This is a story of man and time, of beasts and kings. It tells generally of man whose natural fear has been misplaced. It's a smokescreen to the blind, and a warning to crime as it tells that for everything, there is a countdown. Time has a big influence on our lives, and this is a tale of innocence, becoming a terror to evil itself.

The King is dead and an heir is present.
Toju doesn't understand why his Uncle was being crowned King instead of him. It was his birthright, something he had been groomed for his entire life.
The thought of Kingship was not always something that he had been fond of, but the idea of it being taken away from him without even a choice made him want it the more.
Join Toju in a tale of betrayal, of mystery, of magic, of truths untold.
Sometimes we have to be careful what we wish for.

When my paternal grandmother said those words to me, I was 8 years old.
When a husband was ‘found’ for me, I was 21 years old. And when I took a look at him, I knew that Afam Chibueze was not the man I wanted to marry.
Everyone wanted to know “How I was so sure”, and honestly, I did not have a perfect answer; I just did and that is how this “Guide” was born.
So, if you are like me and you are prepared to become a worthless woman – if only for a short while – but are unsure of what steps to take, then read this, it should help you.

On the day of his return, Umar received a disturbing text message from an unknown person about a gun he had hidden and a secret nobody but Umar knows about, thus blackmailing Umar to carry out the unknown person’s bidding. To be free, Umar must find the identity of his blackmailer at all costs.
A Story of time is told by two narrators. One is Umar’s best friend and the other narrates anonymously. It is also a story of other peasants of time who must learn to grow with time because time flows in the most perilous of ways; anything and anyone not moving at the rate of time will sink, fade, and die. It shows stagnation as the worst kind of death in the face of time.
A Story of Time is a storied tale of time with a lot of variations. It portrays the unparalleled beauty of time and its essence. Because nothing bears worlds, wars, and worries like time.

something to hold on to,

In the middle of a swirling storm of emotions, you'd be taken on a journey. You hold my heart in your hands, it's okay if you aren't careful, I doubt there's more to experience.
It's love, loss, identity, rejection-- the overwhelming. Only one person truly knows what was going on in my head when I wrote this.
You could try to find out, and hurt your heart in the process, because you'd see you.
