My name is Jibade Johnson, and this is my account of how Uju was rescued. I had been distracted for a bit these days. Not because I wasn’t happy about Uju’s pregnancy, cause I was. I just could not quite put my finger on it, but I was disturbed about something, and it didn’t make…

Illusion pt. 8: Finale
You should have seen my face when Kefe walked into the room. I looked at him smugly, I was so pleased. I knew that Jibade would come for me and he would understand enough to bring help. But now I understand what it means to count your chickens before they are hatched. He looked so…
Illusion pt. 7: Confrontation
You know how everyone exaggerates when then say the world came crashing. Right now I’m not sure how much of an exaggeration it is. I feel like everything is falling apart and I can’t even reach out to catch any of the pieces. What is going on here??? “Don’t jump to conclusion Uju, slow down…
Illusion pt. 6: Suspicions
“What do you mean by you think he’s dead, go see the doctor” I urged Boma “He is, I’m sure, I’m sorry, I just can’t believe it.” “I’m on my way.” There really wasn’t much I could do when I got there except try to comfort his weeping mother and promise to visit. Turns out…

Illusion pt. 3 (novelette)
As I drive to work, I try to remember anything suspicious about Kefe. I can’t help it. I know I should love and trust him and I do. Truth is, I have never felt more connected to anyone else except Jidenna. I just want to know what’s going on and if he hasn’t told me…
Illusion pt. 2 (novelette)
I know how this looks I don’t snoop, I really don’t. I don’t check Kefe’s phone or messages, and I don’t believe he’s cheating on me. I trust my gut that much. This was really an accident. All I wanted was to get a little work done before I have to go into the office,…
Illusion pt. 1 (novelette)
Everyone wants to be loved, to be cared for, to be special to someone and I am no exception. Perhaps even more so for me because of what I have experienced. A few years ago, I probably would never admit it. I would have said that I am merely rational, and the power of love…
