Pen and paper


#678

When I was growing up I loved writing. I wasn't good at it though. I loved reading as well, but I would take decades to finish a story book of hare and hyena. Many children during our time didn't believe in reading story books. 

They believed that there was more to life than sitting down and throwing your afternoon to waste, reading why a snake has no waist. I would get distracted and whenever I had my reading moods back, the book would be no longer as interesting.

As I grew up and learnt a few new things I realized I could tell romantic stories quite well. I wrote a story about highschool lovers. I don't remember the tittle I gave it, but I remember they met at a bus stop on a closing day when it was heavily raining.

 The story was so awesome and captivating that it got attention from quite a number of classmates. Mixed reactions came in the sad ending of the story where I killed the beautiful lady and as if that was not enough  buried her in a black coffin and forced her boyfriend to be watering the flowers on her grave each day. I don't know whether he stopped, I'm sorry for him. I hope he healed...

When I was in college I realized I could write better and decided to create a platform to be exploiting my writing potential. I didn't have a good name in mind so I named it pro and it became Prodigital. 

I want to write more. I want to hammer more words into amazing anecdotes. I want to mould words to make meaning. I want to tell stories. I want to hear your story and I want to tell you mine. What have you experienced ? At my disposal is a pen and a paper. 

We are together in this, ain't we?

Have you a spine tingling story ? Share it with us. We'll share it with the world in whichever way you want it to be known.

  3. Exactly what I was telling you about.
    But now I'm curious, how was that story of the dead girlfriend in black casket.
    When I was in school, we were given an assignment of a dream I had. I wrote a horror story the teacher called my mum to school to ask here whether I was okay? 😂

Ariel studies Chemistry, but is also a footballer who retired prematurely because of a bad knee. A knee that chose chemistry over football. He is a farmer during long holidays. He keeps chicken and milk his father’s cow on a good day. On a bad day he goes to a nearby dusty arena to play football, to see if his knee could have possibly changed its idea about chemistry. Ten minutes into the  game he becomes a living testimony that his knees were actually meant to stand long hours in the chemistry lab doing tests and mixing chemicals to see colour changes, precipitates and what have you that don’t excite me. He is a vocabulary expert and a story teller. He is a fitness aficionado. He is a brother and a son. I can’t prove that he is a boyfriend but I can prove beyond any limits that in the past 7 days he has eaten chapatti at least thrice.  He's authored   THE FAMILY MAN ,   WHAT I WANT , GRIP REAPER ,  J'S COCUNUTS just to mention a handful.

The Torque Talk Episode 5 (KIA Sorento)

KIA Sorento 2025 could be cheaper than the 2024 model by Mandla Lubanzi Image by: Motor1 Mid last month, Kia revealed the pricing and details for the 2025 Sorento Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid, both of which have received the same updates as the 2024 pure combustion model. Unsurprisingly, prices have increased compared to last year—quite significantly in some instances. However, there's an unexpected twist. The base price of the new Sorento plug-in hybrid is actually lower than it was. This is because a new entry-level trim has been released. The plug-in hybrid's base price, which includes a $1,375 shipping charge, is now $49,365 for the EX model. This preserves the same hybrid drivetrain with 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it comes with a $2,300 lower starting MSRP than the model from the previous year. In summary, it has a 14-kilowatt-hour battery pack, a single electric motor, and a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The 2025 Sorento has a 30-mile ele...
