Tunde Ibrahim who had sustained a bullet on his leg, was on the floor. And he had a gun pointed at a female who was decorated in bruises, and had her clothes coated in blood.
I looked closely, and saw that it was Mia.
My heart moved to my throat at this, and I felt weak right at that instant.
Mia looked half as dead, and I could tell that I stopped breathing.
Just as Tunde Ibrahim pulled the trigger, I saw a lady from nowhere diving in to shield Mia away from the bullet.

This happened within the space of two seconds, and I shot Tunde Ibrahim on both hands. Before I rushed in to Mia.

MiaI took my glasses off and yawned out loudly. I was famished, all because I had been writing about a Parent who impregnated his own daughter for the past three hours. Proofreading, carrying out self edit, and also reducing my use of big grammars, so as not to give people the headache of going to check a dictionary countless time, before moving over to read the second paragraph.I wanted my readers to understand my story. Although, I needed to add some lie, to make the story seem more interesting, and to make it lengthier.The story was short but I wanted it to be lengthy because my grumpy old boss, Mr Derrick never ceased the opportunity to lay constant complains whenever I wrote short articles or news. He usually read the story before it would undergo publishing.Currently, I was having slight pains on my f

MiaOn my way to work after lunch, I drove a crowd of people who were shouting at the corner of the road at Ikoyi. Eager to know what the hell was on going, and with the reporter part of me which kicked in, I reversed the car back, stopped and alighted from the car to take a view.I could hear murmuring and cursing from the people. I moved closer, and I coudn't see what was happening because a plump dark lady with a toddler on her back was obstructing my damn view.Cursing no one in particular because I was pissed and irritated, I walked to the other side of where the crowd was thronging together.A huge guy was holding a piece of wood on his right beasty paw, while his left was akimbo, and it was wide open since he was very bulky in size.I had no optio

I wasn't interested in what she was saying because I didn't like talking.She had arrived at my house that evening when I was in my study. Clad in jeggings, jacket, boots and excessive make up on her face, insisting we go grab some drinks. She had had a hectic day at work and wanted to spend sometime with me.She ordered for soft drinks while I ordered for beer. She was on her third bottle now, while I was still on my second. I was tired of her ranting and was getting irritated.Bolu and I had been dating for two months, and the damn woman couldn't understand my person.

Alex"Dinner is served." I informed, watching over her from my shoulder as I settled the plates of food on the dinning table. I didn't need to raise my voice because I had a deep voice."Awwww, that's so sweet. I'm coming." Bolu said from the sitting room where she was watching Telenovela. She was putting on the pajamas I had lend her and sipping the coffee she had made.I replied her with a firm nod, took a seat and waited for her.She stood up moments later, and made her way towards the dinning room. She looked really cute in my wine coloured satin pajamas, with her artificial bone straight waist length hair. I couldn't help but admire her that moment as my gaze slid up her body. She was a real beauty."What did you prepare, Al?" She asked, hastily grabbing a fork, as she

BoluThe sound of buzzer and dogs barking made me stir, as I hugged the pillow tighter, pressing my face into it. The stupid barking increased and I grudgingly sat upright, and ran my hand through my wildly tangled hair. I stretched my foot looking for one pair of slipper I had worn last night. I could feel my lips twitching into a pout.I yawned with my hand fisted against my mouth, stretched my arms and wore the comfy bedroom flip-flops I had worn last night. The air conditioner had made them cold though.Wondering why Alex wasn't in bed with me, I decided to head into his study.The damn guy must've slept in there. But he wasn't there when I got in. Meanwhile, barking of the dogs had gone out of control, like the were having mental disorder.
