The mountains were in close sight now. The Verde road amongst many other roads was the only one that was full of bumps, small rocks and potholes. Sodo and Fillia were tarred, smooth and easy to navigate through to the mountains. The mountains there were nothing close to Verde’s. My parents had told me about […]
Lowe was a town that Elle had grown to cherish gradually, to the point where she couldn’t imagine a life outside it. She loved it so much and hoped to establish a family in this rural haven. One of the traditions that she really loved was the Siti Festival, an annual event held in the […]
The chirping sounds of the birds as they perched on the tree awakened me from sleep. I could not but notice the sun as it rose beautifully across the mountains. Towards the east, I could see the mountains closer than when I first started the journey. At the beginning of the journey, my goal was […]
The roads in town are usually busy. People trying to get to their destinations, in no time. I was walking down when I saw Espera sitting at the corner of Verde, the road that leads straight to the mountains. Everyone in Verde knows Espera because he’s been on that road for a long time. He’s […]

From the popular coronavirus pandemic to people regarding themselves as genderless, I think this is a time to step back, reflect on our perception […]
I was to tag this ‘Fly’ article, “It’s 2020 and you’re going to be okay”. I will share a story instead. I was to travel back after the holidays back to work. The holidays had been good. I mean after adding about 2kg, being in full control of how I expended my time, who would […]
Briskly walking through the hallway, excited and exhilarated, the next door was opened for me. All my life, I’ve had to enter through several doors. Each one had written on it, “Hora.” There were some strict rules guiding the hallway. You only enter once and never return. You also didn’t know how many doors you […]
