While You Were Away

Posted on January 20, 2021January 20, 2021 by Ernest Tuape

My favorite gospel song is God will make a way by Don Moen. I learned it in 2001, taught by Tr. Awusa. I was 11, a pupil at Ushindi Primary School. This school was run on the foundation of Jesus. Its motto? Victory in Christ. I’d wear my gray shorts, tuck in my blue checkered…

Home Arrest – by Animas

Posted on December 3, 2020December 3, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

(I should have posted this story in September. Yet here I am, many months later, posting it. Please don’t kick me in the butt for this delay.) This story is about how things have changed since the lockdown. Ninja, was ‘’forced’’ to spend some nights at my house. We used to fall asleep on the…

I’m in a good place. I’m happy. God has been good to me. I think it’s time to say this out loud. I was secretly trying to beat my father at this thing called life. I wanted to outlive him. See, my father didn’t live beyond a few weeks of him turning 30. So, thirty…

Do you miss home?

Posted on November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

It’s 11:26pm and I’ve been writing this post for I don’t know how long. Kisses in the Moonlight by George Benson is playing on my YouTube. Elle sent me some pictures of the moon she captured on her camera I don’t know when. I watched the moon last weekend and it has been glowing behind…

I will end up in… – By Animas

I will let you decide where. l have no idea if l am believer but as every good religious person, I pray silently to God only when l am in trouble or want to obtain something. I also pray when I don’t see any escape or options coming out from a certain situation. Sometimes I…

Dating After Funeral – By Animas

Posted on September 16, 2020September 16, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

So, after the Dutch/American architect cheap yahoo boy, I decided not to give up and kept hoping to meet my virtual charming prince riding one of the matchmaker Apps. Mission accomplished, again with no success. The journey was the way any outstanding surgeon would say, “The surgery was successful, but the patient did not survive.’’…

Erase, Shine and Delete – By Animas

After free fall, I learned to fly. My spirit is still under construction. I am still searching and looking for more surprises, more frogs to kiss and waste my time with, more adventures… I started packing, moving out of the place l lived in with Za Decedent. It was essential to me! I had never…

Za Decedent’s Funeral – by Animas

Posted on August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

As I mentioned to you, I will nickname my ex, Decedent, also known for six years as the love of my life. I choose the name Decedent as a form of revenge, out of anger and pain that he caused me when he decided out of the blue to break up with me. Some might…

Cultural Differences – by Animas

Posted on August 26, 2020August 25, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

Living in a civilized so-called western country made me realize that I had a very normal childhood. Can someone define what normal means? In my opinion, normality is reflected by everyone’s perception. What to me seems normal, might sound strange to you and vice versa.  It has shapes. It has behavior patterns. It’s boring. Let’s…

Who am I? – by Animas

Posted on August 19, 2020August 25, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

We met at Sausalitos, a Mexican restaurant and bar that played La Bamba when she walked in. It was a chilly November evening, my fourth Friday in this city and I was still staying in a hotel room. I should’ve ordered a whisky to warm myself up, but a cold glass of beer sweating on…
