The sky above the school pitch was a vast ocean of fire-orange clouds, swirled with the promise of blood and glory. Cheers and screams sounded like war horns. Chants echoed across the field. And for the first twenty five minutes, the SSS-3 students ruled the pitch.

And their king? Prime boy, once more.

Muscles rippling, headband fluttering like a war banner, he bulldozed through SSS-2 midfield like a titan with no chains. His every touch set off a roar. His passes - surgical. His dribbles - d

  • Off to a good start?

    As they turned the corner, a fiery figure emerged, her feet pounding the ground in rhythmic anger. Nnenna’s eyes blazed with a mix hurt and indignation as she confronted Agaba. “Why did you ignore me this morning?” she demanded, her voice trembling with emotion. “Did I mean nothing to you?” Agaba’s expression darkened, his anger and frustration simmering just below the surface. Nnenna’s ire began to dissipate, replaced by concern for the boy she cared about. Ahmed, meanwhile, sensed that something was amiss, that Agaba’s hyperactivity was a thin veil for the turmoil brewing within. Nnenna’s voice softened, her words infused with a gentle sweetness. “I’m sorry, Agaba. I didn’t mean to upset you. You’re my friend, and I care about you”. her hand reached out, cradling the back of Agaba’s head in a tender gesture. The tension began to dissipate, replaced by an awkward silence. Jordan and Ahmed exchanged surprised glances. Ahmed’s eyes narrowed, a spark of jealousy igniting within. He

  • The Unlikely Hero

    As Agaba stepped onto school grounds, he spotted Ahmed pacing anxiously beside his desk. The moment their eyes met, Ahmed sprinted towards Agaba, grasping his arm with an air of urgency. “Come on, we need to talk!” Ahmed exclaimed, nearly dragging Agaba away.“Hey, slow down! What’s got you so worked up?” Agaba asked, trying to shake off Ahmed’s grip.“Did you see the news?” Ahmed’s voice trembled with concern.Agaba’s expression turned somber.“Yeah, it’s crazy. My neighbor was even possessed! He almost attacked Nneka and her mom”. Ahmed’s eyes widened. “Is Nnenna okay?”Agaba teased, “Oh, you’re worried about her, huh? Looks like someone’s got feelings!”Ahmed’s face flushed. “Shut up, werey! I just care about her as a friend”. Agaba chuckled, then turned serious. “We need to investigate what’s going on. Twenty people died in one night - we can’t let that happen again. Let’s sneak out during break and scout the town for any leads on these beasts”. Ahmed’s confusion gave way to det

  • Dilemma

    The two men stepped out into the night, leaving Nnenna and Nneka alone in the parlour. Ochekawo’s eyes burned with a sense of destiny as he spoke to Agaba. “Son, fate has entrusted us with a burden that spans generations. We must act, or risk losing everything we hold dear. You know the consequences of inaction”. Agaba’s jaw set in determination. “I’m ready, father. We must act now, before it’s too late”. But Ochekawo’s expression turned grim. “The problem is, we don’t know where these monsters are hiding. They’re like ghosts, striking without warning”. Agaba’s mind was already racing strategies. “We’ll start searching, then. We’ll leave no stone unturned until we find them”. But Ochekawo’s response caught Agaba off guard. “Son, I want you to stay out of this. Your mother needs you by her side. We don’t know what these demons are capable of, and I won’t risk losing you. Look at what happened to Nnenna’s father - we can’t let that happen to our loved ones”. Agaba’s face darkened,

  • A World of Tragedy

    Mama Nnenna’s frantic voice echoed through the kitchen, “It’s my husband, something has taken hold of him!” As she watched Ochekawo rush out of the kitchen, Agaba burst in with Nnenna by his side.“What’s happening here?” Agaba demanded, his eyes scanning the chaotic scene.“Go upstairs, quickly! Your father needs your help to subdue Nnenna’s father. He’s under some kind of dark influence!” his mother urged.Agaba’s eyes widened in alarm. “What!”Nnenna rushed to her mother’s side, relief washing over her face as she saw her mother was alive. Her mother’s tears of joy were a stark contrast to the horror that had unfolded.Meanwhile, Ochekawo was halfway up the stairs when Nneka’s father came stumbling down, his eyes vacant, his clothes stained with blood, and a knife clutched in his hand. Ochekawo’s whisper was laced with a mix of fear and determination. “This is the work of a demon”.“Mr. Chinwe, please, drop the knife. Let’s talk this through”, Ochekawo coaxed.But Agaba knew bette

  • Danger next door

    Meanwhile, in a humble abode, Agaba’s father walked through the door, exhausted from a long day’s work. But before he could even greet his family, Agaba approached him with a troubled expression. “Dad, I met one today”, he said, his voice laced with concern.Agaba’s mother chastised him, “is that how you greet your father after he’s worked hard all day? You should have waited”.But Agaba’s father waved her aside, his curiosity piqued. “What did they look like? How did you encounter it?” he asked, his eyes locked intensely on his son.As Agaba recounted his harrowing encounter, Ochekawo’s anxiety and fear intensified, his mind racing with the dire implications. “this is spiraling out of control”, he thought, his inner turmoil deepening. “We still haven’t located their stronghold, and now they’re creating human puppets? We need to act swiftly, or risk losing this battle incrementally”.Ochekawo’s thoughts swirled in a maelstrom of concern, rendering him oblivious to his wife’s gentle su

  • The Dark Church

    As the robber-infernox burst through the foreboding gates, he was met with resistance from the hulking guardians of the inner sanctum. “let me pass!” he implored, his voice laced with desperation.The guardian, a towering figure with eyes that blazed like hot coals, sneered at the robber-demon. “Why should I grant you an audience with Ochenteji?” he taunted, his voice dripping with disdain.Undeterred, the robber-demon stood tall, his voice unwavering. “I possess information of the utmost importance, gleaned from the shadowy alleys. Information that could prove invaluable to our lord, Ochenteji”The guardian snorted, his ridicule biting. “what secrets could a lowly street thief like yourself possibly uncover? You’re nothing but a flea on the underbelly of our great kingdom, look at you, you look like someone that have been starving for 4 centuries(he laughed hard)”.The air was electric with tension as the robber-infernox’s anger simmered, threatening to boil over. “you dare mock me?
