This Thing Called Love

Post Failed-Suicide: Life after death

As I write this, I think about the famous quote “once you go black, you never go back” I transform that to “once you go dark, you never go back” This might be a call for help. Maybe. Might. Just maybe. I remember a date I went on and I was asked what I think of mad people. I respond that no

Asides from the ever rising cases of tension headache, due to excessive screen time. I feel the need to highlight the use of social media is paramount. Firstly, before I kick-start the subject, I must acknowledge and agree that, social media definitely contributes to the depression, anxiety and immerse esteem issues.

Life is an End Game: A tribute to an ended trauma.

Monday 17th June, 2019. 13:45pm “Sis Lulu calling” “Love Cuz calling” I’m stealing glances at my phone screen, as I’m enroute Benin City from Port Harcourt.

Blog Tour: Stab Love With Flower Stalks by Amethyst Saw

Excerpt VIII I cried during sex before dawn. With each flick, each lick, I arched into an ocean. The waves of familiar pleasure crashed over my rigid nipples, my stretching vestibule.
