Anybody home?... (NOT A SHORT STORY)





Helloooo people.
I'm trying not to shout here. Lol. I trust you've all been good. Big thanks to everyone that kept in touch in my absence, even though most of the keeping in touch was to ask when the next series would be out. I just wanted to enjoy the 'blogger's vac' I gave myself, and to be honest, I've had so much fun.

I know I've been away for more than I planned and more than most people would have wanted (3 months or thereabout), but trust me, it seems like yesterday. Okay, I'm just kidding. I've been having fun reading other short stories by amazing writers everywhere. I could hook you up with blog addresses if you want. (wink).
I've also hidden under the cloak of 'I-want-the next-story-to-be-completely-typed-and-edited-before-I-publish-so-that-my-readers-won't-get-angry-when-I-delay-in-posting-new-episodes'.

It's time to come out plain and let you on a little secret. This 'excuse' has helped my laziness and I'm done being lazy. The little secret is that most times, we (most writers of short stories) don't have the entire story written down somewhere, and the fun in posting these stories in episodes is that we also anticipate (along with our readers) what the next episode would bring. There! Now you know! We also go through the whole 'suspense/shivers/eye-popping/can't-wait-to-know-what-would-happen-next' moments while we type each episode. We sometimes get inspired to twist the story a little bit while typing a new episode. It all adds to the fun, and I would lose that if I type the entire story before publishing, as there would be nothing to look forward to on my part.

That being said, there's a new series coming soon, pretty soon. I'm battling with the title but I'll sort out all issues relating to the title this weekend.
Like they say in all these movies: (***insert title of new series) COMING SOON!!! WATCH OUT!!!... Lol.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Have a fabulous weekend.

P.S: It feels so wonderful to have my picture at the beginning of a post. Lol.

Cheers, people!

Faith

weTalk! (Thin Lines:1)

Hello blog fam. Trust we've all been doing well. Let me start by thanking you all for your amazing support and devotion to this blog. I'm truly inspired, motivated, and encouraged to write more. The feedback from the last short story series 'Chasing Shadows' has been mind blowing. Tons of comments from different quarters (plus the comments I bullied  some people into dropping... lol. (don't mind me. Your comments inspire me. I need that inspiration, so bear with me if I force the inspiration out of you, literally)) have requested a second part to the story. Many people think the story shouldn't end that way. I'm done fighting the urge not to write a part 2 of 'Chasing Shadows'. So, I guess it will be safe for me to tell y'all to anticipate a second part to the story. In the meantime, I want us to go back to our 'weTalk' series, which I started in April 2015. It's basically short stories raising pertinent issues that affect everyone

Chasing Shadows (Episode 9): Finale

“ You have to tell her the whole truth. I’m sure about this one, okay? She deserves to know…” *Pause* “I’m praying for you, son, like I’ve always done. You know that is the only thing that has kept me going…” His mother’s words rang in his head. He could still feel her gentle squeeze on his shoulders, and the softness of her voice as she prayed for him. He was such a mess all through the week. He decided to get his act together before driving to Lagos that Saturday. He had visited his mother the Friday night before and told her about the call from Sade’s mother. She had smiled in a weird but calm way when he told her. There were so many things he was still trying to figure out in his life, especially what his family had done to deserve series of misfortune. But above all, his mother’s calmness was the one thing he couldn’t figure out. It was not just the prayers and relationship with God that she claimed to draw her strength from. He found it hard to believe that anyone

Hello everyone. I want to use this medium to appreciate everyone that has followed this story from the very beginning till now. The support and encouragement through comments (on various platforms) have been superb. Thank you so much. Please brace yourself for this final episode. It's a long read, but I'm sure you would enjoy every bit of it. Feel free to share with friends, and don't forget to leave your comments after the read. See you all on the next blog post. .... Faith Tunde-Yara The Previous Day "Wait, Tade..." Sewa said at the top of her voice once they were out of the compound. He had been dragging her for some time now, and although she was scared of this new person in her bestie's skin, she couldn't take it anymore. They both had to think logically at this point, and it was obvious Tade was not in his right senses. Tade suddenly became conscious of himself and the hurt he was causing Sewa. He released his hold on her and began to
