Dust Of Yesterday

By -

















Written by Lillian Ugwu 
If only she had known
What today would hold
Like a dust it all wiped
Hardly can she recollect anymore
Could it be that she is empty?
Her world now in isolation
Confusion, hers to feed on
Endless aching unconsoled
Causing her to unravel, falling to her knees
Panting heavily
Intimidated by fear
Crossroads unreachable
Possibilities like  blur reflections
Though she cherishes the quick intervals
Of the evergreen blissful memories 
Unhappy burden still dwells rough
Dust of yesterday, a sordid parasite
An awful wreckage of depression
Causing a brain disaster
Deepening sea of nowhereness.

I used to be on radio and it gave me the opportunity to create the platform I needed, even though I didn't take it very seriously. I always read scripts while on radio and corrected a few stuff here and there. But after a while I decided to pick one, either radio or film. It was a tough one, being that I had built an audience that I would miss on radio, but then ...

The Shadow Encounter

Written by Peace Eneja It was cold that night. The harmattan had gotten intense. If I wasn't in Nigeria, I would be expecting a snow fall. My ribs shaking ,the same movement as my lips. I was shivering at a corner, praying that I lay my hand on something, anything at all that I could use to keep myself warm. I was alone in the dark, in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't even tell what I was doing there. Then suddenly I saw a tree moving closer like a masquerade towards me.  Oh! That's funny, because trees don't have legs, so why would they move...sorry walk?  For a moment, I thought it wasn't real, it shouldn't be. Then I closed my eyes so tight, hoping that it was just a dream, that it'll soon go away. Then I opened them again, it was still there, as real as day light, right in front of me. Then I started to run as fast as I could, throwing my legs away...sorry my shoes. But it was still chasing me, right here and there. I couldn't outrun it. ...

Right on the way I was extremely pressed, and I had been managing but, this time I couldn't... I had to stop driving. I packed my car at one side of the road and opened my car door. Then I squatted at one side of the road, almost about to release H20 turned urine, I noticed a small sized Car packed few meters away, apparently Someone was doing the same thing I yearned for, only for one odd thing.    ***She was already bent to do her business when I saw a man behind her with a matchete in his hands about to strike.
