Excerpts from Obialunamma: 2

Juliet brushed a dark strand of curly hair away from her face and straightened her shoulders. She stood in front of the closed door, strengthening her resolve. She’d been told what to expect. Her sweaty hands were awkwardly placed on her navy blue cotton skirt. This was a new case, and she couldn’t help feeling apprehensive after listening to Dr. Bayo.

Excerpts from Obialunamma

The disparity between Enugu metropolis and other parts of the state was more than merely obvious, even the weather was completely different. Perhaps it’s just the atmosphere in her cosy New Heaven residence that is different, she couldn’t decide, she didn’t want to; that’s not the least of her worries. Nkechi was feeling a pang of uncertainty as she drove her silver Honda accord; for having to ship the little-bad cub off to the big-mad wolf, she knew it wasn’t a good idea but it was the only available option. Last year December even with her around to keep them both on their best behaviours, the havoc was still much more than a handful. Now she was letting them loose on the people without their chain, her; but she had to, she has to make this trip. This was the biggest breakthrough in her career, the urgency of it didn’t even bother her; it’s not every day that the government offers you such opportunity.
