Dedicated to my late parents–Mr and                     Mrs Godwin Alfa.                      ~~~~****~~~~  Unicorns and rainbows were all that mattered to me. What else would matter to a six year old?I smiled to myself and held the tiny hand of my little sister."I'm your Mommy now," I said sweetly to the two year old that was only interested in drinking from the juice box in her hand.Snatching the juice box from her hand I said, "call me Mommy."She opened her little mouth to cry, but I quickly stuffed it with her pacifier and plac

Lightening flashed and illuminated my symphony blue room that was neatly arranged by Curt and-my eyes involuntarily rolled themselves at the mention of his name. I needed to get rid of everything that reminded me of him. Sadly, I couldn't throw my room away. Maybe, I could sell my house and travel to Hawaii–definitely a big no.My body was weak and I couldn't explain just how bitter I felt inside of me. Why didn't I just end the relationship if I wasn't happy with it? Well, you guessed right. He was a silver tongued devil! That was why trying to end it was like squeezing water out of a rock.Taking in a deep breath, I turned to face the door with my body secured under my warm channel duvet. I was a sucker for that designer. Heck, I even got a channel vibrator. Okay, there was no such thing as a channel vibrator–I was lying and no, I definitely did not own a vibrator.The soft knock on my door drew me out of my

He tightened his grip on my neck and I could have sworn it was Eddie because it smelt like him, but I wasn't sure because my hallway was dark. I clawed his hand that was around my neck and struggled to breathe.  "St-st-help." I tried to scream, but it came out as a whimper. Finally, he released my neck and punched the wall beside my head severally–caging my heart in fear. "How dare you?" He growled in such a way that it echoed in my hallway.  I bent a little and rubbed my neck, coughing like a cat that swallowed a bone.  "Answer me!" He thundered and I searched for the light switch on the wall.  "What-what hav

I bent rigid to the spot with my butt still facing the attendees. I shut my eyes tight and prayed for the divine intervention of God. Let a big chunk of the roof fall on them, especially Mitch.I widened my eyes and felt a heavy feeling in the depths of my stomach.Hello, brain! This is the time you tell me what to do. I blinked once, then twice before deciding to check if I had granny panties on. To my disappointment, It was a red g-string. No wonder I heard wolf whistling from the back."What's that?" The fat man asked and strolled behind me to feed his eyes with what the others were eating.Finally, I stood upright and waves of embarrassment hit me in the face as their eyes bored holes into my skin. There was this lump in my throat that I was finding hard to swallow. If there was something I hated so much, it was embarrassment.Suck it in, bitch!

There was this great feeling of euphoria in me that I couldn't help, but laugh at nothing in particular with my hands in the air.  "I believe I can fly!" I yelled, spreading my arms like they were wings. "I believe I can touch the sky!"  Wings sprouted from my back and I widened my eyes in amazement. There were pink clouds around me and even on the floor–mirroring cotton candies, I bet they tasted nice.  "Woah!" I laughed, staring strangely at my fingers because there were fire works shooting out of them. In no time, I had gotten the attention of the crowd and they cheered for me, beckoning me to use my new wings.  "One, two...three!" I jumped off the table and landed
