he responds. I roll my eyes, my finger pausing its lazy trail along the ink on his skin. “I said I have to tell you something, not ask you something.” “Then tell me.” I rub my lips together, wondering what’s the best way to start the conversation. My cheeks puff out as I let out a deep breath. “The first night we met…my first night here…”

I asked “Actually, I feel like telling you the whole story. You will just have to wait for your questions till the end.” a smug smile appeared across his face. Grabbing a hammer and a stool, I sat down in front of him. He was eyeing the hammer with concern. “You can tell the story but if you decide to get smart, I will start with your fingers and work my way up.” To make my point, I pulled the hammer above my head and brought it down harm on his pinky.

"Thank you." "The line you added at the very end," Evelyn continued. "The line about the kitchen knowing what it is—that is your first sentence and your last sentence." Aurora gripped the edge of the desk. "You want to build the entire narrative around that?" "Yes," the editor stated firmly. "The book begins with a kitchen that does not know yet. It ends with a kitchen that finally does. Everything in between is the process of knowing." "The process of knowing," Aurora whispered.

I looked away unwilling to speak. "Speak up, child," she said. "Where do I start from?" I asked myself, but it was audible for her to hear. "Your story," she said. "The long story. I am willing to hear." I smiled looking at her, and so did she. Opening my mouth to speak, I closed it again. I didn't know how to present it. I didn't want to bring back bad memories. "There is someone I love. The way we came together is a story on its own," I said with a sniffle.

“I’m offering you a story the world will chew on for years.” “I’m offering you the chance to speak without handcuffs—at least for now.” I met her gaze evenly. “Let’s not pretend this is a negotiation. You want to talk, talk. I’ll write.” She let out a breathy laugh, shaking her head as she leaned back in her chair, one long leg crossing over the other. “Fair enough, sweetheart. Let’s start then.” She took a sip of her drink, eyes never leaving mine. “Ask away.” I didn’t waste time. “Tell me about your family. Your real one.”

“Would you like to hear a story?” To a click of the tongue, as a smile draws and someone’s subconsciousness and very thoughts agree in silent response. A book is open as a triggering start where HE glances quick and cunningly smiles, starting with the words and the introduction that brought his thoughts back to his past and the very beginning of his entwine life towards the world and the very book of. “DEATH REINCARNATE.”

I suddenly started to feel nervous. "Hi Amarachi, I'm your literature teacher. My name is Miss Ada. Welcome to Crownstar highschool." I smiled at her. "So who doesn't have a seat partner? A girl raised her hands and Miss Ada asked me to seat with her. She started teaching and that was when I remembered that I didn't collect the pen my mum bought. I didn't want to ask anyone for a spare pen but then it was my first day at school and I did not want to start skipping notes. I asked the guy at my front for a spare pen but he didn't have any one. The girl beside him smiled and gave me a pen, I thanked her and started writing.

“Don’t come in strong with the interview. Find him and talk to him like a person. I bet it will knock him off his feet.” “And I can knock this story out of the park,” I said. “Exactly, but don’t start off with that.” “I know how to play it,” I said as a flurry of ideas popped into my head. “Thanks for talking it out with me.” “No problem,” he said. “Be sure to bring me back something nice in return for helping you.” I smirked. “Goodbye, Matt.”

I don’t mind, after all he was there in all my performance practice. “Well, I was in the middle of practicing out loud.” He made himself comfortable on my bed before looking at me, “let’s hear it then, that way I can point out your mistakes.” I nodded without complaints and started from the beginning. He listened to me attentively and waited to finish the whole thing. “So…?” I asked nervously, I know I got tongue-tied on some words and my voice is a little breathless. “To start… if you want your readers to understand and connect with your story, you have to talk a bit slower.

He was just staring at the moon clearly in deep thought. She decided to lie down the mat to look at the stars. “Tell me a story” she requested then snuggled in Daniel’s arms. It’s getting chilly now and she finds Daniel’s warm body comforting. “Okay. I’ll tell you a story. You may or may not believe it” he started. “Why does your story always start with ‘you may or may not believe it’?” she noticed his funny way of telling a story. “Because it’s a good story nonetheless. It’s up to you to believe it” he gently smiled while tucking her hair behind her ear.
