My Random Stories

It was a sunny Thursday afternoon as I walked down the streets of Nairobi. I was super happy, I just got paid and I was heading to the bank. It was my first job and this was my first paycheck. Now I could save money and move out of my parents house. My father was asking for rent for living in his house. My lady was also on my case. She started working a year ago, now she feels rich and wants a man who can maintain her status. Mr. Joakim was going to be happy to know his investment would not go to waste. He told me to work somewhere else and depending on my progress he would offer me a chance to play with the 'big boys of accounting in Nairobi' My life looked like it was taking an upturn for the best. Nothing could go wrong. "Kijana wapi pesa?" "Kijana nakuongelesha." I was still dazed. I tried recollecting myself. "Sijaibia mtu. Hizo ni pesa zangu." "Angalia receipt niko nayo kwa mfuko." The clever bastards had even tak

Its cold, I am trying to breathe, but every gulp of air I breathe is followed by a sudden gush of water. How did I get here? What exactly happened? Is this a dream? The sun was shining. The smell of the salty ocean. The sound of the waves beating on the coral reefs. I was looking forward to our trip. I had planned it for months as a way of trying to build a connection with her. She did not talk, she just stared blankly as I parked the car. "Listen, am sorry. I was hoping this trip would allow us to patch up and think about us." She did not even flinch. I swallowed a huge load of saliva as I opened my door and went to the boot to remove our bags. She continued her daze, I almost felt like she had become a zombie. I wanted us to have fun, but I predicted a gloomy vacation. I wished we could turn back and forget everything. My mom was the one who advised me to organize the trip. Nothing can beat a mother's instinct. She got out of the car, dragging her feet and op

She stood there. She scratched her scruffy hair. She was hungry and sweaty. She rummaged through the trash bin hoping to find something to cheat her stomach with. If she still had it she could be scuffing down a hot meal or a milkshake at Java. Life in the cold Nairobi streets was tough. People never had time for her antics and the County Council askaris were always on her. The beasts had the courage to ask her for sex so that she could not go to jail. She had many challenges, but her main goal was to find the old woman. She was the one responsible for her misfortune. Why did she have to do this? She had done nothing wrong. So why was she paying for something she had not done. The sun blazed. Her hunger was intense. She tried going to a restaurant to beg for even bones, but she was chased and blamed for driving away the customers. She found a cold pavement and sat. She tucked her knees near her chest. She tried to cry but she did not have the strength to shed a tear. "G

Its funny how those not in relationships know so much. They have the best advice and solution for any arising issue in another person's relationship. If they are asked why they are not in a relationship, they have the best excuse. "I am not ready for a relationship." "I have not found my perfect,match." "I am still waiting and searching for my perfect match." "I have not yet found someone worthy to love." "I am not ready for the pain and stresses of a relationship." "I want to finish my studies." "I am concentrating in my career." "I just came from a relationship and it did not work well." People let us stop lying to ourselves. We can love , the most important thing is to love yourself first. The moment you find your inner love, another person will be able to love you. Like I said earlier, people not in relationships give the best advice. I have never been in a relationship, but

He stood on the rocks waiting. The water flowed smoothly and he could make out shadows of fish looking for a meal or swimming against the current. Thoughts raced his mind like a bugatti at 407 miles per hour. He was scared that their plan might have backfired. "Was he caught? What about the money? Did he sell me out?" Tension built between him running to save his skin or waiting for him to arrive. Suddenly he heard the bush behind him move. He was startled and he cocked his gun ready to fire. He tried to breathe slowly because he knew if he was uneasy it would be hard to aim. A beautiful lady emerged with a pot singing to herself. He hid his gun and said halo "Haloo" "Halo, what are you doing by the stream alone?" "Just thinking. Being a man requires one to meditate on how to move on in life. I am sorry if I scared you" "Not at all. I have never seen you before? Are you from around here?" "No. I have just com

The night was filled with cheers and screams for the models who graced the runway. It was Wednesday, the 16th day of October 2013, and the Academics Committee of Daystar University was crowning Academics week in Athi River Campus with a fashion show.  It was one of the most anticipated shows of the week. The venue was the school's amphitheatre. Acrobats were the first act to crown the stage. Men dressed in leopard leotards were throwing each other around making the crowd capture their breath, cheering whenever they completed a stunt. People were trickling in as Nyawera and Timo (the Master and Mistress of Ceremony) were hyping those already in. DJ Slouch kept the crowd on their feet with pumping new songs. During transitions they were perfomances such as singing, rapping, spoken word, and presentation of awards to people who had contributed to the show's success. The judges of the event were Mr. and Mrs. Daystar, Mr. and Mrs. Peace. They based their judgment on dressing

Hahahahahaha...........Really? Before going to the University, I studied in college for a year. It is not that I had failed, I had no other option and my father did not want me to stay idle. I studied law, but I learnt more about life than class. I had two friends, ladies to be exact. Both of them were beautiful, but I liked one more than  the other. She was short, light skinned and very pretty. The other was chocolate skinned, tall and a model. I had been friends with the despite the fact that we were different in every aspect of life. I was timid, shy and loved keeping to myself. They were loud (in a good way), outgoing and always ready with juicy stories about what they did the previous night. The lady I am talking about started talking to me at the second week of school. I was shocked that she approached me. I started asking myself if it was real and occasionally pinched myself to make sure I was not dreaming. She asked me to walk with them as they went home. She also en

During my freshman year I met a lovely lady. She was light skinned and her figure looked like a curved sculpture. It was like God took more time to create her. I used to compliment her and we became friends. However, because of my timid nature I did not express my love for her (I am still questioning myself  what would have happened if she was by my side right now). I had decided to live my life without regrets, but I guess we cannot all be perfect. Her beauty was out of this world. Whenever I saw her I would stammer. At times I would say things that would put her off. I would walk behind her and be amazed by her rocking hips (and like any other man have 'visions'). Her chest was bursting out from the tight bras she wore. If my university allowed some dressings, I would have died a wonderful death because of her radiance. I always dreamt of her, and always said hi whenever I could. She sort of knew it and like most of the ladies today pretended she was not interested.

"Hey baby, I love you and no one will ever separate us." I looked at Vanessa and smiled. We have been together for one year and created a bond that cannot be explained. Many have tried to come between us and have failed, but a new threat had arrived. This threat was real and Vanessa was not too happy about it. Vanessa and I met one year ago. When I saw her I gleamed. Never in my life had I seen such beauty. I came to know her that very day. They were others waiting in line, but choosing Vanessa was one of the most wisest decisions I have ever made. A lot of people have said it is not natural what we have. They started blaming me because I spend more time with her than myself. However, I had grown cold and refused to listen. Worse still is that even my own mother has tried to separate us, to no avail. I chose Vanessa because she came to me at the lowest point in my life. She made me smile and feel happy when all others had failed. She consoled me and listened to my pro
