Voila! You are permitted to have a peep into my thinking room for free here. No charges. I'm that much generous.

FIRM GRIP ON YOUR NECK


Story tugs at your shirt
Firm grip on your neck
Strangling you
Slowly
Time to die
.
No, not die
Perhaps time to kill
Time to take a knife
Slaughter laziness
On the altar of words
.
For, atimes, dear
You don’t kill something
Yet something kills you
.
Pick up your pen
Yank your shirt
Off the story’s grip
Take a breath
Long and deep
.
Write and live
You’ll not die today
You’ll not die tomorrow
.
Come and gone
When work’s done
And story dies
May we all dine
With bottles of wine
.
(To think I started out writing the above as an article… #Shaking_My_Head )

Get a copy of my e-book, Naija Campus Tales. It is an interesting collection of stories on campus life as narrated by a Nigerian medical student.
