Never Enough – A Short Story

Soft laughter filled the night sky, rolling through the tree branches as shadows danced in the cloudless night. Little feet patted this way and that, little voices trailing behind. All seemed calm and serene. No one could tell what was coming. *** Straightening after tucking the long end of her shoelace into her shoe, Ladi…

My Very First Crush 😎

It was 2002 or 2003 and I was in primary four or five. It was December and we were preparing for the end of the year school party which would include a play about the birth of Jesus, among other things. The teacher made the announcement about the play and asked everyone who was interested…
