Late Night Shootout at Embakasi

www.krazyinsidekenya.wordpress.com While on the battlefield, most soldiers fantasise about palm-fringed beaches, sex, and alcohol when, and if, they get back home; not necessarily in that order. They watch poor quality porn on their phones to remind them what they are missing and what the female body looks like. That’s most soldiers, but I am not most soldiers. All I think of is murdering my fiancée. I have not slept. Most nights, I don’t. I am thinking of tomorrow when I leave Somalia. AMISOM 13 is over. I am in the last batch of my unit to leave. Others went back piecemeal since the 8 th Battalion the Kenya Rifles arrived. I stare at the wide panoply of stars and luminous darkness that rules the night from my sentry post. A loud shrill of the muezzin’s call for fajr pierces the pre-dawn silence. It is the dreaded hour. Al-Shabaab come at this time. Reports received yesterday indicated that the dastard bastards were planning to attack a KDF camp in Sector Cen...

VIP Escort

(First published on elovepoetry as Diary of a Rich Men's Girl. ) 15th June; I look at the girl staring back at me in the mirror and I love her. On top of my hospitality profession I've cosmetology and hairdressing skills from beauty pageants I've entered since I joined the University of Nairobi. I even at some point entertained the idea of going modeling but it was a bad, misinformed, career move after series of débâcles on the runway and virulent censures by the judges. But I ended up with a good hand with brush, eyeliner and mascara. I hear the soles of this week's client's shoes on the slate floor of the Nyali Beach Hotel suite. He had gone to the beach to banquet his lusty eyes on other women's busts, butts and thighs. I had refused to accompany him even if he had paid me to escort him wherever he went for the whole weekend. Jeez, does he think I am Secret Service or something? His being away was the only chance I had to get his credit and debi...

Unbroken Happiness

I woke up with a start. The smell of burning flesh congested the air. I did not know it was my skin singeing until I screamed in pain. I’m dying. Oh God, please no. I can’t breathe. My body gave to unknown force, and fell into a dark abysmal hole, head first. “You left me,” I heard a voice say. Love killed me! *** Marline sat across from Eddah on the bed, the bench, where they judged their friends, sentenced obstinate boyfriends to death, gossiped about whose of their baby-mama girlfriends’ boyfriends was deadbeat, and who was trying to snatch so-and-so’s sugar daddy. tumblr.com Eddah reached for the glass of tonic water on the bedside stand and gave it to Marline. Marline wiped her eyes with Eddah’s handkerchief. “He did not even care,” Marline said. “I needed him, and he told me to leave.” Eddah watched Marline’s hand’s delicate movement as she dabbed at her eyes. “I will talk to him?” Eddah offered. “The worst part of it is that I couldn’t walk, th...
