Three ways to kill a love
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Two sisters, one practical and full of commonsense, the other a passionate and emotional creature, an uncaring brother and his avaricious wife, a handsome rake and a faithful gentleman – these are some of the unforgettable characters who make Jane Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility such a delightful, witty and timeless classic.
Sense and Sensibility is a charming story of two sisters who see life from two very different viewpoints. When their father suddenly dies, leaving his entire estate to their half-brother John, the sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, their mother and youngest sister Margaret are thrown at the financial mercy of John and his mean-minded wife, Fanny.
Mrs Dashwood and her daughters soon realize that they are not welcome at their former home Norland Hall. Fanny's brother Edward Ferrars, who is quite different from his greedy and graceless sister, arrives and begins to form an attachment to Elinor, which is violently opposed by Fanny.
Mrs Dashwood is hurt and bewildered, but finally realizes that they have no option but to leave. They move to Devonshire, where Mrs Dashwood's cousin, Sir John Middleton welcomes them and helps them to find suitable lodgings. While out walking one rainy evening, Marianne suffers a small accident and is rescued by the suave and dashing John Willoughby. She falls passionately in love with him.
The story takes several interesting twists and turns, driven by the opposing natures of the two sisters. More than two hundred years after publication, this delightful tale still manages to capture the reader's imagination as it echoes universal truths of passion, love, social status and ethics. Sense and Sensibility is a coming of age novel, marked by Jane Austen's deliciously ironic and sharp wit and famously under-stated style that will certainly appeal to modern-day readers.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father.
After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man.
He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
After the Rain by Amaka Azie
Medical school student by day and nightclub stripper by night. When Miriam Dogo’s uncle threatens her family, she’s forced to dance at the Ozone Club. Terrified she’ll be recognized and her medical career will go up in smoke, she develops an exotic persona and wears a mask to protect her identity. But who is that man constantly in the audience, his beautiful eyes staring straight into her soul? And why can’t she stop thinking about him?
Miss Rain wears a shimmery golden mask and dances with an unparalleled sensuous grace. Surely Oya, the Yoruba goddess of weather, has come to life. Because no mere human could mesmerise Dr Segun Akintola so and make him long for things he’s run from for a lifetime. Night after night he sits there with eyes only for her. Until she disappears into thin air. And still, night after night he goes looking for her. Will he ever see her again?
The Silent Threat by Ed Agasa
Some rules are meant to be broken. Others are cages we don’t see until it’s too late.
The most sacred rule in therapy is the transference trap: the patient’s feelings are not real. They are echoes. Ghosts of old wounds. To mistake them for truth is a failure. To encourage them is malpractice.
This is not the story of a therapist who broke the rules.
This is the story of one who discovered that the rules were an illusion—a fragile shield against a truth too terrifying to face: that the room meant to be a sanctuary can become a cage. That the most dangerous person in the world does not carry a weapon. They carry insight.
The man who called himself Kyle Summers did not want to be fixed.
He did not want to be healed.
He wanted to play.
And he understood, with chilling clarity, that the most satisfying game is not played on a board, but in the mind. That the ultimate prize is not a king, but a self.
The most terrifying monsters do not hide in shadows. They sit across from you in a well-lit room. They speak softly. They listen carefully. They do not break the rules of civilized engagement—they turn them into weapons. Their violence is not of the body, but of the soul: a slow, meticulous unraveling of a person from the inside out.
This novel began with a question that still haunts me:
What happens when a healer of minds meets a master of manipulation?
When the therapist becomes the patient?
When the one place designed for safety becomes the most dangerous room in the world?
The Silent Threat is a descent into that darkness.
May it unsettle you. May it move you.
And may it remind you that some threats don’t make a sound, until it’s far too late.
--- Ed. Agasa

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Awe and exhilaration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in Lolita, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze.
Lolita is also the story of a hyper civilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America.
Most of all, it is a meditation on love-- as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.

Eve’s Fruit: Peeled and Shared....
When God created Adam, He gave him a helper, Eve, in whom Adam would find all the
good and bad, as it turned out to be. But the good was supposed to surpass and mask the bad ones since they were to live together and procreate mankind. And for Adam not to see the bad side of Eve, if there was any, God created Eve and gave her a good structure, contour lines, unmatched beauty, and figure. Look at that shape of a woman,
those lovely faces, breasts, belly “bootylicious backline” good and shapely hips that drive men crazy, those rounded legs, soft skin and to crown it all, A PLACE WHERE THE MAN IMERSES HIS MANHOOD AND FORGETS EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD.
She possesses extraordinary bodily powers and enhancements, which she skillfully uses to seduce men, persuading them to act in her favor. They are endowed with so much flesh that therein lies an incredible pleasure of the body and mind, that when a man is in there, nothing else matters to him. Whatever was in Eve; the way she appeared and behaved, and what she did, is manifested in what our women do today, to us men. Adam still loved Eve, despite her entangling his relationship with God, and as is the case now, we are obliged to continue that closeness and love, as Adam
originally did, by loving, caring, and satisfying them sexually. The short, rounded, big buttocked women, the sweeter they are sexually and the more fuckable they are and look- In Kisii language they call it oboteteko, in Kikuyu Language –Niorekana, in Kalenjin language Kumoksei and in Luhya Language -Okhukhundwa. They are generally regarded as instantly attractive to the eye of a man and more so if she has a dark complexion with the added advantage of white eyes, as they say in the Kisii language, “amaiso emori engare” meaning eyes like those of a young calf(white): probably a week old or so. These short stout and dark ladies have cut a niche for themselves among menrounded legs, plump and always looking sexy and
also looking for sex. That way they walk like they are looking for it. I understand they give men a run for their money in bed because they are stocky and more compact in the vagina.

Captivity is one of the biggest achievements that a writer should rejoice in whenever their story masters it. For a story to be a masterpiece, the reader should be captivated to the point of not wanting to stop reading while wishing the story should not end.
This is what Kendi Karimi’s story has done to me. Rather than call ‘Our Brief Heavenly Hour’ a short story, it would fit perfectly as a ‘Personal Letter’.
“Kendi, you have a deep-rooted philosophical soul that is unparalleled in verse! Your poetic style is quite unique.”

2) A person’s undoing
3) Joshua Templeman
Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual.
Trapped in a shared office together 40 (OK, 50 or 60) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. There’s the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking.
If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. If she loses, she’ll resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth-shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong.
Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.
