, this storyContinue reading “V is for lovers”

Love me fiercely: The Men’s Version
My good friend Mandela wrote the male version of Love me fiercely and even though I am not a guy, I suspect that he has hit the nail on the head. (Guys, am I right?) We have the most random of conversations based on his whatsapp status and he just seemed like the right person forContinue reading “Love me fiercely: The Men’s Version”
Waiting for Kathy
I co-wrote this story in 2015 with Gerard Nartey via whatsapp. He’d write one paragraph and I would write the next, even though we didn’t have any idea what kind of ending the other person had in mind. I don’t know why I never published it then. Happy reading and cheers to spontaneous writing! HisContinue reading “Waiting for Kathy”
Love me fiercely
Love me fiercely. Love me boldly. Surprise me with hausa koko at work.

Cover me with a blanket and kiss my forehead even thoughContinue reading “Love me fiercely”

Soliloquy
It was there when I got home. My dinner. Two bowls covered with a napkin. I hate it when she does this- plays the dutiful wife when I have been a jerk. That ‘coals of fire’ thing they taught us in Sunday School actually works. It makes me feel worse for not being there forContinue reading “Soliloquy”
Plantain chips
I have never reblogged anything before, but then again, I don’t remember the last time I enjoyed a short story this much. Enjoy! P.S: I miss you guys! 😢 **Here I’m experimenting with imagery. Too wordy? I think I overdid it XD. He was almost there. He shivered as he walked, despite his briskContinue reading “Plantain chips”
