A Wonderful World

Vincent Evhade

Sinopse

A Wonderful World! You cannot tell the particular broomstick that will kill a fly neither can you know the food that is sweet by merely looking at it. You cannot judge people by their present situation in life as long as they are still breathing. But like many people, this is the fundamental mistake that Mr Giwa Smart, Utaina Ekugbe's teacher, makes in this story. He makes Utaina feel as if he is less than a human being. But in truth, no parent can be proud of Utaina's achievements. Even Utaina is ashamed of himself. But then, fate enters into the situation. In spite of Utaina’s miserable situations and Mr Giwa Smart's evil character, how they can both agree that this indeed is a wonderful world at the end of this story, which is full of shocking twists and adventure, is simply incredible! This story, which is about the transitional life and self-discovery of Utaina as he goes through his own share of challenges in life, also highlights the Okpameri culture and history in an exciting way.

The Greedy Dog

Paul A. Lynch

In a village lived a dog. He was a lovable but rather a greedy canine, always on the lookout for the next tasty morsel. His eyes would gleam with excitement at the mere scent of food, and he couldn't resist the allure of a delicious treat. 
One sunny day, as it roamed the village in search of his next culinary adventure, he caught wind of a mouthwatering aroma wafting from a nearby butcher’s shop. Unable to resist the temptation, it followed his nose until he reached the source—a display of succulent meat, neatly arranged in the shop window. 
Unable to contain his greed, it stood on his hind legs, his front paws resting against the window. His eyes fixated on the tantalizing array of meats, and his mouth watered at the sight. In a moment of pure impulsivity, it decided to snatch a large, juicy bone from the window display. It was a ham bone, and it was his favourite meat.

Crying Meadows

Avery Goode

The grass is greener on the darker side …

The grass is greener at Lush Meadows Golf and Country Club these days but that was not always the case. When Preston and Amy Meadows inherited the club, it was in shambles and so was their relationship. By happenstance, Amy discovers a solution that not only saved the club but her marriage as well. Under the guise of her foundation, Meadows Mission, Amy facilitated a program that lessened the homeless population, while simultaneously building up the club. Together, Amy and Preston reclaim their position in Atlanta’s high society as southern aristocracy.

But something isn’t right at the club and the answer is blowing in the wind.

Former police detective, Blayke Ladd, who now runs Off the Street Shelter, suspects Meadows Mission is engaging in unethical business practices the reason they report such a high success rate. However, he has witnessed the change in some of the clients that he referred to the program and cannot discount the organization’s legitimacy. But when a client asks for a recommendation to the program, he agrees reluctantly.

Jasmine Aster is not only a client of Blayke’s, but also a woman he has come to care about. After she is offered a lucrative position at the country club, he is filled with mixed emotions. All is well for the beautiful landscaping engineer until she befriends a woman who has damning information that can destroy the Meadowsempire in less time than it took to build it. The woman needs help and the only person Jasmine trusts enough to help her is, Blayke. While Jasmine and Blayke work hard to uncover the deception, Amy works vigilantly to conceal the truth.

The southern belle will do anything to maintain the lifestyle she was born into and save her life, even at the expense of someone else’s.

Targeted by Fate

Colbie Dunbar, Lorelei M. Hart

If wrong place, wrong time was a person, it would be me. 
 
I was the king of it. As a child, I stepped into our garage moments before it was hit by lightning and lost my sense of smell. When I was a student, I walked in on a classmate changing their grades moments before they were caught, resulting in my expulsion. After my first real job promotion, I went to dinner to celebrate and saw my boss cheating on his husband with his personal assistant and I got fired. 
 
And now? Now I'm in the worst place of all: behind a dumpster as someone is murdered. If I get caught, it won't be as simple as finding a new school or another position, I'll be dead. So what do I do? I shift into my cat form and crawl underneath the dumpster, hoping for the best. 
 
If "the best" is one of the murderers coming over and telling me I need to come with him, that is. I go. I should be scared, petrified even, but I'm not. Instead, I jump right into his arms and start purring. What is wrong with my cat?
