"Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot"
Everything was cool up until the summer that Liberty Avenue closed. More specifically the morning where it first occurred to many of them that maybe this company was no longer on the upswing. Their acting owner has just called a meeting, to announce the shuttering of their original location, which somehow endured in this town, in a beleaguered, not exactly great spot, from the late 1970s up until now. And also, oh yeah, that their president, Duane Hatley, who had received the news earlier than his employees, had just chosen to tender his resignation as well.

THE HEART THAT BITES.
Lagos looked magnificent from the window she sat. The view was breathtaking and Chioma felt both thrilled and glad to have made the decision to move to the city. All her life she was confined to a one-bedroom hut on the outskirts of Nigeria, and she knew no fine buildings nor well-structured roads. All these she came across the novels that were stashed under her mattress since her room was smaller than a cubicle and lacked enough space to keep a lot of things in it. She owned very few clothes and storing them was not a grim task. Despite their unfortunate situation, her family of four children was bonded with love. They prayed, ate, sat, and told tales together. Even though they went to bed not knowing where their next meal would come from, this family of Ezeudu lived and was guided in faith. The staunch Christian home made it a routine to worship in shrines on Fridays. Every night and morning they would kneel down for prayers. There is a living and a serving God, her father would say at the end of each prayer session as he placed his hands on each one of them as a sign of blessings. The school was no issue because education was free in Annata village. Ezeudu sent all his children to study, asking them to learn as much as they could. He wished them well. Chioma was the brightest of them all, and when she was admitted to Lagos University, her father borrowed money to buy a small goat for celebrations. He slaughtered it himself and invited nearly all the villagers to join in celebrating his daughter’s brains. A small goat was barely enough to feed so many stomachs but that did not trouble Ezeudu. He asked his wife to add more water for soup purposes. And so it was known in the entire village that Chioma was leaving to start her studies at Lagos University a vastly known campus to the people of Nigeria. Indeed Ezeude had raised a brilliant girl.

The Phantom of Stage 16
The first picture I ever made was called One Glance. It was the story of a man who falls hopelessly in love with a girl after catching just one glimpse of her in a crowded train station. He didn’t know her name or anything else about her. All he’d caught was a fleeting look at her face and a brief echo of her voice, but he knew he couldn’t live without her. The movie followed his ten-year journey to find her again without knowing a thing about her. I’d always thought that the story was sappy and preposterous. I never believed that someone could truly fall in love so quickly, until the day she wandered onto Stage 16.

The Living Arc Angels Part 4. Content Warning.
(“NARRATED”) Andrea awoke early and rushed quickly to the bathroom. She flung open the door and dropped to her knees so hard she slid the rest of the way to the toilet. The feeling of losing her lunch was so intense she was forced to hold onto the tub with one hand to support herself. Concerned when he heard her throwing up, Tyler came to the bathroom and stood in the doorway. “Honey, what’s wrong?” She was unable to stop her current state long enough to answer him though. “I didn’t think that angels could get sick.” Suddenly, Andrea let out a bellowing groan and once again threw up. Only this Time the familiar bright white light shown between her hand and the tub she was holding on to. Tyler raised one eyebrow at that hand and calmly said, “Oh shit. This is going to hurt.” Seconds after the words escaped him, he was blown back across the hall and against the far wall, as the tub along with half the bathroom exploded.
