This Nigga
by Abubakar Elbasha This Nigga… Is the reason behind my crusade against stupidity, every time he comes around he makes everyone in his vicinity uncomfortable like a sudden rise in humidity.

37 Days
by Naji Mansour It’s Day 7, All I ever wanted to do was good.. Not because I had to but because I always thought I should. If I could be, I’d be that hero to humanity. You know, the one that’d bring some kind of sanity to a world otherwise plagued with emptiness and vanity.…
