    Black Short Stories : Spitting( prologue to you won’t find me in da club)

    ………. Truth is, for some time I debated whether to put this out there or not …then I thought, like the rappers say, CNN baby, you lived it, so of course there’s no shame in saying what was what …no hate intended… just a desire to let world (or some corner of it) see...

    Black Short Stories : Love Games-(Belated Valatine)

    Loves Games There was a time when they would cuddle in front of the TV eating Hagen Das out of large cream bowls. Put on weight and not give a **** because love was blind, for a while at least… Finish off each other sentences, then play Trivial Pursuits and...

    Black Short Stories : England Our England-(Freddy the black skinhead...part1)

    The two people that matter most to me when I was a boy are Freddie Owodunni and Richie Skinner. One time the three of us were standing outside the Co Op, not far from where the double-decker buses used to stop. We were passing around a Woodbine. We were all thirteen. I was eyeing up this pretty...

    Black Short Stories : Breathe(part2-The 1970's)

    Finally we arrive at the party. I can hear my younger brother Lade chatting to one of the girls, sitting on the bed over on the other side of the room. The girl has a clear dark complexion, and straightened hair that looks like it has been frazzled to death with a hot comb. She is also wearing...

    Black Short Stories : Homicide on the Streets

    The moment I step outside I am aware of a deafening whirring sound coming from somewhere above my head. Then as I look up, I see a glaring beam of white light and then the underbelly of police helicopter hovering above the roof of my building. The car park is jammed full of people and I push...

    Black Short Stories : Breathe

    The three of us are dressed up like dorks sitting on the sofa watching the Saturday evening Western. We can hear the sound of someone shouting from the landing. Being the eldest I get up from the sofa and head off to the passage. Who was that ringing the bell? asks my mother, leaning over...

    Black Short Stories : MY EX

    At the time I was living in shared accommodation, separate single and doubles rooms, paper-thin walls, a radiator system that leaked once or twice a month. Water seeping onto the carpet. Water running down the walls. A communal kitchen and bathroom. The worse bathroom I ever saw. Permanent ****...

    Black Short Stories : What Ever Happen To the Jazz Hoffer-Don't mean a thing less it's got that jazz swing!

    What ever happened to the Jazz hoofer? That smartly dressed fellow you’d see wearing a classic tailored DB suite; that flaps, twists, wraps and rides about his crazy demeanour, like a cloak trailing the Cape Crusader. Saaaawish! Swish! This way and that with every sudden jerk, every daft pose...

    Black Short Stories : Passionara

    Most of the chefs were loco. The way they acted you’d think they’d never seen a pretty girl before. They were crude and clumsy. I was clumsy but I didn’t make myself a public nuisance. When they weren’t yelling at me, they were groping and trying to feel up the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese...

    Black Short Stories : The New Racism

    I just happened to be browsing through 'Ebony' and I came across the story about the recent arrest of Professor Louis Gates Jr in a section headed-'New Racism'. What got me interested was when I started making comparisons to England, where racial profiling is pretty much, 'Just the way it is'...
