Experience of a War Correspondent

My career as a war correspondent was on Spring but my life seeming closer to its ultimate end. Like I kept on discovering what I signed up for. But in the middle of a full-blown war, there’s no turning back. It was the 9th of July, after series of gruesome battles consisting of heavy artilleries like I’ve never iconographed. The red coats finally drove those yellow monsters out of these bordering communities, it was a quick retreat. My heart could finally rest just a while before another moribund experience. Left by these monsters was ruin of humanity. Upon reclaiming our lost grounds, we met the remains of a collision of helpless civilians with wild animals.
They tortured civilians in many villagers, nailed lots on barn doors. In a farmland, just further down the road stood a cart to which 3 naked women were nailed through their hands like a crucifix. I almost threw up, but beyond we found a total of 67 women and an old man murdered in such bestial manner. Exceptions were those who had bullet holes in different parts of their bodies.
Every female including those as young as 11 had been raped, old men trying to save their loved ones were if not sawed into 2 were cut into bits. Hidden in a wardrobe laid an infant probably months old, a bullet hole on her head; blood everywhere. On streets road, you could pick up human meat squashed by military tankers. The few survivors found in sewage tanks and gutters were horrified by their ordeals of hell on earth. These crackled bulging eyes needed reasons to thrust in humanity before they pop.

Review of Children of Blood and Bone

Reading Children of Blood & bone . The narrative & descriptions felt so real. Whenever I got lost in a fantasy world of panthenaires, lionaires, maji, kosidans and magic I never wanted leave. Those moments felt like I lived the fiction & I wanted no escape. "Kwame brushes past me, running for the heart of the battle. He grips a dagger tight in his hands. Then he slashes open his palm. Blood magic. Horror settles into my bones. It’s like the world slows to a stop, stretching the seconds between this moment and the last Kwame will ever have. His blood glows with a white light, splashing as it hits the ground. In an instant the ivory light surrounds him, illuminating his dark skin like a god from above. When it reaches the top of his head, it seals his fate. A fire explodes from his skin. Smoldering embers rain from his body. Flames blaze around his form. The fire erupts from every limb, shooting out of his mouth, his arms, his legs. The blast towers meter...

NYSC Post Camp Experience

A little prattle to all those white fouls that have just been displaced from camp.  The 1st few weeks after camp could be the most difficult and also a defining period. Some will just walk into their PPA, receive their acceptance letter and even enjoy 2 weeks hols. While some will just go there and get rejected straight away. Some others will be told to go and come back the next day and the next and the next to nauseating extremes until they luckily accept or to your agony reject you. While some will even go and discover their PPA doesn't exist. There'll sure be some that'll will be posted to 1 useless PPA that they're not paying or doing anything and will have to beg for rejection. Amongst these ones, some will be rejected, others wouldn't. Then amongst these corpers, some will just go home and not know what to do with their lives apart from eating and sleeping. While some might even go to lengths such as paying for rejection.

FEELINGS OF FICTION

You make me feel good, I get over 'overwhelms' but never to the feelings of your touch I'll pull you close show you how love feels Hours turning to seconds My mind in chaos Yet these moments feel like heaven You always know what I need Read my silence and there's a warm hug I take the weights off with you within arms Feel a little tipsy watching you pretty smile so stellar Stars from your gaze cruise me wonderland You say love ain't simple Sure it isn't, there is no 'simple define' the feeling when you smile Sure there's no mountain, there's none too steep like the race of my heart Maybe is just love for the feeling I wake up and reality seems like a dream with you beside A disease without no cure There's just one word for this feeling It's FICTION
