"The White Party"

After being single for the past two years, I decided to give love another chance and embrace new adventures.

It was an all-white night party, with smooth saxophone tunes playing softly along the beach. This used to be my favorite kind of outing one I never missed until my last relationship left me emotionally shattered.

I showed up in a sleek white jumpsuit, fully aware that I was turning heads. I came with an agenda, one I had rehearsed in my mind a hundred times. I sat quietly with a chilled bottle of Alvaro, watching couples dance around a bonfire that crackled gently in the center of the beach, casting golden light across the crowd.

By 9 PM, I was still all alone not even a casual "hi" from anyone. The solitude was starting to feel heavy.
"Maybe I should start planning to become a nun," I muttered to myself and sighed deeply.

When it was time for food, I hesitated for a moment, then joined the queue. As I was scooping out some jollof rice, our eyes met. He was tall, energetic, and built like a Greek god. Whoosh! "This is it," I thought. I couldn’t stop staring until he smiled and gave me a slow, deliberate wink. Oh my goodness! My heart somersaulted. I felt giddy and alive again.

I tried to maintain an air of elegance and mystery, even though I was over the moon. I usually eat like a construction worker, but tonight I made a show of delicate eating polished diplomacy on display.

I couldn’t deny it, I was crushing hard. And judging by the way he kept looking my way, I was sure I had a good shot. I stood up to dance, swaying seductively, hoping to reel him in further.

He stood up too, flashing that same captivating smile. My heart skipped a beat as he walked toward me. But then, without warning, he turned and wrapped his arms around another lady who had just arrived.

My heart shattered into pieces. 💔💔💔 Everything I had hoped for dissolved in seconds.

As I tried to recover from the sudden emotional blow, a chilling presence made its entrance. This mysterious woman dressed in all black stepped onto the scene. She exuded an eerie kind of beauty, otherworldly, magnetic. Every man at the party seemed suddenly drawn to her.

Little did I know, this enigmatic stranger carried secrets that would change everything. Secrets that were already entwined with my destiny.

After a brief exchange with my supposed crush, she turned her gaze directly at me, piercing, deliberate, and unblinking. I froze. A cold shiver ran down my spine.

Just as I reached to grab my purse and leave, a deep soothing voice whispered behind me.

"Hello, Damsel."

"The Welcome" The week had been full of soft smiles and routine gestures, but a subtle change had taken hold in Obiora. He laughed at Chukwuamaka’s jokes, held her in bed at night, and helped plan the bookstore’s early blueprint, but behind his eyes was a quiet, unshakable shadow. Still, he carried it with grace, shielding her from worry. It was a quiet Sunday morning when Chukwuamaka brought it up. “Obi... I was thinking, it’s been a long while since we went to church together. Maybe it’s time we go back. You know... realign.” Obiora paused in buttoning his shirt, his eyes meeting hers in the mirror. For a beat, silence filled the room. Then he nodded slowly. “You're right. Let’s go.” They stepped into Glory Tabernacle Ministries, an unassuming white building tucked between shops on the edge of Surulere. Inside, it was different still, reverent, with a charged kind of peace that clung to the air like incense. At the pulpit stood Reverend Kukpeje, a man in his early 50s w...

"The Room No One Lives In" That night, I couldn’t sleep. There was no nightmare this time, just a deep, unsettling feeling crawling through my skin like something was watching me. My heart beat heavy in the silence. The ticking clock sounded like a war drum. I picked up my phone and dialed Axel. “Can you come get me? I don’t want to be alone tonight.” He didn’t hesitate. Within 20 minutes, his car pulled up outside my gate. The sight of him brought relief, and I slid into the passenger seat like a child running to safety. We didn’t talk much on the drive, just the smooth hum of the road and his reassuring hand over mine. His house was dark and quiet, like always. He wrapped his arms around me and led me inside, holding me tight. We laid down with some Kenny G saxophone softly filling the room, warm, gentle, seductive. It felt like a movie scene. I nuzzled into his chest, the tension from earlier slowly melting into comfort. Around 2 a.m., we became intimate again. It felt dee...

 “The Reversal” The night settled in Obiora's home with an eerie silence. Aunty Amina, seated in a dimly lit corner of the living room, held a thick bundle of dried ancestral leaves close to her heart. Something in her spirit whispered a warning. Her instincts, forged through years of spiritual attunement, told her she had become the target of a dark ritual. Without hesitation, she lit a small fire in the backyard and began a powerful counter-incantation, drawing ancient protective symbols into the air as she chanted: “Ase edumare, arugbo ojo! Fi ina re run ota mi. To ba se iku won rò fun mi, ki iku bo won ni afẹfẹ.” (Oh Ancient of Days! Let Your fire consume my enemies. If they plotted death for me, may death chase them in the wind.) As the leaves crackled in the flame, a gust of wind swept through the compound. Her body trembled confirmation. The attack was real. And the spirits had answered her call. Meanwhile in the village… Chukwuamaka and Ada stepped out of Nana’s shrine. The...
