• Lazy days

  Lazy days by Enya lilted through the MP4 player beside the window to Alice’s heavy bluish blanket covering her body, sipping through its microscopic pores into her drowsy ears, and into her dreams. She was sick of England and needed a switch. Her intuition and map both agreed Lagos Nigeria was the wonderland. Here she…

• Wooden smile

  Like a window into the world of the ancients, the statue of Aya stood in the evergreen virgin forest. Her eyes seem to follow you as you move around her. Her heaving chest, rhythmic with that of anyone who came close to her. She was a piece of a fairy tale that extended into reality.…

• Flash

  Rain. Lightening. A glimpse of his foot in an old shoe trekking a familiar road. Reminds him of the old oversized overalls he wore, and his affinity to antiquity which the rain seemed determined to wash away. Flash of lightning. Reveals an approaching shadow that arrives and greets. No responds. This was no time for…

• Juliet

  8 O’Clock. He’s getting late. Still upstairs. On the first floor. There! His window. He walks down the stairs, halfway, he climbs up to hug and kiss his wife. Comes down. Runs up again. He’s possessed. Of love. Romantic. Like his red scooter. https://cyranny.com/2022/08/10/august-10th-1minfiction-challenge/

• A living canvass

  A soothing song sat softly on her mind all day and wouldn’t leave, like the way her story was trapped in that old dress and wouldn’t fade. The moving notes guided her fingers groping the margins of her heart for the right words to describe what that dress had come to symbolize for her. Although…

• Odessa – Chapter 3: Fire on the mountain

  As the setting sun faded in the sky, it dissolved its yellowish colour and sprayed it into the faces of the arrogant mountains that stood up to it. On a small, wooden, black and white tv, the president addressed the nation. The president wasn’t angry. He only struggled to keep his voice down when he…
