Lagos, 2022Ifenna twisted his wristwatch clockwise as he tried to check the time. 1 PM!He frowned as Kelvin encouraged him to be more patient. Then, he looked down to the end of the street. It was far. "You think there is another road to this place?"Kelvin doubted it. He had been to the place they were going to a few times and every time he went, he followed the road they were following. If there was another road that led to a small social club made up of expatriates, he would have known.Ifenna was already on the move when he called him back and asked if he had remembered to bring along his entry fee worth five hundred naira. A small token designed to encourage the founders of the small social club."I brought it," Ifenna said. "Is it not five hundred naira?"Kelvin nodded.Ifenna placed his hand on his shirt pocket and brought the money out to prove to Kelvin that he was not lying. Kelvin felt pleased. He didn't want them to r

Bogota, 2022Two weeks had passed since an Australian man raised his gun, pointed at Dev and shoot in his direction. An unexpected connection had occured, and then an event someone would easily describe as a placid fictitious lie had swept throughout the mind of Dev as he fell. The place Blackwheel stood in was Bogota. The capital of one of the finest countries in South America. And the heat of the sun was high enough for him to lower his eyes as he tried to see the Australian man who had been sent to kill Dev. It was an unusual afternoon where he had to wake up early with the help of a Colombian lad who had been assigned to serve as a guide for him. The Colombian lad was fair. His skin was a shinning white as he stood in the sun and watched as Blackwheel lower his gun and pointed at the Australian man. He knew what Blackwheel had in mind to do to the Australian man who had killed Dev, and he was aware of the danger that he was going to expose them to but he was

Blackwheel got the message about the plans of the 'Priory of Göteborg' that had to do with him some days after the official meeting had been held in Munich. He got the message when he came out from the bathroom in the afternoon only to see another Colombian lad standing in front of him with his hands glued to a phone. He was furious as he stared at the lad who he had assigned to receive messages for him. "I have a message for you, sir," the Colombian lad had said. "It is in this phone. The sender said I should tell you that he is fine and that he is waiting for your return. Reply as soon as possible, sir. He is earnestly waiting."

Lagos, 2016MACRADONA :So, it has been a month now and I have missed you. I just want to say I am sorry if I have made you feel somehow. Deep down, I have always wished I asked why you felt we didn't satisfy each other's needs. I know it is too late now and I sincerely wished things were different. Even if this might take you a long time before you see this mail, I want you to know that I think about you everyday, and that I care about you and wish you were still taking care of my emotional needs. I am not going to write the short story I told you about again because I feel less motivated to write. I mean, I tried to write and create something beautiful but it is impossible to create something beautiful when you can't stop thinking about something! Everything about me right now just feels empty. I am done with thinking about the flowers close to the road so I sent you some pictures of them. And I just felt that as you have decided to cut me out of your life

Lagos, 2022Ifenna read the headlines written boldly on the Nation newspaper and considered it silently. He looked at the pyramids that were close to a politician at the front page of the newspaper, wondering if one of them could somehow be the last set to be remembered among the locals. He dropped the newspaper on the table."You need to apologise to Sharon," he said to Kelvin, not sure if it was the best way to welcome a man who looked pale. "Sharon is a nice person. She will understand how you feel if you decide to come out clean which I am not sure you will. But anything can happen. You can change whenever you want to change. It all depends on the decision you choose to make."Kelvin rubbed his forehead slowly and sat down. "I don’t think Sharon will be pleased to accept me back after what I did to her yesterday, Ifenna. I made her feel awful for coming to see me. Who acts in the way I do?""You!" Ifenna responded quickly. "Only you act in the way
