                                                   DIMENSIONS 3       After the last anonymous phone call, Tosin does not have any idea what to expect. He is absolutely certain that it has to be something unpleasant that the anonymous caller is leading him to and even though he pretends to himself that he is brave enough to find out, he knows deep inside that all of it is just a charade. He also wonders the role of the anonymous caller and why he deems it fit everytime to contact him to give him information on anything. The trend all along has been ‘Chuka’, ‘Tosin’ and nothing else. Thus far, it has been all about bad news so he gives Mr Anonymous a nickname, “Bearer Of Bad News!”   The time for the latest discovery of more bad news is here. He prepares but just an hour to the stipulated time, he gets a text message containing just three words that change everything from none other than the only girl in the world that could successfully push his buttons and turn him into the proverbial

JUMOKE He has been avoiding me for the past two weeks. My numerous phone calls to him have gone unanswered every day of the last fourteen days. I have hardly seen him and even when I was lucky to see him, before I could even pick a call as I walked towards him in euphoria, he simply disappeared into thin air.

I’m so miserable now because I really miss him and I don’t even know what I did to him to deserve all of this. With every day that passes, I miss him even more and it feels like a wild animal is tearing my

                         CHUKA    I am twenty-two years old and I have a complicated problem. Tosin, my best friend probably hates me now and I sense a certain unspoken tension in the air when we speak. All our laughs and jokes and gist and chants together are all a charade. We are at war with each other; a cold war. I did nothing wrong and perhaps he knows but yet, he has every right to despise me. He loves her, she loves me. I knew from the first day he introduced her to me that things would not be the same again. I did not have the slightest inkling how but I just knew somewhere in my subconscious that things were about to change. Granted, he told me she was the girl that had stolen his heart and he was doing all he could to get her. He stated clearly that she might or might not have known about his love for her or how much it drove him to do things. However, as at the day he introduced us, she seemed to have absolutely no idea how much he was into her. No matter what he did, she ap
