Tom Loitering the school compound, Tom was caught, caned and expelled. It all seemed to be a dream until he found himself going home before the normal 2PM. On his way going home he was thinking; "what do I have to do now because mom and dad are going to have me punished". He finally came up with an idea he called good; "I'm going to hang around till it's 2PM, then I'll go home and act like nothing ever happened" he concluded. At exactly 2PM, Tom headed straight for home (though he had guilt on his mind). On reaching home, Tom found out that Dad hasn't come back for launch because Mom was still cooking. He went in through the door, gave his mom a cold greeting and rocketed himself towards his room. Unfortunately, before he could touch the door handle (of his room), mom sensed that something was wrong. "Hey Tom, are you OK?" Mom asked, Tom who had to continue as planned replied his mom in a warm tone; "I'm alright mom!". H...

Dave is a guy who loves football more than the average guy, he's exactly the opposite of 'thick and tall'. He celebrated his birthday a day before his success story began. Just as he slept on his birthnight(birthday's night) and woke into the next day, he found out that things had began to work out for his good. "You have gotten a scholarship to study in Canada" said Dave's dad who was waiting for his son's reply. Dave took in a deep breath and gave himself a 5seconds countdown as he jumped off the bed, he jumped in such a way that he could have gotten his head cut by the ceiling fan.

It all ended when he got tired (just like an Igbo proverb interprets "it takes energy to be mad"). His loving mom prepared the family's favourite meal as she also invited family friends to join in the celebration. This (I guess) was the best d...

I was so deep into one of my sweet dreams when I heard a gunshot. It was actually bad because the gunshot wasn't part of the dream(I thought so). I woke up and peeped through my window to confirm what was happening and where it was happening, then I also peeped through my door's keyhole to ensure that it had nothing to do with me. Courage was scared out of me when the gunshot became rapid, it sounded as if two big continents are in war against each other. Then I remembered an idiom that says “when two elephants fight, it is the ground that suffers” and then it occurred to me that I represent the ground in this fight of theirs. I looked outside my window again just to find out that the war was waged by two cult groups. However, I still thank God that they all shot their guns with perfect accuracy. Not quite longer than 30 minutes, I heard the sound of a chopper and the sound of sirens; It was the SWAT team that had come in to show the cult groups the full meaning of 'SWAT...
