Novel & Cerita Autobiographical Stories

“Yes, you covered me with the robe remember, and you said the story was ‘my story’ and ‘all about me,’ just as I wanted you to. Mr Isimud was quite right when he said, all stories are autobiographical at heart, and now he’s gone, the story really is ‘all about me,’ and that makes me the teller of the tale. I own the story, just as I always wanted. Now I really will be immortal, but on my own terms. Just as soon as I rebuild it.” The Anunnaki moved a little closer to Jimmy.

The complexities weave on: the seldom lost from home that awakened in me horror and a feeling of nostalgia; disturbing screamings and leaping from my dreams when confronted with nightmares; luring of an unfriendly friend into picking of a naira coin leading to getting several lashes form dreadful ladies. The several forceful scooping from the ground half-smoked cigarettes which led us running tauntingly to find refuge under the iron bed of one retired granny. O

It was an endeavor that aimed to illuminate the darkness of hardship with the radiant light of hope. Abigail, drawing on her background in writing, assumed the role of the storyteller.

That photograph was our story, captured in one still frame. I sipped my coffee and exhaled slowly. My novels had always been about love, hope, and perseverance, themes that had grown naturally out of my own life experiences.

I wondered what kind of stories they would want to read, what tales might help them understand themselves and others better.

But Horace refused. "I'm too weak," he said. I couldn't help but laugh. Weak? This was the same man who was determined to make a baby with me despite being sick. But I knew the real reason—it was because I had nearly bled out when I gave birth, and he was terrified. If he didn't want a second child, fine. I started urging Horace to return to the company.

I would normally just brush it off and apologize, but my mind just blanked for some reason earlier. I still don't understand why these people are suddenly gaining colors. Why specifically these people? It's not even limited to the people at school anymore since Al's obviously from somewhere else. It just doesn't make sense. It's not like I know them from anywhere else. I wish I knew something more about my illness so I could at least stop being so confused.
