Magical Poetry Form — “Incantation”

Empty Incantations

The Story of a Fallen King — Sometimes it's like if I get into an accident for real, I'd be nonchalant through it. ~ Yasky Shortly after dropping the phone call, I enter a bus. “Ojuelegba, Stadium, Barracks, Costain!!!”, the bus conductor yells out, announcing the route this bus plies to prospective passengers. “Stadium?” “Maabo” …beckoning me…

A [de]Bugging Story

A Tale of Duck Typing — A developer stood across my desk with a perplexed look in his eyes. That look when a man hears he cannot get married to the woman of his dreams because it’s against his tradition. That look when you watch a football striker miss a shot on goal from six yards…
