Amis Novels & Stories

Ejima blinked and the pool of tears fell, “What have I done wrong, who did I offend? Why are the gods treating me with so much hatred? Why? Haven’t I been a faithful wife? Answer me. Where have my hands gone wrong? Why have the windows of blessing shut their face from me? Why has the rain refuse to water my crop? Or am I a living dead? Why can’t I feel my breath?” “Emm, I don’t have an answer for you,” Adaku said “but this is what I must tell you. You are a miracle. You survived four miscarriages and on every occasion, you gave birth, not to one child, but two?” “My God,” Ejima covered her mouth. Nobody has ever told her that before. Well, maybe because she never asked. “Yes,” Adaku continue

Ami says. “Oh, he’s working here?” She smiles at me. “Hi, I’m Tia.” She extends her hand, and I shake it, returning the smile. “I work over there. If you need anything, stop by,” she says with a flirty grin. “He’ll mostly work from home, so he won’t be stopping by,” Ami interjects before I can reply. I glance at her—she looks slightly irritated, unlike when we walked in. “Aww, bummer. I was looking for a new after-work drinking buddy. Maybe we can still—”

Aamina smirked teasingly, making her cousin's cheeks turn red with her bold compliment. “Appi…” pulling her arm from her hold, Maria gaped at her, angry at her for being so daring. She was feeling so embarrassed in front of dado who had heard Aamina’s remark and was now rubbing her back trying to coax her, glaring at her for being so shameless. “Batameez. Have some shame Aamina!”

Beep, beep, beep... Riley hit the snooze button on her phone. Five minutes later, the same annoying alarm sounded, and this time, she didn't ignore it. It was 6 A.M. and she knew she needed to shower and get ready for her breakfast date with Ethan. As she got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom, she heard her phone vibrate, so she ran over and grabbed it to see, "Good morning, beautiful. Meet me at the diner in town for 8?". She beamed and replied with a "heart emoji, see you then," text right back. She placed her phone back down and grabbed her towel, heading for the shower.

the kind computer voice asks as a wall of screens awakens with a bright flash of light, showing the views of 24 cameras both inside and outside the house. "What is Operation Amanita?" I ask, wondering why a secret operation is named after a deadly, poisonous mushroom. "It is the ai-driven home security system," the computer voice answers. "Would you like a demonstration?" Seeing the men searching my Auntie's room, and more men trampling our lilies in the garden out back my hands ball into tight fists. How dare they come into my home and break our things? "Yes," I answer my jaw stiff and tight with anger. "Show me."

This is just insane. **********

aji and Anna's reunion and watching the happy couple's joy at both their freedoms. Everyone except Lyle who took one look at Amaris and picked her up off the floor and brought her over to the adjacent cot. "Are you okay?" He whispered to her. Keeping his hands on her back and waist he pushed back from her. She had huge dark rings under her eyes, and there were a few visible strands of grey in her hair. It was clear that bringing Anna back was no small task. None of the others seemed to notice they were all so happy that Taji was free and Anna was conscious. Amaris tried to sit up "I'm fine just a bit tired", but her head swam, and she grabbed on to the side of the cot for balance. L

“Good morning sir, it is time for the stakeholders meeting and I’ve prepared your speech and filed the budget scheme fo9r the remaining half of the year. Is there anything else you’d want me to do for you?” Amie said, standing in front of her boss wearing a body hugging wine ankle skirt and a brown crop shirt. She packed her hair up in a pony tail, her crop shirt showing off little of her cleavage.
