Jimmy’’s Face Meets Brick Wall: A story by Fapelo

What if a man were a planet? A twenty-seven-year-old planet going about the motions of adult life like every other planetal-cog in the societal solar system. Jimmy's life was what any Nigerian his age will consider normal, with a job that paid the bills, an active sex life and fairly normal friends. Until he met her that was-the meteor shower that pushed his planet off its orbit. Will he get his life back on track? Does this off kilter planet realign its axis or does it fall off entirely to float in the cosmos? What happens to a man totally out of sorts with caring too much about the right person?
