CASE 36 – BEATEN BEFORE MY PARENTS (BSS)

“I can’t handle another battered woman. Please, I’m going to bed.” Abigail sighed. “I’m tired.” “Would you want one on something else?” Toya squinted. “There’s one about choice.” “We said we’d do at least three each time we meet,” Sybil said softly. “The brute I was in a relationship with beat me up at the back of our house while my mum prepared food for him in the kitchen.” “Can you read it,…

MYOPIA – LILY 4 (Final Part)

Running from the beast had never been my plan. I had thought he would be my final stop but I was afraid of what he could do to me. After escaping his clutches, and with no money and a place to go, I was disgruntled. My only companion was my hand-crafted pouch, which housed my silver mirror, potions book, a gray blanket, a matchbox, and some herbs and fruits. For weeks, I wandered aimlessly and…

CASE 35 – DENIED SEX ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT (BSS)

“This makes no sense to me. Trash it.” “Wait. Wait a minute…she’s sixteen!” “The heading is confusing.” Abigail stared closer at her screen. “She’s been married for sixteen years not that she’s sixteen.” “My bad,” Toya said and laughed. “I just saw sixteen.” “But was she saying she was denied sex sixteen years ago or now?” Abigail scanned the page. “Her words are unclear and make the story…

CASE 34 – DEAL OR NO DEAL (BSS)

“Deal!” “No deal.” “Stop it!” Abigail laughed. “You don’t even know what we are dealing.” “Let’s take a guess,” Toya said. Sybil winked. “And a bet.” “Lai! My mummy will beat me.” Abigail pouted. “My mummy said betting is not good.” “Hahaha!” Sybil rolled her eyes. “Life itself is a bet.” “You can tell me about it!” Toya sighed. “I find myself on the no deal side every time.” “Awww.”…

PROVIDENCE – LILY 3 (April 30, 2024)

I couldn’t believe it! The stupid frog refused to become a prince for me. Moving on, I decided to review my list again. Lily’s potential routes to happiness 1. Cinderella 2. Sleeping Beauty 3. Rapunzel 4. Little Mermaid 5. Beauty and the Beast 6. Princess and the Frog 7. Snow White 8. Frozen The opportunities I had left were simple. Of course, meeting a beast was unpleasant but surely…

CASE 33 – I’M SO ASHAMED OF MY MOM! (BSS)

“Dang!” “Bad word.” “In this case, a bleeding bad word, please. Huh!” “I am curious about this person’s age and gender,” Toya said. “I say sixteen. Female,” Sybil said. “My guess too,” Abigail said. Toya sighed. “That will be tough. Let’s read please.” Dear, BSS Crew. My name is AC. I am eighteen, going on nineteen, and a lower-six student at a school where my mother is a teacher. My mom…

CASE 32 – AM I TOO CHOOSY NOW? (BSS)

“You probably are, honey!” “Ha ha ha.” “For me, beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” Toya said. “I don’t care how you look as long as you are a perfect fit for me.” Abigail rolled her eyes. “Says the girl who has only dated handsome men in her life.” “The word handsome is quite subjective as we all may come to understand it,” Sybil said. “People are beautiful in different ways. Some may…

PERSEVERANCE – LILY 2

After the whole “Frozen” saga at the ball, my life returned to normal. Normal in the sense that my village had become a winter wonderland; Princess Isabel ran away and turned the Kingdom’s forest into an icy mountain. Our kingdom was thrown out of balance into fear but I couldn’t care less. My life was more agonizing than before the ball fiasco. I guess it was bearable because I had hope of a…

CASE 31 – THE NEW GIRL AT WORK (BSS)

“Trouble.” “Why do you say that?” “Of course, she will ruffle the waters.” “Or maybe she’s snobbish and quiet and they are unable to win her,” Abigail said. Sybil scoffed. “Win her to do what?” Abigail rolled her eyes. “Join office hangouts, na. What else?” “Huh, office-gini?” Toya grunted. “This doesn’t sound like general something. It sounds personal.” “Let’s read it then,” Abigail…

CASE 30 – HE’S AT OUR HOUSE EVERY DAY AND NOW HE DOESN’T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY (BSS)

“Oh crap.” “No swearing!” “Is crap a swear word?” Sybil grunted. “I don’t know. I’m not an English expert.” “Then why say no swearing when you don’t know.” Toya snapped. “Gosh, Sybil, you’re a lot.” Sybil grinned. “That’s why my husband married me.” “But seriously, is crap a swear word,” Abigail said. “I don’t think so. Maybe just a bad word.” Toya shrugged. “I use it all the time.” “It’s…

COINCIDENCE – LILY 1

At the start of every century, young maidens, somewhere on this earth, experience magical events that change their whole lives. The stars would align in their favor to recreate ancient folklore in their lives. For some, the story is finding out that you’re the fairest maiden in your kingdom, being hated by your stepmother, getting adopted by dwarves and marrying a prince. For others, it is being…

CASE 29 – HERE COMES MY NASTY FRIENDS (BSS)

“This is different.” “Is there anything like nasty friends?” “If they are nasty, why are they your friends?” “My thoughts exactly.” Sybil fussed over a pimple on her cheek. “People and their issues.” “Don’t burst that pimple,” Abigail muttered. “I was going to say that,” Toya said. “If you were beside me, I’d slap your hand.” “Glad I’m not beside you,” Sybil muttered. “In fact, glad you’re…

CASE 28 – CAN I SPEAK? (BSS)

“That’s a scary question.” “Freedom of speech, yes? But freedom after speech, I don’t know!” “Haha, Toya and her way with words!” Sybil smiled. “Not me o, the great Idi-Amin of Uganda,” Toya said. “An evil dictator is now, the great?” Sybil said. “Was he not great? Is his name still not ringing a bell in the minds of his people and the foreigners who visited his country.” “Yeah, but what…

CASE 27 – ATTRACTED TO A YOUNGER MAN (BSS)

“Hmm, how much younger?” “Age is a number.” “I couldn’t care less.” “Well, age is just a number but what about the character and level of maturity?” Toya shrugged. “I am one of those people who can’t marry a younger man.” “You talk of marry?” Abigail chuckled. “I can’t date a younger man.” “What if you don’t know?” Sybil said. “Or do you ask the first time you meet, how old are you?” “I’d…

CASE 26 – I CAN’T HELP MYSELF (BSS)

“You have to!” “Needs to. Must to. Gats to.” “Hoh puh-lease!” “We had fun last weekend. It was great seeing you ladies,” Abigail said. Sybil sniffed. “Ah, please whose husband sulked when they returned home?” Toya and Abigail raised their hands. All the ladies laughed. “He said he hadn’t eaten for three days,” Abigail said. “I was like, but I cooked and kept things in the freezer. And his…
