(1 )FAST MONEY FAST FALL

 Woke up one Tuesday morning not knowing how I was going to pay for transportation to work. 


The name is Nii, and it all happened on Monday at 5 am when I was getting ready for work. I had a call about a deal I've been talking to a friend about for the whole month. It was a fast and clean deal which was supposed to double the amount I invested in 24 hours.


Because of how clean I thought the deal was, I was blinded to its loopholes. Just after a month of meeting Bonne, an old schoolmate I haven't spoken to in years. He called me one day and spoke about this deal that his friends have been doing with one Alhaji called Banda. The deal was simple: all you had to do was supply money to some unknown individuals in Ghana and you would make a huge profit, which is almost double the amount you gave out. 


At first, I didn't believe him because it's been a while since we spoke, and secondly, I just met the guy. But later on, he told me he wanted to visit, which I agreed to. He came  with two other friends, whom I haven't seen in a while . I was very excited to see them that day and we had an extensive conversation about school and life , so in the conversation bonney brought up the deal he spoke to me about which my other two friends confirmed about how authentic the deal was and how they all built their houses with its profits and they still are involved in it.  because of how confident and convincing they were with pictures and video evidence, i started to believe them and bought into the business. 


I started planning towards it for about a month because it involved a lot of money, I scrapped out all my savings from my account and my physical savings just to meet the money Alhaji demanded ,not knowing I was falling into something i would regret for the rest of my life.

Thursday, July 24, 2025. Oops! Family Secrets. Sunday lunch at Nana Agnes’ house was supposed to be peaceful. The smell of light soup drifted through the half-open windows. Outside, chickens clucked lazily in the dust while inside, the Osei family did what they did best and that was to pretend everything was fine. Ama fussed over the table setting, lining up mismatched spoons and folding napkins into neat triangles. She had spent all morning scrubbing the living room so the relatives wouldn’t see the truth peeking out from under the furniture... that under the shine, everything was held together with tape and prayers. Kofi, her older brother, was stretched out on the couch, scrolling through football scores, ignoring Ama’s dagger looks. He knew exactly when to be useless, and Sunday lunch was always his time to shine. Nana Agnes, eighty years old and still sharper than any knife in the house, sat at the head of the table in her ancient cane chair. She watched Ama pace and sighed. F...

Day 1(Monday 7th July,2025) Title : The Sunset That Changed Everything. #Love and Regret. "They said the world ends at sunset... but for him, it ended the day he lost her."  They said the world would end at sunset.       No explosions, no meteors, just endless darkness. A scientist called it "The Final Eclipse". People panicked, confused, confessed secrets, danced, and prayed. Some made peace; others just waited.       Miles sat on his rooftop, staring at the burning horizon, the sky bleeding into orange, red, and violet. His biggest regret? Losing Ivy, the woman he never dared to fight for. His phone buzzed....  Hook up yourself for Day 2😘 A message from the one he lost, and the world is running out of time 😔. Question for the day. * If the world ended today, what would your biggest regret be 😔? Tuesday 8th July,2025 Day 2 # End of the world romance  His phone buzzed...a message from her.  "If this is really goodbye... I forgive...

 July 07, 2025 THE LAST MANGO 🥭  In a quiet village nestled among green hills, mango trees stood like proud guardians of the land. Every home had one, their branches heavy with sweet, golden fruit when the season was right. Abena's favorite tree grew at the edge of her grandmother's old farm. It was planted the day Abena was born, and every year since, it had gifted her the juiciest and most fragrant mangoes. But this year was different. The rains had come late and left early. The earth cracked. Leaves browned. The villagers murmured that the trees were resting, weary from strange weather. By the end of the season, all the mangoes were gone, except one. High on Abena's tree, a single golden mango cling to it's branch, refusing to fall. Day after day, Abena visited the tree. She watched, waited and wondered why that one mango remained. Her younger brother, Kofi, tried to climb the trunk but slid down with a laugh. "Maybe it's waiting for you," he said. ...
