What if I died yesterday?

It’s a strange question to ask and answer while in the realm of the living, right? Story time! Yesterday night my life passed through my eyes for a second. It was around 10pm, not dark as the road is very well lit, and there was a light drizzle. I had alighted a bus and decided

Where did Eve come from: Adam’s rib or side?

All situations have the same value and consequence. An extreme/total nihilist believes in

Fast Fest! Yum!

This is what I call Eid-al-Fitr which translates to ‘feast of breaking the fast’. The ‘fast’ i.e., ramadan: It’s seriously funny to see Muslims fasting and it’s even funnier to hear Christians say eid mubarak. Basically, a people engage in two feasts a day (24 hours), for a whole month, and somehow they’ve convinced us

I’m afraid, are you?

What are you afraid of? My heart races, breathing fastens, sweat beads begin to form under my armpits, palms tremble and sweat, i can’t move but i can think, i become very alert; hyper-vigilant, and i can feel the energy surge in my body. This is what happens when fear grips me. Apparently when i’m
